Willed Accidents Happen
A short story of mystery and suspense
By Patricia A. Guthrie
Genre/Category: short
Psychiatrist Michael Ryan's life is spinning out of control. Cars accelerate as he crosses New York City streets. Subway trains try to suck him off the platform during rush hour. A car on the New York State Thruway veers out of control, and Michael nearly dives into a fifty foot ravine. He trips and falls down a long flight of concrete steps into the New York City Transit System into the arms of the beautiful Allie Andrews who insists these incidents are no mere accidents. Is Michael becoming accident prone, or is someone trying to hurl him into the hereafter? That's when, Michael's psychotic patient Jeffrey Ridgeway walks out of the hospital with a phony orderly and when his nightmares really begin. Willed Accidents Happen is a short story of mystery and suspense sprinkled with some humanity and humor and an ex-fiancee who doesn't want to marry him, but doesn't want anyone else to have him either.
