mfw they clean him up and tell everyone there's a delay

>>10015698

>cringe
So? What are you like, traumatized now or something? That's really played out dude.

>>10015725
Have a little more humanity. Anon probably just witnessed his first death.

>>10015698
NYC by chance?

>>10015725
I dont think so. just heard someone run and i looked up because why would you run and he just jumped down and vroom train went right into him. and of course i was the only person there at the time to see this. i just got up and left and walked to work. seeing all the rekt threads really doesnt prepare you for seeing it first hand.>>10015724
yeah i looked on the ttc twitter they call it a personal injury at track level.

>>10015738

Did anyone lol?

>>10015732
toronto. i go after to get a coffee and some lady is all pissy because theres a line. like lady shut the fuck up and chill out someone just died jesus christ you will get your coffee and be okay.

>>10015745
no you nigger, my end i was the only person there. its a really dead station.

Once I was waiting for the subway and I heard the annoucemnt for a delay. Someone next to me said "most likely a suicide this early in the morning", I responded "lucky bastard" was the first thing that occured to me to say.

I realized then that I might be depressed.

>>10015738
New york city trains recently started not lying about it. Even though everyone knows when it happens it's more humanizing to hear it announced.

>>10015758
what i want to know is whether or not he paid his fare. because at my entrance its only presto turnstiles that you can easily hop over.

>>10015698
That's funny, I've seen a few incidents of murder and a few dead bodies in my travels but they didn't seem to affect me. Death seems pretty natural tbqh

>>10015758
I'm always more happy than sad for people who commit suicide. Their pain is over. Sucks for family and whatnot but they wouldn't have gone through with it if there was hope.

unironically the irrelevant chris fogle novella/soliloquy.

>>10015767
im not too bad. im fine. but just that fucking picture of him jumping down and the goddamn pitter patter of running feet that made me look up really pisses me off. i will not forget this. how inconsiderate.

>IMPLYING

You dumbass. There is always hope. Just because you read le sad books about dying doesn't mean that suicide deserves any kind of pity.

>>10015767
>not poetically trying to contextualize those events in your life

So many robots on this board lol

>>10015783
I'm talking about perception and feeling you emotional degenerate

>>10015772
My great great uncle just died of natural causes a few days ago, one week after a failed suicide attempt in his nursing home, and I got weird looks when I said I was happy for him. The nursing attendants even said that he didn't really seem depressed at all. The guy was just ready to go, and I'm glad he got to sign off his final chapter.

>>10015794
Yeah. I mean no one chooses to live but you CAN choose to die which is pretty fucking rad if you think about it. It's the best gift you can ever give yourself. I hope I live long enough to decide that being old is boring and go out on my terms.

One time a nigger was smoking in the L, and some bitch told him to stop. But he didn't stop, so the bitch and I just walked to a different car, because I don't want to smell like cancer and neither did she.

I'll say

>>10015808
I hope he blew smoke in your face

>>10015808
Lol you got straight CHAD'd let a nigga jus be

>>10015808

This is why smokers are alpha.
So what, he'll leave this miserable planet 5 years before you. What are you going to do with those 5 extra years on him?
Oh that's right, you'll be a dumb faggot.

>>10015698
I was riding the subway with a girl once and the train announced that their would be a delay due to a "personal injury at track level" and I had to explain to her that someone killed themselves.

>>10015749
All jokes aside I'm sorry you went through that Anon, that's some horrible shit to see. Feel bad for these conductors too. Hope you're alright.

>>10015749
TTC has way too many jumpers man. sorry you had to see that.

Damn Toronto sounds like my kinda town

>>10015738
>just got up and walked to work
>not calling your boss and getting an extra day off because you just saw someone get pasted by a train
Good job

>>10015772
>they wouldn't have gone through with it if there was hope
That's wrong anon. Speaking from personal experience just because you can't find a way to get better doesn't mean there isn't one.

>>10015889
I am my boss.

This happened at my university twice in one year. One girl jumped to her death from the top of the library and another student who sat next to me was apparently struck dead by a drunk driver as he was leaving a party. Very depressing.

My uncle with who I had lived in same room for the last 2 years killed himself two days after I called him worthless lazy piece of shit who is always running away from responsibilities and making up excuses.

>>10016096

You sound pretty guilty and torn up about it. It's not your fault.

>>10015698

Guy should have tried to beat the bloor street viaduct suicide prevention fence. Jumping in front of trains is just mean to the conductor and people in the station.

In terms of books for that feel, I guess Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus would be topical. I couldn't name a novel for an hero feels.

Anna Karenina not feels wise but content wise

>>10016214
How are you supposed to empathise with a dead person

>>10015778
Doesn't sound edgy at all

Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby.

No one jumps in front of a train, but the feel fits.

Cancer isn't something that you're fine and then suddenly you die. It's slow.

>>10016757
This came to mind yes

>>10017337
It can be faster if you don't take any treatment for it.

>>10015767
Did you witness the death?
I've seen stray dogs chew up a dead body while I was eating in northern India. Didn't bother me. Watching someone die of unnatural causes most likely would

>>10015725
Its not edgy to be edgy anymore. We're post post modern now.

>>10015698
I am sorry you had to witness that, anon. Hope you're doing okay.

David Means has a story called "Railroad Incident August 1995." It's basically about the relationship between a bunch of people who are involved in an accident (sort of) similar to what you witnessed. I don't want to spoil anything though. It's one of the best short stories I've ever read. Very mindfucky and just stunning. His whole collection "Assorted Fire Events" is great. Not sure it's exactly what you need, seeing as you just went through it, but read it when you can.

oh yeah guess he should have got down on the tracks and given him mouth to mouth you fucking retard

>>10015802

>>10018142
Not OP but thanks for that.

Why does the world still seem "fake"? I thought this effect of seeing the an hero would fade away by now. It's hard to explain the feeling. Almost like I am Truman from the Truman show and everyone else is an actor. It's similar to a feeling I got from magic mushrooms when I was a teen. Almost like they secretly know what o saw and are acting a part. Shit is weird.
