I've been thinking about the movie "Heathers," and the main characters kept writing suicide notes. One simply said "Life sucks." So I think it might be interesting if we all wrote our own suicide notes. If you were to ever kill yourself, what would your suicide note say? What do you think one should sound like ( Read more... )

Mine might say:
nihilism sucks

Nihilist's Nightmare:To whom it may concern,

I have chosen to take my life. I drained a gallon of poison but a few minutes ago and am waiting for the emptiness to consume me. I realize life is empty and the Universe is but random particles. This does not unsettle me. I accept nothingness and the meaningless.

Ah, I can feel the poison working. I can feel the end coming. Physiologically, this is intriguing. Loss of feeling in the extremities, a burning in my stomach. A tingling. Wait, now I see a bright light and a Tunnel - there's a figure, robed, haloed and sadly shaking his head.

oh shit

I would never, ever, ever kill myself, so if I left a note behind, it would say something like:

Well, looks like whatever I did last was pretty darn stupid. Kids, don't try that at home...

or a more simple:

Oopsie!

ha, i think mine would say something like

"i want this note to be published."

and then i wouldnt really be dead.. i'd have hidden somewhere.

That's excellent.

I was about to say that my note would direct people to the *real* note, the one that's about 280 pages and looks like a compilation of short stories.

Or else just a series of notes, like a treasure hunt. At the end...Surprise!

I'm with smeddley, this isn't something I can ever see myself doing. Hard to say for sure though, I might submit a story, following all proper protocols this time, and have it ripped to pieces by everyone on write_away. Hmmm, what would I write?

Hello all,

Liz: I apologize for any mess I left behind, I tried to be as neat as possible. Also, one request, in case I can still see/hear things going on here abouts, I'd appreciate it if you could please continue buying and reading the books by my favorite authors. Eternal boredom'd be a drag.

Cops: I would appreciate it if you didn't try and pin this on any of my friends, loved ones, or coworkers. Its true that they've all probably wanted to do this to me before, but I beat them all to it!

Kiddos: Believe it or not, this is NOT about you, so pay attention to your mother, and don't let the shrinks mess with your head.

Coworkers: Yes, I met my sales numbers for this year, this has nothing to do with that.

Grammar sucks!

Haha! Looks like you covered all the bases.

I just have one critique.... Just kidding!

muchtooarrogant February 22 2006, 06:22:33 UTC

Ooooh, you just wait until the next time you post something, Kiddo.

Though I'm not a suicidal sort of person... sicsempersoy February 21 2006, 14:34:35 UTC

Mine would be rather simple:
"I'm standing right behind you"

and on the back side:
"... Made you look."

Hilarity!

Re: Though I'm not a suicidal sort of person... sicsempersoy February 22 2006, 15:30:03 UTC

My uncle always told me, "open with a joke."

Oh, that's beautiful! I read a story like that once--I'm thinking it was a collection called Haunts, Haunts, Haunts or some such--where the murderer claimed to have placed this special story in the particular book you were reading, and was planning to kill you, the reader, as soon as you reached the end. Unfortunately, the affect was somewhat spoiled for me since, being blind, I was reading the book on tape. (The National Library Service records all types of books for a lending program available only to blind persons.) So, quite contrary to what the author intended, I was cracking up by the end.

"OK, so you modified just this one book, made sure it was the one chosen to be recorded by NLS, tracked all of the copies once it was recorded and which network libraries it was sent to..." *grin*
