Sheol - Jeff Johnson
Kiss my hands.
After nearly two years of college existence, I can honestly say it has been the worst time of my life. The events of recent months have infected ancient wounds and opened new sores. Final truth regarding Melissa has been obtained, but the knowledge brings no comfort. The Fates have taken me far beyond the thirteenth step, and whatever foundation I rested upon has been completely eroded. I can no longer hold back this tide.
The time has come for me to once again retreat beyond the River Acheron. My passage has already been arranged, and Charon will arrive for me shortly. As C.S. Lewis once said, the only place one can be completely safe from the dangers of love outside of Heaven is Hell. Heaven lends me no ear, so I must fall back on what certainty I have left.
During the length of my stay on Acheron's far shore, all portals of communication with the world of the living shall be closed. I will only maintain contact at points vital for the continuation of my worthless life.
I'm sure most of you reading this are thinking I'm just an emo kid overreacting to life and indulging his flair for the dramatic. If such is the case, you may now rest easy knowing that you no longer have to pretend at friendship with such an individual. I'm removing my irritating presence and worthless abilities from your life.
I bid the rest of you a very fond farewell. Should you still desire my friendship if and when I return, please send word.

you will always be my brother.
I love you Peter, never forget that. You are a part of my family, and our house is always open, and my ear is always there.
Find peace, and find it soon, if you can.
You are not alone.
i wish you rest and rain and safety as you search for whatever it is you'll stumble upon...and i wish you to come back to us soon.
I Love you Peter.
