what does the survivor do with a suicide note? do they keep it? I'd rip it to shreds right after reading it, in a fit of rage. upset that someone can be so selfish.

>> No.7919263

Do you think he hanged himself while wearing the bandana?

>> No.7919277

>>7919258
He was awkward and dead inside long before he strangled.
He probably jizzed in his pants when he strangled though. It is called "angel lust" and is common to men who die this way. If the semen falls to the ground, a mandrake plant grows in that location. Witches used to hang around gallows to gather this plant to use them in their love potions. This means there could possibly be a David Foster Wallace mandrake plant somewhere in the vicinity where he killed himself. This plant would naturally have more than ordinary powers and would be highly valuable.

>In one superstition, people who pull up this root will be condemned to hell, and the mandrake root would scream as it was pulled from the ground, killing anyone who heard it.

It was probably pretty short and standard with some quote or a few. Maybe like a sad joke too. I wouldnt even be that surprised if he didn't leave a note

>> No.7921182

I wonder if it was planned or just spur of the moment, I'm leaning towards the latter.

Cock is one of my favorite tastes. Not only that, but balls smell amazing. It makes me go a little crazy on it to be honest. Like, I cannot get it far enough down my throat to be satisfied. I’m only satisfied when I feel those intense, powerful, salty, hot pumps of cum down my throat. When I sit back on my heels, look up at you with cum all over my mouth and slobber running down my neck, hair all fucked up and wipe my mouth with the back of my arm and ask you if I did a good job and you cannot even speak because I’ve drained all of your energy out the tip of your dick….. That’s when I’m satisfied.

It probably describes or at least alludes to psychic pain on the order of what's described in "Good Old Neon", plus some of the usual about how people who were close to him shouldn't blame themselves and maybe even specifically blaming the medications and his own choice to go on and off of them.

Honestly, just read Good Old Neon if you're curious about what he probably expressed some of in that note.
