"Never cry" Jim thought as his belongings shattered on the floor.

He did, his traitorous eyes welling up.

"Never cry" Jim repeated, picking up the pieces of his art project.

He failed, and the salty water drew wet lines on his face.

"One day, they will cry", Jim thought, swallowing back tears.

The day Carl died, tears filled up Jim's world. Even the sky wept. The raindrops, stained with petrol and the dirty English air, hit black umbrellas and turned the ground into mud.

Everybody cried…

except for Jim, who would never cry again.
