Is this the suicide hotline?"

"Y-Yes?"

"You don't sound so sure."

"Sorry. I was just surprised. It's a Thursday night, we don't get many calls."

"I'm even a burden to the suicide hotline. Good to know."

"That's not what I meant. My name is Philip, you may call me Phil. What's yours?"

"D-Dan...iel."

"Okay Daniel, why did you call?"

"Isn't it obvious? And call me Dan."

"Well... I like to give people time to explain, to talk while I listen."

"..."

"What are you doing right now?"

"Having a tea party with my brain, on a chair. With a rope? Did you want an invitation?"

"Dan how old are you?"

"14..."

"Wh- you are so young Dan! Please get off the chair.. safely."

"Does this sound safe to you phil?"

"Huh?"
