Phillips hair was soaked from the drizzle. What possessed him to return to the bridge was beyond his comprehension. He’d been on vacation for a year, trying to recover from a past suicide attempt. He found himself at the bridge again, replaying his breakdown in his head. He remembered the kindness of a stranger who had saved him. Seeing someone else on the edge of the bridge, he felt compelled to help, remembering his own experience and the need to pay it forward. He approaches cautiously, offering words of comfort and support. He introduces himself and asks if he can help. He hopes to offer the same kindness that was shown to him.
