Chapter 33

Cold steel

Slumped in the little tree fort chair, Jim imagined his coworkers shaking their heads and rolling their eyes every time his name was mentioned. His struggles with the bottle were well known and so was his diminishing caseload. After his third drunk driving arrest he had managed to escape jail time on a technicality and kept his job only by promising the partners that he would never drink again. As he sat in the little fort he pictured men in coveralls lugging boxes from his office to some unused closet.

God he needed a drink.

Jim picked up the gun and put the barrel in his mouth. He released the safety and maneuvered his thumb onto the trigger. He closed his eyes and felt the barrel’s cold steel against the roof of his mouth. Before he pulled the trigger, he heard a car coming up the driveway.
