Fat Boy's Last Meal

By Craig J. Heimbuch

"Choose the future. Choose hope. Choose to live in spite of what has already happened. Choose to move forward and to let a little air in every day. Because it won't all be perfect. It won't be all sunshine and ice cream, but some of it will be... And you'll be glad for the moments that are."Every day nearly 5,000 American students attempt to take their own lives. "Fat Boy's Last Meal" is a first-person look into the mind of high school senior James 'Fat Boy' Patterson's on the night he decided to take his. He shares his deepest thoughts and fears, the love, loss, abuse and bullying that lead him to that point in a raw note for the people he would leave behind while he gorges himself on a last meal of snack cakes, chips and soda in an attempt to fill a hole that has been his constant companion and his greatest enemy through most of his life. People who read Jay Asher's '13 Reasons Why' will recognize the feeling of desperation and a complete lack of hope James is feeling in the final moments of his life. But will he go through with his plan? Or will he be like thousands of other students in the country who live with the darkness from which they cannot find and escape?
