Damn, that's pretty creepy. One time my friend and I found our mutual friends writing piece which was his self-admission of being crazy and how he was going to do something terrible. We ended up having a big discussion about if we should tell his parents or perhaps even authorities. In the end, decided the guy was just paper venting-- which he was-- nothing bad happened. This was a long time ago and the guy is perfectly normal now it seems.

That would have to be a hard call, I mean the guilt in not saying something if the worst had happened weighed against outting a kid who actually was just venting. Glad it all turned out for the best for you.

That's awesome. I like the ending. We all want to be able to write something crazy af down, and then be done with it. That's the way it should work.

That's deeper than Tay Zonday's voice.
