‘My tiger is now fast asleep
On his back and dreaming deep.
When the fire makes him hot,
He turns to warm whatever's not.
Propped against him on the rug,
I give my friend a gentle hug.
Tomorrow's what I'm waiting for,
But I can wait a little more.’

Excert from Calvin&Hobbes, Christmas Eve

A body floats in the middle of the Ocean
It floats adrift, destiny uncertain
The body of a once wealthy man
Who decided he didn't like living
For his last journey he chose a boat
Not just any, the biggest one
And in a dark, moonless night
He decided to end his life
He went to the back of the ship
No one was there, all was quiet
He climbed the rail, made his last pray
And then jumped into the darkness...
No one saw him...
No one missed him...
Why has he jumped?Well...
Some people say he was broke
Some people say he killed someone
But the truth is nothing like that
He lacked something in his life
And he didn't know what it was
He thought it was death, so he decided to try
But in his last breath he cried...
"It was love!"
