Great men do not always die great deaths. Such would be the case for a MR. Charley Allen, or would it?
A small crowd had gathered around the body, getting as close as they could without having the smell of death invade and overwhelm their senses. The police arrived shortly there after and came to the conclusion that the man must have jumped, because the alternative was too grizzly to imagine.
Later the man was identified as Charley Allen, an eccentric yet loved professor at the same university that his body was found outside. Despite having no immediate family, friends said it came as a real shock. The man loved to teach and had the most positive attitude anyone had ever known. Nothing scared him, suicide made no sense and yet that had to be what happened.
Earlier that day: The classroom was full and sunlight was pouring in through the open windows. “ We are going to discuss death today class.” The announcement was met with cool indifference and snide comments like “maybe you should pull the shade. Clearly the class did not want to discuss the touchy subject which was just what professor Allen had hoped for. “ Why on Earth would I pull the shade?” He asked addressing the snide student. “ It just feels like it should be dark since we are discussing death,” he replied.
Present: The police officers looked perplexed, based on the description of professor Allen they really could not rule out murder, he just did not seem to be the suicidal type. The murder of a professor would look horrible for the community, enrollment would go down, and the killer would need to be apprehended. The officers asked the close friends who had seen him last. They told him he had a class about four hours ago.
Naturally all the kids from the class were questioned. They all said the professor was liked by all the students, but they also all mentioned some disturbing things from the days lesson.
Earlier that day: “ You think it should be dark when we are discussing death, ever wonder why?” The professors lecture was bizarre at best. He began by asking who in the class was afraid to die. Naturally the whole class rose their hands. He then asked who as a child was afraid of the dark, again everyone rose their hand. Professor Allen smiled his point would not be lost on this group. “ Why are your afraid of death:” He addressed the class as a whole and still no one answered. Instead the professor answered his own question “ you do not fear death nor darkness, only the unknown.”
Present: “ We should go up to his classroom there may be clues,” the speaker looked dutiful yet not hopeful. The police team went up to professor Allen’s room and were unsurprised to see that all looked normal. Nothing out of place, no suicide note, except a small piece of paper, a sticky note on the window he had earlier jumped out of.
Earlier that day: On he lectured shaking the beliefs of every student in the room. No one ever said death was terrible so why be afraid of it. The unknown is not bad it is just that unknown. Living with fear is cheating yourself, especially when the fear is totally unfounded. He ended his lecture by quoting Yoda in regards to those who had passed “ mourn them do not, miss them do not.” One student broke the silence by saying “ professor you can preach not being afraid of death all you want, but deep down everyone fears it.” In response professor Charley Allen replied wit ha smile “ your wrong.” He then began to ponder how to get through to his class.
Present: The sticky not left on the window read Live without fear and you life will know no bounds.
