    Donald H Sullivan

    I'm a native Floridian, retired from the US Army, I started writing in the army, mostly training and tech manuals. Boring stuff, but it whetted my interest in writing. I've written sci-fi, thrillers, mysteries, humor, fantasies, horror, and more. I'm now living in NC. While in the army, I served in air defense artillery, military intelligence, and psychological operations. I also worked in Federal Civil Service as a quality assurance specialist, ammunition surveillance. I love writing, reading, most kinds of music, and animals--especially dogs.

      Raw Deal

      April Baxter could think of no easier way to commit suicide. An overdose of sleeping pills and she would just drift off to sleep and never wake up.  No discomfort.  No pain.  No more worries about the mess she had made of her life in the short year since graduating from high school.

      She could take her time; there was no hurry.  Her father, an army master sergeant, had a month remaining on an unaccompanied overseas tour.  Her mother was visiting Aunt Gale in Florida and would be gone for the next two days.

      On her way home from work, April had stopped at the drug store and bought the sleeping pills.  After writing a  note, she would be ready.  She found a legal pad, sat down at the kitchen table, and began writing.

      Mom and Dad,

      When you read this, I’ll be gone.  I want you both to

      know that I love you with all my heart.  But I have

      lied and brought shame to you.  I broke my promise.

      I’m pregnant.  It was Benny Lorenzo,  assistant

      manager at The Red Bee.  He said he was divorcing

      his wife, but he has ignored me since learning I’m

      pregnant.

      April stopped writing.  Her eyes stung and tears were rolling down her cheeks.  No--she could not do it.  And deep inside, she knew from the beginning that she could not do it.  What had she been thinking?

      "Sometimes life hands you a
