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.
