MOUNTAINEER

There was this group of guy, 2 to be precise. They're making their way up to a mountain peak to achieve their goals. They helped each other when they fall, helping another to rise again and continue their journey to the peak. But as time passes, no one fell. They were metres away from their goal when suddenly one of them loose his grip and fell. The other doesn't want to lose the chance to get to the peak. It was this close! But when he tried to climb another step, the other is holding him down, pulling the safety rope that ties them together, creating a force that was opposing his efforts. Within the blink of an eye, he took out his penknife, cut the rope and pulled out every last breath of him and finally, he reach to the top. The other been cut down, had fall all the way down down down... And he fell hard. The friend suddenly realise that, although he had reached his goal, he doesn't have anyone to celebrate and share with.
