Some people have asked to read the commencement address I delivered this morning to the 2013 graduates of Butler University. So here it is. My own commencement speaker, who shall remain nameless, began with a lame joke about how these speeches only come in two varieties: Short and bad.

Congratulations to all of you here today, and I do mean all of

I scream. Not out loud, of course. That would draw attention to my distress. You don't want anyone to worry about you, do you? Well, it's a little too late. They've seen what you've done to yourself, they've seen you recluse, you did the stupidest thing, and you told the people you care about your problems. Isn't that what you wanted though? Attention?

” one man calls him—who is used to fighting with other dogs and winning. He meets his match in Buck, however, who is as strong as Spitz and possesses more crafty. Spitz is an amoral being who fights for survival with all of his might, disregarding what is right and wrong. Mercedes is indulgent and kind, and her unreasonable demands slow her, Hal, and Charles on their journey and contribute to its disastrous ending.

I run upstairs and yell, “what do you want?” “Why are you talking to your mom about being suicidal? There’s no way that you are, I mean there isn’t anything to even be depressed about.” “Having to listen to you all day is bad enough. First you try to put my mom in jail for “not liking you”.

hands resembles the length of a novella and had a dark color theme on the front cover with sharp cursive as the title font. You open it gently with anticipation, wondering what this story could possibly be about and all of a sudden, the world around you begins to fade out. What is going on?! You think panicking.
