An Invitation to the Abyss
Ah, so you've decided to crack this open after hearing the news, haven't you? The author's dead. Ended it all. Suddenly, this-a book you'd never have glanced at otherwise-feels irresistible. The final words of a person who couldn't be bothered to stick around. You're hoping for insight, maybe a glimpse of the precise moment I gave up. How utterly predictable.
Let me save you the trouble: this isn't a manifesto, a cry for help, or some grand statement about life's meaninglessness. It's just a long, slow exhale-a catalog of bitterness, exhaustion, and the thousand small betrayals that built up until they crushed me. No neat conclusions, no poetic revelations. Just the mess I left behind.
You'll call it haunting, unflinching, maybe even necessary reading. But let's be real: you're not here for literary merit. You're here for the spectacle, the posthumous voyeurism. You want to sift through the wreckage of my mind and find something you can tweet about-some juicy little quote to pair with a candle emoji and a shallow expression of "loss."
So go on. Read it. Find whatever scraps of meaning you can, and tell yourself it matters. But as you do, remember: this book isn't a window into my soul. It's a mirror, and every line you cling to will tell you more about your hollow fascination than it ever will about me.
Enjoy the show.
