Diary of a Suicide

In a haunting letter addressed to Mr. B. Russell Herts of International Magazine, a young man reveals his intent to end his life. He shares a poignant record, hoping to ease the pain for those who may follow in his footsteps. After a well-dressed body is discovered off Manhattan Beach on September 28, 1913, the investigation uncovers a torn photograph of Strindberg and receipts for three registered letters, leading to Mr. Herts and friends in Toronto. It is there that the identity of the deceased, Wallace E. Baker, is confirmed. This gripping narrative explores the depths of despair and the search for understanding in the face of tragedy.
