This compelling novel invites readers to confront the complexities of life, death and the choices that define us.
Unravel the Angel of Mercy Extract
My phone chimed, not my primary one, but the other phone. I got up from the laptop and walked over to the phone. This phone had only one purpose, and it was used very seldom for network or marketing advertisements. I had an email address for people to respond to my ad.
This email was in the format I prescribed:
Please help
Name: Annabel Nobody
Age: 27
Location: Durban
Reason: Too scared to do it myself.
I encouraged pseudonyms, so I didn’t mind the made-up surname. The rest, I said, needs to be true, because if I found out otherwise, that would end the transaction.
I liked to reply to these quickly. People were desperate, and a quick reply could sometimes save many people, including myself, from a mess.
I replied to Annabel’s email: Why do you want to kill yourself?
