The Novel Part 9

****************************TRIGGER WARNING*************************

Character takes his own life in one scene

Part 1  /  Part 2  /  Part 3  /  Part 4  /  Part 5  /  Part 6  / Part 7 / Part 8

I laid in bed and bed and thought about my character in my novel.  He was only exonerated after he killed himself.  I tossed and turned as I considered it with Aunt Tilly’s laugh haunting me. Should I?  No, no no!  I couldn’t, this will all go away.  It had to.  Maybe there was some way I could make it up to Aunt Tilly.  I thought back as to why I accused Aunt Tilly all those years ago.  I had hated her.  I found her annoying and didn’t want her around any longer.  When I think now of my reasonings, they sound ridiculous for taking away someone’s freedom and destroying their reputation.  But I had the mind of child.  There were also rumor’s about Aunt Tilly, that she had molested some neighborhood child but it was just a rumor.  In my head, I thought I was doing the right thing.  I could hear the relentless ticking of the clock on the wall and felt like my time was running out.

I eventually drifted off to sleep where I had a horrific nightmare about what they do to child molesters in prison.  I woke up in a cold sweat.  “I can’t do this,” I whispered. I walked slowly to my gun cabinet and pulled out a revolver and loaded it with bullets.  I walked back to the bedroom and sat on my bed for a long time just staring at the gun.  I began to sob.  Should I leave a note?  I took a pad and pen from my desk and wrote simply…

Aunt Tilly was innocent and so I am.

Russell

I put the pad and pen next to me.  I took the revolver, pointed it at my head and fired.
