A Backwards Suicide

As the funeral procession begins to carry the casket backwards, the family and friends dressed in black with their heads hung low slowly walk in reverse to their cars.  The cars of people with tear-stained cheeks drive backwards the way they came.  When they returned to the funeral home, the casket with the young boy inside, was already open for the viewing.  The people stopped hugging and the crying ceased as people gathered their coats and drove backwards to their homes.  The beautiful arrangement of flowers were returned to the florist, rather to be sold to young lovers for weddings, anniversaries, and happy, romantic gestures. 
News of the funeral was sent from recipients back to the boy's family.  The seemingly never-ending overflow of water rolled back up the boy's mother's cheeks and into her tear ducts.  The phone, with the coroner on the line, shot up from the floor back to the mother's trembling hand and the announcement of her son's suicide rolled back into his throat. The phone returned to its holder with its rings rewinded as the mother returned to her place beside the window, watching the glimmering lights from the skyscrapers in the city, which she called home.
Meanwhile, on a sidewalk a few streets away, the splattered body of her depressed son flew backward in the air.  Flying towards the roof of the towering skyscraper from which he had jumped, his body reformed and he was alive again, contemplating his death.  His tears ran up his cheeks and he walked backwards home.
The months of endless harassment that led him to stand on the edge were reversed.  The bullets telling him he was ugly, stupid, useless, a failure, and so on, were never spoken.  Punches and kicks turned into smiles and hugs.  The demons in his head filling his mind with dark thoughts and screaming he was worthless and deserved to die were replaced with hope and faith.
The recovered boy went on to become a scientist who developed cures for cancers and saved millions of lives for generations to come.  The world can be cruel, but with acts of simple kindness a suicide can be prevented and turn someone into a hero.
