The Last of Jake

Recommended Posts

Jake was dying. His wife, Becky, was maintaining a candlelight vigil by his side. She held his

fragile hand, tears running down her face. Her praying roused him from his slumber. He looked

up and his pale lips began to move slightly. "My darling Becky," he whispered. "Hush, my

love," she said. "Rest. Shhh, don't talk."

In his tired voice, "I have something I must confess to you."

"There's nothing to confess," replied the weeping Becky. "Everything's all right, just go to sleep."

"No, no. I must die in peace, Becky. I...I cheated on you!"

"I know," Becky whispered as she softly stroked his forehead. "Just let the poison work".
