Fade to Black 2003.
'Oh Dear Lord God?'
'What hath happened to me?'
'First lost my only son and then what would appear?'
'Lost the only wife in the same exact Damned year!'
...
'Everything seems to me?'
'Definitely as can be!'
'As death Surrounds me?'
'But why?'
'Why must I Eternally cry?'
'Why must I need to die?'
No reply?
...
'Symbols of Calamity blare in my head!'
'Cloaked in the Darkness?'
'Alive still and not dead?'
'But why Lord how much more suffering instead?'
'Still need to be dead!'
'As, Dispelled Moments well deep within.'
Punctured lungs!'
'This is Sin!'
...
'Grasping claws Pierce and teas my swollen Heart!'
'Dear Lord God above!'
'Where is the Love?'
'Is this the way?'
'Each and every waking day?'
'There doesn't seem to be much left in Me?'
"To *Be?"

It's all over now!
(Once and for all!)
No longer will I be subjected to mourning awakenings of Misery!
Miss Payne?
Go away!
Come Again, some other Gloomy Day!
...
Yes, I will Be?
Yes, I will Be More?
Yes, I will Be More than Me?
Because Doctor Markston tells me so!
...
So away I shall go!
Yes, on a Hope and a Prayer?
Wish me luck?
Wish you were there?
Do you even care?
Three weeks later...
...
'Ricky we will be taking off those nasty and bloodthirsty bandages now!'
'And, It appears initially; that your plastic surgery went incredibly well!'
'We repaired your left ear lobe that your ex Nancy almost bit off!'
'You're right eye?'
'Well let's just say.'
'Your deceased wife that blinded you!'
'She won't be crying!'
...
'Your lower and ripped off lip?'
'Well that prostitute in AC?'
'She'll be kissing your ass now because of me!'
'And, Ricky?'
'Yes, Doctor Markston?'
'Last but not in the least?'
'You're broken and baseball
SHATTERED LOUISVILLE Nose?'
'Well, let's just say.'
'It's as Sweet as a *Rose!'
