Okay, you know that kid, Jeff? No. He wrote a couple of stories for you and you rejected them? Yeah. He just handed me this letter, to the editor, and I think it's a suicide note. Where is he?

I don't know how I'm gonna do it, just that I will before the day is over. I can't go on feeling this way any longer. Like I'm on the outside of
the world looking in. I know death will be better than life for me. I know it will stop the pain that's eating me alive. It's the only answer I can't live up to the expectations everyone has for me. They all need too much and I can't compete."
