Description:

I place the barrel of the handgun in my mouth. I have lost everything and there's no real point in going on. Karma is a bitch. Karma doesn't care that I wanted to change my ways. Karma doesn't believe in good intentions. I have failed miserably at being good. I couldn't even get that right. I'm the same nasty piece of work that I've always been, except now I can't be happy with it. What has been felt cannot be unfelt. Even having saved the world doesn't make me feel good about myself. Perhaps it's something you get habituated to; each new world-saving moment has to be bigger and better than the last to give you that same dopamine and serotonin kick. Maybe heroes are just junkies. I've killed everything in this life worth living for, so the only thing left to do is kill Baxter. They say suicide is a selfish, egotistical thing to do. It suits me perfectly. It all seems so clear now. This is going to be great. The steely taste of the gun. The explosion. The oblivion. I can't wait. [...]
