He only needs four and a half pounds of pressure to end it.
Bobby sits alone in a dark, filthy kitchen, a revolver in his hand and a lifetime of regret pressing down on him. His marriage is shattered. His career is slipping away. And the weight of everything he's done, and failed to do-has become too much to carry.
Tonight, he's made a decision.
But he's not alone.
A woman waits in the shadows, patient and certain. She offers him peace. An end to the pain. A way out.
Then another voice breaks through.
A voice he knows.
A friend he buried ten years ago.
Pulled from the edge of death, Bobby is forced to confront the moments that defined him, the love he's forgotten, the choices that haunt him, and the future he's about to erase.
Because death isn't the only thing waiting for him.
And some choices don't just end a life...
They echo through the ones left behind.
Paint It Black is a dark, psychological novelette about trauma, guilt, and the fight to keep going when everything inside you says to stop.
