Beautifully tragic: warm, but smothering. Home-like, but woeing. The sight of the bed that swallows his hopes and dreams. Each day, I lose glimpse of his fight: his endless struggle of heart, mind and body and the 15 inch foam coffin that holds him hostage to the world inside his head. "You're worthless. You don't matter..." Screams uttered by the supposed "supporting team." Who the hell are they to you anyway? Flesh and blood mean little when his financial value is higher dead than alive. The greatest fear, sitting in the hearts of viewers (idle victims of the scene unfolding), is the penultimate event. The second to the end: for it is the one we will never see coming. The last "good" one before the worst one. The last night that the bed holds him tight before the bullet squeezes him tighter.
