Summary
"Don’t say you want to die, Newton,” were the first words out of his brother’s mouth after Newt mentioned how, sometimes, he wished he could stop existing. “People like that are failures. You aren’t a failure, are you?”
“No, I’m not!” And that was the last time they ever spoke of it. (Really, when Newt looked back on it, they should have kept talking about it. He had been eight when those words had been exchanged. Eight year olds should not want to kill themselves.)

Summary
I’m not dying in glory.
There is no glory here.
There’s just the lucky ones and the unlucky ones— and really, when you stop to think, who actually are they?
Are the “lucky ones” those who are still alive? Like me? Am I actually lucky? Or are the dead the lucky ones. Relieved from these bogs and the world who won’t ever treat them any differently from when they left. Relieved from the unforgiving reality of existence.
