Short stories with unusual endings

I heard this story many years ago while listening to Paul Harvey on the radio.

Seems that this young man went to visit his girl friend with the intention of breaking up with her. See lived in an apartment house on the 15th floor and, after climbing the stairs and entering her apartment he broke the news to her. They had been engaged and this revealation came as quite a shock to her and needless to say, she was devastated. After a short exchange, the young fellow left and proceded back down the 15 flights of stairs. In the mean time the young lady found the news of the break-up entirely more that she could live with so she went to the window and jumped out. She fell those 15 stories and landed below but, it didn't kill her. The reason her life was spared is the fact that she landed on something that cushioned her fall. She had landed on that young fellow that had just recently broke-up with her. It killed him..................this is a true story. It took place in Czechoslovakia.

But as she jumped, he hadn't exited the front door yet. How could she have planned it? Maybe she figured out the rate of fall calculated against the pace of his walk??..............Maybe, but that would require a calculator.........humm..........No, I don't think she had enough time nor interest, she just jumped. Do you think he had it coming??

I don't think he had it coming, but I do think there are ways the determined individual could have accomplished what she did.

Maybe she saw his reflection in a car window as he exited the building (Assuming the building had a glass door). Maybe he paused after exiting the building, thinking about what he had done.

I don't know, but it could have been done

You may be right Dark......she certainly had a bone to pick, little pun there, with him.
