"Suicide Watch" by Andy Henion in Shotgun Honey

After a hot day throwing trash I report to county lockup. Sun-whipped and salty, I’m ready for some hours of self-reflection but instead get groaning and muttering from the adjoining cell. It comes from a man with a pencil neck and eyes the color of fresh concrete. Read story here.

This is one in a series of stories about the Angry Suburban Guy, who goes from doting husband and father to homeless convict to accidental hitman. He's as uncompromising as they come but also, well, rather unlucky. Story still in the works, but read the first installment here, in Thieves Jargon.
