Force Quit
When a specific thought, worry, or emotion keeps looping, you intentionally stop feeding it.

Force Quit is about stopping a loop that keeps running on its own. Nathan Weiser's mind had been running the same loop for years — grief, guilt, nightmares, worst-case scenarios — and he couldn't stop it. The drinking was an attempt to manually force-quit those thoughts, which didn't work. What finally interrupted the loop wasn't a decision but a phone call. The heartbeat broke the pattern that had been running continuously since Mary's death in 2016.
