I've read the introduction, guessed it will end in tragedy, skimmed fast through the article, jumped in the end and confirmed it ended in tragedy and saved myself from ruining my mood from reading something depressing.
Funny, I always enjoy reading anything dark/morbid/depressing. Tends to have the opposite effect of putting a pep in my step - all those things add flavour and texture to life and make me appreciate being alive.

That's very uncharitable reading.
What's charitable one?
They replied to you already. I wish you had more empathy.
Exactly that. Gives me a kick. Do stuff now. Don't wait.
You only read the depressing bits ;)
