Suggestion:
Bottom roll of the parchment...
“quaking in fear in a dark, lonely house, well...that isn’t the way I want to go out.”

friendly amendment...
“quaking in fear in a dark, lonely house, well...that ain’t the way I plan to go out.”
“never been a follow the leader guy, well... this sure is a good day to die”
None of us knows how that goes inside a person at the end. When it comes, I hope I can face it with courage. I may cry like a baby and quail in fear, renouncing every thing I now believe.
But that is how I feel right now...at the bottom roll of that parchment.
