Devil on Your Back
by Max Henry
When all you have left is choice, how do you ensure you make the right one?I thought that losing my family was the linchpin to my suffering; the thing which would forever hold my head under the dark waters of regret.But I was wrong … so wrong.What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, and what threatens us only serves to feed the beast.My boy is in trouble, and it’s time this father stood up for what he should have a long time ago.Only, after years of believing I deserved to spend my days alone, punishing myself for the mistakes I made, I’ve finally found the truth—her.When she needs me as much as my son, how will I decide which path to take? Will I be doomed to forever make the wrong choice?And will I, once again, lose everything I love and drown in my regret?
