Well - it's one of those questions ... every narrative in my head seems to have a life of its own. Sometimes it feels like possession. I have a story stuck in my head right now ... not sure what to do. But I have started writing again. The new job is going ok, and ok is pretty damn good.
You can imagine the ending any number of ways - suicide seems like one choice, but maybe he figures out a way to get out of there ... perhaps there's another story ...
The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys.
Job 42:12 NIV
Believe it or not, I actually started a new job today ... and yes, my birthday was last Saturday. Thanks!
Hey, I finally finished your book... (episode 36) I loved it!
The ending though... WHAT DID HE DO?
Did he kill himself, did he go the macho way? Or do I just have to wonder for the rest of my life?

Perhaps. : )
I think it makes sense, sometimes, to leave something open - especially when it's a short story or novella.
Yea, I agree with you. Leave it to the reader to make what he/she will of the ending. Thanks for sharing Episode 36 with me.
Did you read the PDF or off of AMAZON?
And also, if you liked "Episode 36", I think you might really like this (but it might not have enough editing): https://steemit.com/writing/@codemonkeyindy/16-points-of-adjustment-a-short-novel

Thank you. I will check it out.
Still kind of in a dark place, but not as bad as 2 months ago ... that's for sure.
How was your first day?
Today is my first day - and it's a little daunting, but the people seem nice.
I am glad it's better. Give it time then... maybe it will get better.

I will just leave this here.Be strong.
I'm doing better. And thanks for being supportive. I hope to have 14,000 donkeys ... (one day)
