Intent
Post-traumatic stress and obsessive-compulsive disorder never play well together, but when locked inside a man with nothing left to lose, the results are often catastrophic.
Travis Higgins is a man on his way down. He can't sleep. He hasn't eaten in forty-eight hours and hasn't spoken a word to another human being in weeks.
Twelve months ago the voices in his head began to scream, and tonight, he's planning to finally put them to rest.
"Nine-one-one operator. What is your emergency?"
"My name is Travis Higgins. In exactly six minutes, I am going to murder the man who lives at nineteen-thirty-seven east Second Street."

I think I would have enjoyed this more if I had read the description/blurb. As it was, I had no idea what was happening.

Good short story
I liked the story because I had no clue what was what till the end. Very sad. Well written. Great job!

Intent by Jeff Olah was a very short story but very poignant. I am once again impressed.
