Эта история о том, как человек без цели получает логичный и достойный себя конец. Её рассказывает больная, отказавшаяся от лечения, согласная умереть, имея все шансы жить:"Если подумать, я ни разу не выдающаяся или что-то в этом роде.

Но вот так я позволила себе действовать смело и решительно, разорвать этот авторский шаблон повсеместного уныния".
