Over, Gone, and Lost

"Whatcha doing?"
"I'm about to kill myself so don't try to stop me"
"I wasn't going to, but can I make a suggestion"
"What"
"You should do it on the bridge over Jefferson Lake, it's higher and the water is colder so if you don't die on impact you will freeze to death as you drown,"
"Is this some sort o reverse psychology thing?"
"No, I'm just trying to help, I can take you there if you want and I won't try to convince you not to do it"
