The morning of October 10th, 2000 at 20.04
A tragic death happened in the 15th district of Paris
It would seem that the man jumped of his balcony, in the tenth floor
And the police immediately confirmed the hypothesis of suicide
He didn't leave any clue as for the reasons of his fatal choice
His family and friends insist on the fact that he seemed perfectly happy,
Nothing could have warned them of such a decision.
The young man's name was Isaac Kravtchenko, he was 22.
His birth was the most premature of this end of century
And the baby stayed in hospital for nearly three months
So fragile he almost never saw the world
His father worked at the airport, and was keen on driving helicopters
But he never took his son with him.
Quite early, young Isaac found himself very interested in aviation,
Building models and home-made motors
Always the best in school, he suffered very much from loneliness.
Never speaking to his careless classmates
His parents took him to a psychologist
Who declared the child was a victim of the Icarus Syndrome
Compulsive neurosis consisting in wanting always to rise, in all the possible domains
Which made him successful in lots of disciplines,
Always followed by a perpetual dissatisfaction.
Isaac was received first of his promotion to the Ecole Polytechnique, at the age of 17.
Enjoying a certain success with the opposite sex
He had many lovers
The very day of his suicide, he made visit to his girlfriend, Manon Deladon.
He suffered from premature ***.
-I have finished !
I have finished my glass, i have finished my studies,
I am a proud graduate, and officially a french ingineer.
-Congratulations indeed !
So, any projects, for the future ?
-Funny you ask, actually, because i have in fact nothing planned...
-Are you telling me proud Isaac has finally reached the top ?
-Cut the crap and kiss me !
-Are you serious ? You wanna *** ?
-Yes I am, I think about that day and night Manon !
-Oh fortunately I have 5 minutes left, before my next appointment
We just have the time to do it !
-So why are you staying with me ?
-Because you always reach the top, Isaac,
but sometimes too fast unfortunately
If Isaac would'nt have jumped, he could have lived the life he always dreamed of.
He could have continued to reaching the top, become a first class ingenieer
Maybe he would have married Manon, and raised four beautiful gifted children
He could have become the boss of a multinational enterprise, earning millions
He also could have lived like a trash under the Pont-Neuf, or become heroine addict.
He could have been baker on Saint-Antoine street, professional soccer player, delivery man, counsellor at the White House,
Bagpipe player, dogs hairdresser, jazz singer, glazier, painter, bartender, priest or rabbi, art critic, choregrapher
Viennese Actionnist, curling champion, adult movies producer, F1 driver, professional wrestler, TV star, philosophy teacher,
Terrorist, royalist, negationist, buddhist, activist, scenarist, anti-Zionist !
He could have been dicator in South-America, created a military and murderous regime, engendered a new holocaust
He could have been volunteer in the Darfour, he could have educated a community of primitive Papuan Indians
Saved Elephants, planted banana trees in New Guinea. He could have been trader at Wall Street,
He could have been able to sell, to buy, to make pour hundreds of companies, boost a whole economy !
He could have won the Nobel Pric in Physics, discovered a new revolutionnar energy, changed the world, voted for someone,
Changed his sex, burned cars, married old ladies, fired at the pianist, changed his sex again, rang bells, ate oysters,
Turned his jacket, polished shoes, broken pipes, punched lilacs, broken the mirror, been in the doldrums, shone a light,
He could have ate the apple
