Very economical word choices here, just as the competition calls for. you mange to infuse some quiet emotion into the short write.
Nice one

Well, at least you're done making choices. From here on out they'll all be made for you. Very well done to tell a story of a lifetime of regret in only sixty words. Sounds like your character needed to sit down and rethink his choices each time. It's interesting how sometimes bad choices can fall one right after another, creating an avalanche of consequences.
Good story.

Comment from Judy Couch
Yes, it would be a bad choice. There seem to be a lot of people who consistently make bad choices. Most of them don't pull the trigger though.

Yes, that would be the worse choice of all. Life isn't over till it's over. This short essay details the lost path that leads to despair.

Comment from forestport12
This is an important subject one I'm glad you touched on. I've wondered why so many psychics run into suicide ghost? Being stuck in the same place, unable to leave. Could be the mother of all ironies. Since suicide is a form of escape. I like what you did with this to raise awareness.

That's right life is all about choices and knowing when to take a risk.
Subsequently, the urges of knowledge and understanding of what you are doing may help the cause in making that horrific decision.LOL

Great! There are some who seem destined to be losers all the way. I like the sardonic humour of this. Reminds me of some of the detective stories of yesteryear!
