Killing By Mercy

By D.R. Rushing

Jenise Dara Morsey comes from a multi-generational family of mercy givers. She grew up assisting her mother in hospice care. So, it came to no one’s surprise that she would follow in her family’s footsteps and choose nursing to be her profession. As a young nurse in New Orleans, Jenise tries to navigate her life acclimating to becoming an independent woman, adjusting to a new career, a new love life, and hiding the secret of becoming a mercy killer.

During nursing school, Jenise had a vision from a patron saint and she believes that she has been chosen as an Angel of Mercy to patients that cross her care at her hospital. Her persona is that of a naïve and innocent young woman, but deep down, she is manipulative with a gift of being sly and discreet. With each mercy killing, she performs, she progressively gets deeper involved with the psyche of each her victims’ death. Some affect her in different ways than others, but she fully believes it is a calling from God to perform these acts, which she refers to as her “Little Ways.”

It all crescendos into her fourth overall mercy killing when she is accused of murder by a fellow nurse. Will she come out unscathed and continue her calling, or will she face punishment?
