Fork in the Heart: A Short Story

A self-absorbed shrink is haunted by a childhood crime.

(Note: "Fork in the Heart" is a short story. It is also available in the author's 10-story collection, Daggyland #2.)

Some kids shoplift from strangers. Others just boost from the ones they love.

When he was just a kid, Toby committed a single act that sentenced him to a life of therapy.

Every day, inside four tight walls, he relives his crime again and again.

Not with a shrink. It's worse than that: he is the shrink.

Like Cheever gone from bad to worse, crime writer D'Agnese gives us a troubling story of sins that go unpunished but not unforgotten.
