Help"...especially compared to Lazarus."
in reply to a message by Echo
First I snorted a bit to stifle a laugh, because Lazarus brings to mind a particularly entertaining passage from the book Johnny Got His Gun.
Then I thought almost exactly what you just wrote. The mirth broke down into denial, then I got into bargaining. Anything but Lazarus, I thought. It's one of those names for me that makes the other options really look desirable.

It’s all the same. What the hell good to you
is your native land after you’re dead? Whose
native land is it after you’re dead?
