The massive machine bore down on them. Nearly fourteen feet long and six wide, it seemed to completely fill the bridge. Almost a ton and a half of wood, glass, rubber, brass and steel, a monster, roaring and trumpeting as it approached its kill, the great shining black fender arches framing its huge goggling eyes. The thrusting tusks of its sprung-leaf suspension threatened to skewer any soft flesh and young bone that lay in its path. Black smoke billowed from its rear. Sparks spat from behind its grille. No dragon of ancient legend could have seemed more terrifying or more deadly.

The terrifying presence of a massive machine looms over the scene, with its colossal dimensions nearly dominating the bridge. Its substantial weight, composed of various materials, adds to its threatening demeanor as it advances aggressively, reminiscent of a monstrous predator preparing to strike. The striking black fenders and large, forward-facing eyes give it a formidable appearance, while its robust suspension system enhances its lethal potential, ready to inflict damage on anything in its way.

This machine, spewing black smoke and ejecting sparks from its grille, embodies a modern-day dragon with a fierce and intimidating energy. Its design and movement evoke fear, as it approaches with the ferocity and intent of a mythical beast from ancient tales. The imagery painted here emphasizes not only its size but also its ability to wreak havoc, making it a truly fearsome entity that transcends mere machinery.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.

I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
