The End

The story begins with the end. Its about an old man named Eddie. He is the maintenance worker at Ruby Pier, an amusement park by a great ocean. This park has all kinds of attractions and included a new one called Freddy's Free Fall; Where later Eddie would be killed by accident.

Eddie is a squat, white haired old man, with a short neck, a barrel chest, thick forearms, and a faded army tattoo on his right shoulder. He used a cane to get around because of his left knee being wounded in war was ruined by arthritis.

The story opens with Eddie's 83rd birthday. Acting like he doesn't really care about it, he spends all his time working at the park making sure the rides were in good condition. He was a friendly person and traded kids like if they were his own. He had a special feeling for this little girl named Amy? Annie? he didn't remember. The hours went by and Eddie was acting normally, walking around the park like usual; not knowing that this was the last day of his life on earth. While walking Eddie found one of his closest friends, Dominguez. After a little conversation Eddie reaches into his left pocket and takes out two twenties and gives them to Dominguez, asking him to buy his wife something special. This was one of the last nice things Eddie did before dying.
The same day in the afternoon Eddie heard a woman yelling with her eyes to the skies. He immediately saw the top of Free Fall; the new tower attraction. One of the carts was tilted to an angle as if trying to drop its cargo. While trying to save the four passengers in that ride, Eddie gets killed by one of the carts falling on him, "GET BACK!" were the last words he said to the crowd. Eddie felt two small hands in his own before dying; he did not know whose they were.
