Unhinged
Belittled and abandoned, the little boy grew up with a desolated soul and spirit hearing voices and seeing visions about unexistent things that only existed in his mind. Raised in an orphanage, years passed by and the boy became a man, that did not recognize the differences between sanity and unsanity. Nobody could bring him to receive the necessary treatment.
Schizophrenia was the mental aliment that impaired the reality of the poor man rejected since his childhood. One day walking near a bridge, trying to alleviate his anguish, he climbed to the top of the bridge, jumping to cold water and drowning without remedy, terminating his earthly existence and beginning a new one in a place where suicidals do not find the peace longer.
