EDIT: I never posted this because I wasn't sure about it. But I've decided to post it now because I like when my writing has anger in it. This one has a fuck-ton of anger. So here you are.

Dear Hector Kipling,
the self-absorbed hector kipling; hector "why am i not crying?" kipling;
the late hector kipling. [you're not actually dead. you just wish you
were.] [i would too if i fucked my life up as bad as you did, yours.]
first thing's first: what the actual fuck.
you're an idiot. you are a complete and utter fool.
lenny is right, you only care about yourself. it doesn't matter how many
times you apologize for it. you're a selfish bastard. who cares about
eleni? who cares about kirk? who cares about your father? who cares
about your mum? who cares? who fucking cares?
i think i might care about them more than you do. i'm an outsider. i'm
watching your life play out on these pages. these three hundred and
fifty-something pages. a stranger. i had to sit through those three
hundred and fifty-something pages and watch you fuck up your life.
fuck. what the fuck. how the fuck. i'm so mad at you.
you cried wolf! "oh, i'm so hard done by, i've never experienced the
death of a loved one!"
well, hector, old friend, you jinxed it. at least three people you know
and love start dying and you can't handle it. what the fuck did you
expect?
fucking artists. fucking painters. fuck you guys. you wanted the pain
for your art and you couldn't handle it. you couldn't even turn it into
something beautiful. you just fucked everything up. all of it. every
last bit of your life; fucked sideways.

THE LATE HECTOR KIPLING, a letter to the character Hector Kipling
from the book by David Thewlis.
He's a fucking idiot but a great character. Fuck him.
