To Tell the TruthThe garden was a pretty little thing. A rectangle of grass surrounded by flower beds, a little bench at one side. On three sides, the red-brick walls of Appleton House stood guard, and on the fourth, a rough little slope led down to the river. On the far side, a willow tree drooped into the water, the slow-moving current gently rustling the leaves. The evening sun cast a deep golden light onto the garden, long shadows stretching from the slats of the wooden bench. Two people sat there: one older, one younger; one with grey hair, one with black; one with a walking stick resting gently in his hand, one without.

Train TracksI had thought of drowning myself, but then I might have ended up decaying at the bottom of some lake, surrounded by rotting fish giving off the reek of ammonia. Thats just really not where you want to end up. No, I decided putting a dent in a train with my huge ass and then being splattered across train tracks would be a much better end. Although, it seems theres something funny about fat people. Something unpredictable.
