"Walking, everyone is walking... this is the first time I stand up from away from the city... it sure looks beautiful at night... so many nights without seeing it... the hole is still there and the poor b*****d that felt from there is still dead... the only thing that its not the same is me... funny..."
'Johnny', that was the name the guy said before died and so that was the name he took for himself before he went back to the city that abandon him seven years ago...
~~~~†~~~~
He was walking just like every day, going to work, following the line, waiting to get to his house to sleep and go back to work again. The curious thing was that in that time Johnny didn't think about those things, it was just a normal thing. The routine. That was the only way to get into a higher level, even though he had being said not to try to impress his boss, since that was a wrong attitude, so there he was, he was 17 years old and he was working just like anyone else, he had been walking all his life, on the line to get to school, on the line to get to the classroom, on the line to get to the yard, on the line to get to his house, and as he grew the line grew, now he was on a bigger line, the line to work, the line to the elevator, the line to his office and all the way back, had been like that for years.
Johnny was 21 now, he was still working in the same office, going trough the same elevator and seeing same people everyday in the past four years. But he had hope, he knew that TV didn't lie, he knew that the signs of the people that were in higher positions weren't fake pictures, he knew that because he was told in school lots of years ago. But there he was making his line to a higher position, or at least he thought so, during four years he went all the way up and down on the elevator, during four years he made the same line behind the same people. One day a bald guy didn't appear at the line to work, Johnny later found out that the guy was dead, he still didn't care, because he was going up, he was getting to a higher position , or at least he thought so.
During his fourth year Johnny got himself a girlfriend, they lived together at Johnny's home, a small apartment with one room and a small bathroom, they lived happy because Johnny was getting to a higher position, or at least they thought so. Danielle, Johnny's girlfriend, was also getting to a higher position, but she knew it, because her work was to serve a higher positioned man, and he had told her she was getting up. But we will end that story later.
Johnny was happy with Danielle, and their little dream. He started to meet his friends during the weekends and to watch TV with them, while Danielle went shopping, it was a dream come true, he had friends that supported him, a beautiful girlfriend that loved him and a home to give her the love she deserved, and on top of that he was getting to a higher position, or at least he thought so.
One day Johnny was watching the game with his friends and he got a call.
"Excuse me guys am gonna take this outside" -he told them while jumping off the couch - "Hello" -as soon as he answered the call dropped. He thought that was strange but it sure was a miss call. He took that time go outside to see the landscape of that amazing concrete jungle filled with the dreams of people like him, people that wanted to go up, and someday get to live happily ever after, but he knew that was just a matter of time... In that precise moment he saw something he couldn't understand, while all his dreams and hopes were crushed by a feeling of hate, he couldnt understand why Daniella was coming to the house from another direction, different from the mall. He thought that she might went to another place and maybe that was the reason why she had other clothes on, he let go of that feeling and relaxed his mind thinking that she would never cheat on him.
The days passed and he was living the good life again, but the feeling was still there, he couldnt think of nothing else. So he made a decision.
The next weekend his friends went to his house again, and Danielle went out. He told his friends that he was going to the bathroom but instead he went out, he followed Danielle, the path she took was completely opposite from the mall, instead she you took a taxi a few blocks from their little nest of love...
Johnny didnt stop, he kept walking until he got where the taxi stopped, it was a fancy building, his boss building. Johnny followed up the stairs, 8 floors in a row, he at least had good health he thought.
Once on the floor of his boss he saw Danielle there looking everywhere like if she could get caught, then the door was open, his boss came out and kissed her then they both went into the apartment.
He couldnt take it anymore, all his dreams, all his hopes, everytime his boss had told him 'dont let her go' came to his mind. Without thinking it more he knocked the door down. The alarm started to sound and his boss with Danielle were there on the floor, both half dressed. He was about to kick his boss when he was grabbed by two huge guards...
"Let me go!!" thats my girlfriend and the son of a b***h on the floor its my boss -he screamed as loud as he could- "let me kick the b*****d you freaking gorillas!!"
-One of the guards hit him in the back of his head and asked the othe guy- "do you know this guy, mister Diamonds?"
"No, I have never seen him before" -Mr.Diamond replied in a dry tone
"And you, Ma'am?" -the other guard asked Danielle
-Johnny was still conscious when he heard her say- "No, I dont... "
