Will Parcel

it all goes so quick, today is the last day im going to see a
great friend and i never new it was coming.
i met a guy named Will Parcel here at tafe a few months
ago he is probably one of the most nicest guys ive ever met.
i was told that he is leaving tafe, i couldnt believe my ears,
i new something was up because just before our month holiday
he was never at tafe and i new something was wrong, so i soon
went and seen him at his place and asked "are you leaving"
he replied "yer" so he said " lets go play pool and ill tell you
whats going on". so we went and had three games of pool
as he filled me in with shocking news that he is quiting
technical production because an illness he suffers, he couldnt
quite explain it. i dont want to put a say in and make it seem worse
but in the areas of skitsafrenia. i asked what the disadvatage
about it all? he said well.... suicidal. i said your not thinking
bout killing yourself are you? he paused for atleast 7 seconds
and said " well no, the only reason people kil them selves is
because they hear voices saying kill them selves and other
stupid reasons" i sat there thinking god i hope he doesnt
do that. we finished our games of pool and went to my flat he
wrote down his email address and said thanks for everything,
i hugged him and that was it. will i ever see him again?
