In addition to the P-38, there are four gifts, one for each of my friends. I want to say good-bye to them properly. I want to give them each something to remember me by. To let them know I really cared about them and I m sorry I couldn t be more than I was--that I couldn t stick around--and that what s going to happen today isn t their fault.
Today is Leonard Peacock s birthday. It is also the day he will kill his former best friend, and then himself, with his grandfather s P-38 pistol. Maybe one day he ll believe that being different is okay, important even. But not today.
