Alone on the couch with a needle in your arm filled with an unexpected amount of fentanyl given to you by some dude saying this is some good shit after your regular dealers, Johnson & Johnson, cut off your supply after spending unfathomable amounts of money on making you dependent on their product.
or
Alone in your car in a hospital parking lot with a hole in your head and the gun bought as self defense to keep your kids safe in your limp right hand after not seeking help for years due to the fear of being labeled a pussy, all in order to save those same kids the trauma of finding you in the garage or basement and causing the same irreparable harm you yourself endured a lifetime of.
or
Folded up in a suitcase in your own house with two gunshots to the back of your head shortly after making information pointing to the corruption and unspeakable crimes of the wealthy few connected to the governance of this country public, after which the coroner labels your untimely death a possible suicide.
or
In an unexpected diabetic shock at your kids soccer practice because you had to start rationing your insulin after premiums got too expensive so you had to downgrade your insurance to be able to get semi-decent coverage for the whole family all while yelling socialism every time someone brings up universal healthcare.
or
At home in bed with a formally eradicated, or otherwise perfectly curable, disease while your parents are frantically asking for help in some online pseudoscience forum instead of calling a fucking doctor because modern medicine can’t be trusted so instead of turning 6 next week you will be fitted for a casket and a permanent biohazard suit as your parents forever will be grateful that at least you didn’t die with autism or any other potentially made up side effect of vaccines.
or
At your school, office, church or local grocery store going through your daily grind when someone who should have been denied access to firearms due to frequent online threats of violence and obvious signs of psychological instability decides to make you just another statistic in a never ending cycle of hatred fueled by the men and women in charge in order to protect our rights.
