“A small smile touched Death’s lips. ‘What are you afraid of?’
Jeremy wiped his eyes with his hand. ‘Pain, mostly.’
‘But not just pain, am I right? It’s never just a fear of pain that makes any of you hesitate.’
Hot anger burned at Jeremy’s core. ‘Stop lumping me in with other suicides. I’m not a number. I’m a person.’
‘Don’t bullshit yourself, kid. You’re a person if you don’t jump. If you do, you’re just a statistic.’ “
Zac Brewer, “Death and Twinkies”, Scary Out There.
