It's The Man Behind The Trigger

THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE by Joshua Scribner is not a story to be read for entertainment purposes. This flash fiction is for thoughtful readers. Justin and his stressful thoughts are relatable to many of us on some level. His inner dialogue continuously him into the ground, focusing on non-existent failures and brushing off his success and strengths.

The ending is not necessarily a twist, just a dark surprise. Ironic choice by the author, considering we often refer to our depressing thoughts as our inner demons.

As always,
