My short story “Synthanasia” is nowavailable on Amazon. It’s in the Kindle store but you don’t need a
Kindle to read it: you can download a Kindle app for free on to your smart
phone. I plan to make this available in a print edition at some point as well.
I was inspired to write the short
story when I worked at a bank years ago and the manager of the bank was an
elderly woman. She and her husband had health problems: nothing unusual for
people of their age, but there was a span of a few weeks when they were alternately
in the hospital for different ailments. Between
the two of them maybe they have one healthy body, I thought to myself, and
the idea for the story was born. I rewrote this from a much-longer earlier
version.
Will this make good bedtime reading
or family reading? Probably not. But it’s a tidy take about the medical
industry, family responsibilities, and doing right by your own. Cover art by
the excellent AmyChace.
