Tom had arrived at work at the high rise and parked
his motorcycle. It was a cold and windy day so it should
be pretty miserable up top. He started to get on all of his
safety equipment. He realized how tired he was from his
weekend with Laura. He had enjoyed the time immensely
and couldn't wait until they actually started a life together.
He liked that Laura was cautious and appeared to be in no
hurry to get hitched. He needed her to know his music
world and know that she could live with the life. He
approached his boss who looked at Tom and said, "Hey
man. You don't look so good. What the hell did you do this
weekend?" Tom replied, "I'm fine man. I'll be okay, Bob."
The boss had treated his employees like his kids and he
knew Tom was lying to him. He thought he should just
send him home without pay that day to let him rest. He
had seen one too many guys come in from late nights and
have bad falls. He liked Tom and the last thing he wanted

thought of this pot-bellied old man kicking Tom's already
mostly broken body after a fall was just hilarious. Tom
started to the outdoor elevator and started the climb.
As Tom climbed he was thinking about Laura and their
weekend together. He did not sleep well last night
becausehe couldn't quit thinking about her. He thought
he should have just stayed with her and not left. He
was afraid to stay and then they both would not sleep.
God, he just couldn't win right now. He had arrived
now at his destination and the elevator stopped.
He stepped out to the beams and suddenly he thought
I just need to hear her voice then I can start my
day. He slid over to the side beam and got
out his phone. He hit Laura's picture and his phone
started to call her. Just then a huge whipping wind came
through the beams. The crew started yelling at each
other, "Hold on!" But it was too late for Tom as he had
