Another just fun and solid story. For how I was talking about the last one avoiding death being a kids book, I really didn't expect the next one to be all about someone wanting to die.
Characterisation is on point here, I especially enjoyed

Donna crying at the second half of the music as well really works, reminds me of Planet of the Ood, and generally this kind of short story works great for a short, it's been written with the format in mind, and it doesn't talk down to it's audience like some of the earlier stories in the collection felt like they did.
