In a pitch black night, there was a lone man dragging his feet across the hard surface of the asphalt. As he was walking down the dark, empty street, he noticed a corpse of a stray kitty. It looked like a roadkill.
"Truly...A sad and pitiful being."

The man remembered his miserable, failure-filled life. He lacked talent and intelligence, but it was his clumsiness that ruined everything. At school, his grades were so bad that his education were held up for years. His parents were mocked for their failure of a son and one day, both of them were killed in an accident. Passed around by relatives, he eventually ended up all alone. He tried to fend for himself but misfortunes always accompanied him. When he tried to get a job, he would get fired after a single day of working. His friends and his ex-coworkers disliked him for being a troublemaker, though unintentionally. Outsiders would call him with detestable names and were deemed useless by the community. Yet, there was still love in the society. A beautiful, good-natured girl fell in love with him and they got married, despite other's furious objections. Then with her money, they were able to rent a small apartment for their humble lives. He thought that he had been the happiest man on Earth. And even better, a company had accepted his application. He had a perfect wife, a perfect job. He thought this was a gift from God itself. But God is a fickle man...

One day, he made a mistake on a very important report which caused the company to lose an important customer. That customer was a reporter who wrote an article how filmsy his company were. Hit by the lack of customers, the company went bankrupt, by his own hands. Devastated by his failure, he sought comfort of his wife when he found her opening the door. He decided to tell her everything that had transpired until he saw her luggage. Then he noticed that she wore a bit too fancy at home. That was when she struck a final blow.
"YOU USELESS JACKASS! You made your company bankrupt? Just how much of an idiot are you? You are SUCH a useless husband! I have no idea WHY I took pity on such a person. From this day onwards, we're strangers. Don't try to contact me EVER AGAIN! You hear me?" Then she threw at him the key to the apartment and the ring he had given her for wedding. (Which was bought with loaned money) He tried to stop her, but she seemed so far away, yet so close...He couldn't do anything. He was useless, pathetic. He wasn't able to do anything. His life had been destined with misfortunes. The fleeting happiness had vanished and instead, the harsh reality.

Then a sound of an engine brought him back to reality. He saw circular lights heading his way. "It must be coming from a car's headlights." He thought. Should he not move, he would not end up like the "pitiful being" he had seen. Yet he moved his body onto the road, staring at what would be his demise.
"Let it all end." He muttered. Then there was a loud sound of metal hitting flesh. Next was a high pitch sound caused by the brakes and a click sound coming from the car's door. In a dark, empty street laid an unfortunate animal, a desperate man whose cries for help echoed through the endless night and a would-be corpse of a sad and pitiful being.
