"Stop climbing bridges, don't you understand?" his mother's hands
trembled, just like her voice did as she told her son for the millionth time
to stop this insanity he called art.
"Why can't you understand that this is what I want to do with my life?!"
Brandon ran back to his room, locked the door behind him and crashed
down onto his bed.
Frozen in thought, he remembered the first time he had climbed the
bridge and looked at New York through a different perspective. Sure, he
climbed the tallest of NYC buildings b ut the beauty of New York with
the combination of adrenaline made it all the much more spectacular. At
only 16, Brandon had climbed onto the top of the George Washington
Bridge in New York.
This took months of agony and questioning. Not only did he question if
it was worth it but if his sanity was still intact. No artist is sane however.
