Illustrate a Story

Illustrate a Story

At the beginning of this story there was a man named Christopher, who came from the middle east and had experienced combat from war. When he got back and arrived to his apartment he discovered that his girlfriend was with another man and to add insult to injury cleaned out his whole bank account leaving him homeless. He called the Veterans crisis line which is a suicide prevention hotline. As he talked to Elizabeth Olsen on the hotline in which she managed to get him from jumping off a bridge not once, but twice. The police managed to take him in custody overnight.

The picture below is a man threatening to jump off a bridge, similar to what Christopher from the story had intended to do. It's a shame that not only the man in the story but people in general would succumb to trying to take their own life. Especially at such an early stage of their lives. Luckily Elizabeth Olsen convinced him just that! The fact that he was still young and able to start over.
