Mr Suit

Archie works for Mr Suit, or at least he did until he was shot in the head after a botched kidnapping. Now, he's a victim of Locked-In Syndrome who relies on his wife Liza for everything and who can only communicate with her by blinking.

The time has come when Archie craves a dignified exit from this world. In a bid to help him, Liza visits with Mr Suit and arranges for a surprise euthanasia party. If this were an ordinary story, things might end there. Instead, the tale continues as a noir farce of sorts, a novella that delights in the dark humour of the situation as much as it explores the deeper issues relating to painless release.
