Tonio and the Blue Light (5 ratings)
         by Vincent C. V. Estrellado
Page 5 of 5
The young Tonio, probably blinded by wealth or it was the innate greediness in him that he himself did not know, thought of him as crazy. Trying to convince his past self over and over again, he got fed up. The wife was also tired of the same allegations all the time that they decided to send him to a mental institution.

            It was on a cold December that it was finalized. And what is the future Tonio to do? No one would believe his story and no one knows the truth. He was locked in a mental hospital. He himself even started believing that he was crazy. He never expected any of this to happen but it did. He could only explain that fate had played dirty tricks on him. One night, in his cell, he shouted: The tragedy of my life is nothing more than just a malicious joke from someone who created my existence.

            He cried all night. The next day, he was found dead, electrocuted while touching the bulb of a blue Christmas light.
