And He Pulls the Trigger

"I could kill you right now.  Do you realize that?"

"Yes, I do."

"And, you're not afraid?  I have the muzzle of a forty-five pointed directly at your left temple, the clip is full, and you're on your knees in your bedroom--and you're not afraid?"

"Nope."

"Then why is it you cry?  Why are there tears trailing down your cheeks?"

"Because I've lost all hope for everything, and tonight, I'm really going to do it."
