| Goodbye world. No one likes me, so I may as well just end it all. By the time you read this note, I will be gone. Probably to hell knowing all the shitty things I've done. Leaving you behind, mum and dad, I know will make you upset, but it is really the only way out. With debts mounting up, my house being re-posessed, Carol leaving me, Mike dying of a heroin overdose, being attacked four times, and losing my job all within the space of a month, this life has become too much for me. Please try and live your lives as normal as possible. Remember I will always love you, 'mummy and daddy'. Unfortunately I see no way out of this fucking situation. I have taken two bottles of paracetamol washed down with a bottle of vodka, and can feel my body shaking now. Look after little Robert for me. See you in the next life. | Gud-bai ouirld.
