Jumping To Action

I saw him outside the window.

I was on the 37th floor.

By the time i worked out how to open the window latch, he'd already moved to the corner of the building.

I leant out the window, and I realized i wasn't sure what to say. I'd never thought of what to say to someone clearly about to jump.

"Hey man, you wanna talk?"

It would have been a decent opening line, except he said it.

"I'd like that."

He snorted.

"That's the problem, everyone just wants to talk. No action!"

So i got out and dragged him inside.
