Way Ward
Chapter Seven
-------------------------------------------------
\" ... And thats how it happened , David . That\'s exactly how it happened . I mean she was in my arms one minute , and the next ... \"
Grant stop speaking , he wanted to treasure this moment . His nostrils flared , soaking in all of the stench and beauty of the city . He could smell the cherry blossom\'s in bloom , and the fresh scent of urine and vomit , all in one . Pleasure and pain mixed . That\'s usually how it went . Standing there with David made Grant remember the old times , the better times . When he wasn\'t a killer , when he wasn\'t evil . But everything was different now . Things change especially people . Grant had found that out the hard way . The wind blew Grant\'s long black hair askew , and sent a new waft of lovely piss and flowers . Some where in the distance a siren wailed . Grant continued to speak , while David remained silent . Ah , the sound of silence . It was wonderful . David had alway talked too much . But , not now . Now he just listened to Grant .
\" ...second she was gone , I let her go David . Just like you told me to ... I let her go . \"
Grant let one hand drift into his coat pocket . He pulled out a letter , and brief letter , that was yellowed with age , and wrinkled with numerous re-readings . Grant\'s voice cracked a little while he read , obviously Trying to display some emotion .
\" Dear Grant , I hope this letter finds you . I\'m too sure how reliable the prison system\'s mail service is . But if this does find you , I want you to know from a friend first . It\'s been over nine years , and you still have eleven to go ... She have moved on Grant . She found someone else . The state says she doesn\'t need divorce papers because of your condition . I wanted to be the first to tell you . Just let her go . \"
Grant stopped reading and looked directly into the tear filled eyes of his one time best friend . Those cobalt blue eyes . Grant had once loved that man , he loved him like a brother . With a glass shard inhale Grant spat out words like razorblades spinning off his tongue .
\" She was my wife ! \"
David , shaking and wriggling tried to speak , but only managed to choke on something warm and liquid that had been filling his mouth for the last ten minutes . A sick wet choking sound echoed in the concrete jungle .
\" What\'s the matter ! Grant\'s got your tongue ! \"
Grant threw a cold limp piece of flesh at David\'s face . He had been squeezing it so tight , in his fist , that the pink flesh had turned white .
\" Careful David , you wouldn\'t want to fall ! \"
Grant looked down the side of the twenty story high rise , and the tiny crushed body of an ant that used to be his wife .
The street was filled with people and police were just arriving . Oh , they were coming in droves . Everyone knew the wife of Grant Baker , or the wife of David Johnathan either or . Grant offered to David one final smile , before he pushed him off the ledge , just like he had done to Rachel ... His body fell the twenty stories to land directly on her\'s , turning both into a fraction of what they once were . Grant turned on the cold cement of the flat roof top , and walked to the stairwell , with the scent of Cherry Blossoms in his nostrils... Letting the hard steal slap of the door signal his escape .
... Absolution
