Sorry but this post is not for the faint of heart.
1. I just saw someone die.
2. I was walking from Starbucks on the ground floor of Megamall A to the supermarket. I was near the elevator when I saw a pair of legs drop beyond the railing, from up top. Then it disappeared below. Then a thud.
3. I was the only one screaming because I instantly knew it was a person. The others looked at me then ran to the railing, and looked downward. More screaming.
4. I also ventured to see. The legs again, now with blood splatter around it. The body was hidden from view.
5. A Chinese lady from Bread Pan approached to tell me that the same person tried jumping from the fifth floor yesterday, but a crowd stopped him. She said it is a man. I walked away, shaken.
6. I reached the escalator near the supermarket. A mother was riding the escalator upwards, while toting a child in her arms. She was screaming in horror: No one should go down! Or else!
7. In retrospect, I'm lucky that I have not seen his face.
