As i was crossing the bridge, i noticed a car stationary on Cheadle bridge. At first i thought it was a queue of cars to the traffic lights at the Parrs wood Complex but after closer inspection, i noticed there were no cars in front of the stationary one. Then i noticed the driver looking sidewards out of the window.
Thats when i saw him.
A tall guy staring down onto the traffic on the M60 in the lashing wind and rain. I thought something must have happened on the motorway and he was simply watching what had happen. But then i noticed that he was standing on the far side of the barrier with nothing protecting him from falling onto the busy wet motorway. He was going to throw himself off.
This piece surprised me by making me start to cry.
