I would Heart I've a pretty good imagination... and I know from experience that what hurts isn't that something is there: but that it either can't be removed without causing more damage or takes a great deal of work to remove it. Stab wound? Not a problem for a few seconds. Easily removed? No. Earthquake toppling house over. Not a problem for a while. Easily fixed? No.

So a temporary hell wouldn't be much of a transition from this (and yes, I could amuse myself even in hell). It's experiencing the permanent that would be particularly unpleasant. Oblivion, on the other hand, is peace.

And also because Larry is dead, and all realms save this overrun...

As to the last, I was making fun of my own trouble sleeping and staying asleep Heart
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
