Attempted Suicide – What a comic to write after months of not writing any! Brump’s attempt to end tortuous existence, to take control of life by self-extinction. In a moment of great strength, or is it weakness, seppuku is pursued. It is an unsuccessful attempt. The Nihileaf has no way to commit hari-kari! Is it a tragedy that Brump can’t commit suicide or rather that Brump must continue to live in a world, an existence, that is unwanted? Brump’s nature prevents carrying out the act, or even the attempt. Yet one can also have a limitation of mind, a mental block prohibiting suicide. Or perhaps even the thought of it. Our nature, molded by environment, defines one’s predisposition to suicide. That what gives existence also defines that existence. So the Nihileaf floats on. – Zachary
