## Synopsis

When Death wants to unalive himself, Patches and Peel attempt to fulfill his wish to end it all while still having some fun of their own at World-O-Waste theme park.

## Plot

After witnessing the most horrifying and entertaining public display outside of the local G-Mart, Patches and Peel walk home discussing the shitting incident in full detail. They investigate a sound of sobbing nearby to learn that Death is having an existential crisis and cannot die but wants to. Patches and Peel attempt to talk him out of it, but Death persists. They take his plea for help as a 'W' and an opportunity to exploit his vulnerability.

Knowing that Death is an eternal nuisance, they bring him to an amusement park (World-O-Waste) and make sure he covers admission. As they ride rides and lull Death into believing his sick fantasy will actually play out, Patches and Peel finally get rid of him only for Death to reconstructed once again.

"I guess Death finally got his wish. A Death wish, if you will." - Patches

"There are so many things I wanna do today. I know this may come as a surprise to you, but listening to ways you want to kill yourself is not on that list." - Peel
