“I’m begging you, please come down that ledge.” Detective Sara Locke shouted. It was her first-time talking someone down.
Matt shook his head, “No, no, i-if I don’t do this, the bad will take over.”
“No, it won’t,” Sara replied firmly. “Good and bad do exist in everyone and you can control it.”
“Really?” Sara nodded and slowly, Matt stepped down.

Hope she made the right decision in convincing him. I dread to think what would happen if the bad in him took over…

Yikes. 61 words? And I thought 100 was severe. I admire your ability to generate drama in such a short tale.

It was not easy. 🙂 Took me longer than writing 100 words, I can tell you that.

I wish it were that easy to talk someone down. Suicide is a horrible thing.

It’s a subject close to my heart. Two of my brothers committed suicide. So yeah, it’s never easy.
