For some, the Dhargyal Bridge was simply a means of crossing the Shuhueng river, a chillingly cold body of water. But for most, the bridge was the symbol of the sense of community and love shared in the city of Leopolis.
Now, you might wonder where the city got its iconic name. Leopolis citizens are all familiar with the myth that titled their beloved home. Leo “Shuhueng” “Goat” Yan can only be partially proven to even be a real person, but this level of ambiguity was shattered once catastrophe struck.
The Dhargyal bridge has a max capacity of 100 people, but on one stormy day, a man by the name of Neil Wadwha happily trotted across the bridge, unknowingly the 101st at the time.
Instantly, the strength of the Dhargyal Bridge met its match — the bridge split in half and hope seemed out of the picture. Even now, I am bewildered how this article isn’t an obituary and instead a heroine story.
But alas, out of nowhere, the bridge reconnected, seemingly held up by another exterior support.
It was the legend himself, Leo. He said his signature line, “I want carrot, I want lettuce,” and quickly fled the scene. But people will not forget what they saw. And they definitely won’t forget his heroic actions that saved the lives of many.
