He was a quiet man, married but looking truly a loner in a marriage that obviously lacked love and affection. As a husband, he was hard working and lived more for the children than for anything else in that marriage. He expected his charming wife to love him back for his great commitment to her and to the family. Sadly, relationships are usually defined on very unique terms, and this poor man just thought life was getting so much of a waste of time and so he wrote this suicide note before he took his life by strangulation in his living room:

I know you did not expect this after the wonderful ride we had together      yesterday to the countryside. I did not have the strength to tell you I had this big plan on my mind. I knew you would not approve of it. I had always wanted to see the beautiful you a little longer, yet as you are going to learn from this note, I have decided that I take this early flight.

The world is a big round ball where the game of life is won and lost.  I lost all my games in the arena of life.  Every move I made was a wrong one. There were times when I wanted to blame someone for my predicament, but I came to this wise conclusion that the choices and dreams in life, which I went after were empty endeavors, hence if there was anybody to blame or even kill, it was myself.

I may be wrong about this, but without love, not even tons of money can bring blueness  to the ever-perplexing angles to this game of staying alive. Often, I have wished I had died young and innocent. But going by the phenomenal flaws in my life, I couldn’t help taking this unmanly resolve to fly away in this black Spaceship where pretty smiling crews are ushering me away with the kind of love that is certainly not of this world.

I am packed up, but I have a photo of you in my breast pocket as I fly this endless journey. If this world proved so friendless for the many years I roamed it, my heart knows at least that one person cared to care about me and that one person was you.

I am sorry about this flight, but if you loved me as much as you made me believe, then please let me go. I will always look down to planet earth as my flight to the endless    destination takes me higher.  However far I will go, you will always be the reason for which my thoughts will bring me down yonder to the blue planet that gave me no love.  Don’t cry for me because am happier here with the spaceship crew dressed in black. When I finally get home to the shores of my new world, black horses will  be on standby for me. I also hope my Mama, papa and childhood crush Nancy will be there never to make me pine again.

He made the very act of strangulation very spectacular. He was dressed in a white suit and a black shirt with a white tie and cap. Lagal was an entirely strange person hardly known to his family let alone the neighbors. She must have been the only person in this world who was willing to sail with him in a sea where love and care had simply vanished. From the tone of his letter, I still have this feeling in me that some deaths are relieving. In his letter, the deceased appeared determined to depart and his imagination of the world he was headed to made dying inevitable because this world was completely not his home. May he find bliss.
