Agony: A Short Story

By John Anson

What is agony? Is it an insufferable blind date? The losing end of a physical altercation? Being ignored by the people there to help you? Is agony physical, mental, or something much more?

This is a short story that at first was intended to stand alone, but I later decided to use it as the opening chapter of a larger work. The story, as the title suggests, explores the different sides to what people deem 'agony.'

As an aside, this is adapted from a true story; these events happened to me.

John Anson

You'll never meet anyone quite like John Anson. He has a way of shoving himself into the reluctant role of the protagonist, narrating with astute observation and unblemished honesty. His works are adapted from real events in his life, given a richness of detail and wry perspective that rarely disappoints. Intricately simple, Anson puts an unmistakable sardonic wit into his dark humor that will stay with you long after his closing sentences.
