Today, I was looking for an old file from a past work life. I stumbled upon a #LOR that I wrote for my freshman college roommate in 2013.

A few years afterwards, he called me with a great desperation in his voice. I asked that he give me a least an hour to travel there. He agreed. Upon arrival, I entered a screened porch and saw an old college professor talking to him. On the table was a sawed-off double barreled #shotgun, #beer, & #cigarettes.

He was sweating profusely & murmuring that he had nothing to live for anymore.
