The Freeing of Jonathon Mark

'WINNER OF AN IPPY AWARD FOR BEST FICTION'

Jonathon is a Taker, some type of modern day psych in the growing industry of modern grief. Takers treat people for all that ails them just by listening. In session, a Taker doesn't speak. A Taker doesn't move. A Taker doesn't even blink. A Taker takes till their patients have got no more negativity to give.

A chance meeting throws a new patient into Jonathon's life. A girl whose carefree lightness of being is in complete contrast to the average patient. She makes Jonathon realise he can no longer refuse to deal with how his job makes him sick, nor his own destructive vice.

Murder is his only way out, an action that leads him towards his own death and beyond. It is a path he hopes will lead him to his freedom.
