Kevin Shapiro, Boy Orphan
 

(no chapter number)

Kevin Shipiro thought about jumping off the ledge. He had had a rotten life. In fact it was so rotten that it really nauseated him to think about it. Kevin didn't really want to jump, but the people below kept chanting, "Jump! Jump!" Kevin decided not to jump. While edging his way to the window, Kevin slipped and took out three of the crowd.
