The parents of Timothy McSteenwahl awoke this morning to tragedy: their son was found dead on top of his bed. An apparent suicide.
Resting in the most delicate of positions atop Timothy's peaceful corpse was a single slip of paper. It was folded neatly and intentionally, with utmost care. Not only that, but this precarious sheet had been regally sealed with what appeared to be a wax seal of his family's coat of arms.
Timothy's mother had approached the dead boy in great trepidation. Her hand shook violently as she reached for the slip of paper. The mother and father looked at each other anxiously as they held the thing up-- knowing that the note probably contained a wonderment of angst and gruesome detail as to why their precious son would take his own life.
The parents tenderly pried off the wax seal and brushed away all remnants of it. Gingerly, they pulled the paper open to reveal a single, terrible, amalgam of words that so poignantly epitomized the tragedy and anger of the boy's life:
"Rage Quit!"
