Congratulations, it's a very beautiful story! I don't really have a hero but I have idols. Well, here in Spain we have some inspirational people that get you back the faith in human race. The person who inspires me to be a better person is Rafa Nadal, the tennis player. Apart from being a good tennis player, he has also a very good personality. He is so kind and helpful with others, and is a great example of what a good person is. Another person who inspires me is an italian mezzosoprano called Cecilia Bartoli, I've never seen a person enjoying like her as she is singing. And in interviews she is also very sensible and very rational. For the third question I've a very good anwer. My father died when I was 9 years old, and I always felt him by my side. Once, I was riding my bicycle through a narrow path and next to a hign slope. Suddenly I bumped into a stone, I was near to fall down the slope but instead of that I fell on a blackberry plant... In that moment, I felt that he was there to save me from that falling... It was magic, incredible and very touching. Sorry for my english, maybe is not very good!

Great essay! It leaves so many questions though. How did he die? Why did everyone hate heros, was it just bad publicity? We’re there bad guy?

And why for fuck sakes didn’t his dad follow the safety rules we have in western Canada, where you have 2 anchor lines, and before you unhook one, you hook the other one on higher or lower, so you can leapfrog anchors and always be secure? Rookie mistake.
