Four: A Short Story

by Cliff Bumgardner

Sarah Pausch has a hobby, even though her doctor would prefer she didn't refer to it as such. Every day, in each new room or setting she finds herself, Sarah likes to count the many ways she could kill herself with what's around. There are twelve in the kitchen, three in the doctor's office, four in her car--the methods are almost endless, and always brutal. Forced to confront the cause behind her "hobby" and the memories it brings, Sarah slips back to a time she wishes she could forget, to the loved one she failed to protect, and the horrible blackness that followed. It's a journey into the horrifying recesses of the mind in this award-winning short story from the author of "DECON."
