When you read the foreword of my newest story, know this: I'm not kidding. The message of the story in question is both unhelpful and unhealthy. This story glorifies both human extinction and climate change. I'm being dead serious because this story is designed to be deliberately terrible. Also, spoiler alert, but there is one point in the story where the protagonist is questioning whether or not he should take his own life. Given how easy it is to interpret art your own way, I want to clarify: suicide/mental illness are not glamorous. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, then please refer to the resource below. I am including a URL address to a CDC website for general suicide prevention. The 24/7 crisis hotline number is 988. Please, don't follow the example of this story I'm about to publish. You can help people today. Right now.
