chicken

I believe I watched the suicide scene from The Royal Tenenbaums when I was around ten.

I remember my mother made a comment about the fact that Luke Wilson looked lovely without all the excess facial hair-

no-one expected the next development, and maybe that's why it's so devastating.

The image of blood pouring forth from both arms simultaneously became ingrained in my brain. I don't think I slept well for weeks, because I finally found that there is something more profound than cheap frights.
That there's something far more fearful and subtly-scary than the supernatural or psycho-killers.

The realisation that a person can actually inflict upon themselves a self-imposed fate;

To be so afraid of the unknown and the void of the future at one's feet that they would rather end it there than risk wandering onwards in their current state of agony.

That's the scariest discovery any child can ever make.
