Description
I looked out to the sea from the bridge. I heard a car pass behind me. I took a deep breath focusing on all my life problems. I held it as long as I could. No matter as much as I tried the breath got away. Sighing I remembered my fear of heights, and could not help but to chuckle. I jumped. I watched the water come closer and closer. I realized to late that the fall would not kill me. When I hit the water I swam as far down as I could. The river was pretty deep so I could not swim the whole way down. As my lungs started to hurt I saw red. The water was cold and I began to shiver. t was not much longer that I passed out. I woke up to someone's mouth on me. My ribs felt like they may be cracked. My body gasped for air refusing to let me die. I could hear the cheers from the crowd that must have gathered to watch the "rescue". my "rescuer" made a canny remark about watching my step when on a bridge, but I was not listening. I could not even die right. I was such a screw up. I stared out to sea. I noticed I was still shivering and someone had put a towel around me. After a while I got up and thanked my "rescuer" and left. I got in my car and drove . It was a about a hour when I got to the next bridge. This one was a lot higher. I purposely blocked traffic with my car. I went to the side of the bridge and stared out to the river. As the horns began clouding my thoughts I jumped. I felt the wind all around me. Ruffling my clothes. Rubbing my face. Rubbing my face. Racking my head. Once again the fall did not kill me. I swam as deep as I could. My lungs began to cramp. I began to gasp for air. As my lungs filled with water my vision blurred; and dimmed. "I wonder if I'll be rescued again" I think as I passed out.Related content

Creepy but very well written, I'm not for suicide, but I see the beauty in writing about it, I have my own piece like it, feel free to take a look.

I agree with the earlier comments.
There are mistakes that should be looked over before you post it. Like ~emoMCRluvr said, you should read it out loud before.
But it's a great deviation. Keep up the good work c:

I really like this, but I agree with ~emoMCRluvr. You really have to make the sentences longer. But I like the idea, and in my own twisted way, I like the narrators determination to die. I like how rescuer is in quotes, as if the narrator doesn't believe that. And the cliffhanger at the end is killer. <3

In this one, I really like what the narrator is feeling, and how the previous commenter put "I wonder how far someone will go to save me". The end was also my favorite part.
This particular work isn't as choppy as your other ones, but there are still some grammatical and spelling errors that you should look over.
I don't want you to rewrite your whole work, I just think that you should be much more careful when you write - and before you post. And like I advised earlier, I would read it out loud an correct it before I posted anything. (I understand how hard it can be. I post things and go back later thinking "Aw, Crap" because I made editing mistakes and they were up there for a week or so.)

I really like the line "No matter as much as I tried the breath got away. " and the ending thought leaves me with lots of thought. Like the narrator wants to see how far people are willing to go to save him/her.

(and by ending thought I mean "I wonder if I'll be rescued again")
