Rated G through R.

Rating: R – for fleeting darkish content

Author's Notes: Please Read! This story has been brewing for a long time, and the holidays, and several of the fine stories I've read, finally brought it on. I did not realize, however, until my beta hit me over the head with a large brick, how close it was to jedirita's lovely Methods of Suicide. On rereading her story, I was appalled at the number of parallels I had unconsciously written in to my story. This story is not meant to be disrespectful of jedirita's story or anyone else's. I enjoyed her story immensely; this is simply a different take on similar circumstances from one who lives alone, and doesn't have a Christmas tree.

Thanks to snegurochka_lee for beating all the commas into submission, rearranging my odd sentence structure, and hitting me with said brick.
