Tom's 2nd Suicide

“I wrote this script to make myself deal with what was the most difficult and best-kept secret about myself: my lifelong struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts. Instead of actually going through with it, I turned to writing, trying to grasp any other way I could find to help get me past it instead of giving up. Every time I felt that I was sinking into these extreme low points, there was still something holding me back. Sometimes it was the "technicality" of it, sometimes it was an occasional random stranger I crossed paths with, and sometimes it was a genuine glimpse of hope. This is where we meet Tom, who is hopeless and wants to end his life, but is holding on to any possible excuse not to go through with it. This script is about that, and it is about the attempt to find humor in it all.”
