In the afterlife the creatures that gathered around him asked, “Why did you do it? Why did you jump in front of that train?”
He shrugged. “Life wasn’t worth living anymore. And I wanted revenge.”
“Revenge?”
“Yes, revenge.”
“On whom?”
“On the man driving the train, obviously. My wife was divorcing me, a lawyer, to be with a locomotive engineer. Can you believe that? So I had to do something about it. I jumped in front of his train and now he’s got PTSD, depression, he’s about to lose his job, my wife has second thoughts about being with him. His life’s nasty, alright.”
