Midnight Madness Part 13: "The Fatal Futile Fact"

by Ronald Edwards   Sep 8, 2010


Scampering on down the hall
like a dog whose found her bone.
But deep inside nothing has changed
for this cold hearted scheming crone.

Acapulco or Madrid,
maybe south of France.
I think Ill go to all of them
to do my victory dance.

Her cell phone played a melody,
a ringtone of her choice.
She knew the caller all to well
and responded to the voice.

Are you where your suppose to be?
It all went just as planned.
Go to the garage right away
Ive got his cash in hand.

They fell into each others arms,
anticipation in their veins.
Resembling escaped convicts
now free from bondage chains.

Lets take his Rolls convertible,
get in I want to drive.
This has to be my finest day
Ive never felt more alive.

They threw their bags in the back seat
got in and closed the doors.
Forgetting what Jekyll had done
while in the Marine Corp.

A note fell from the visor
gently landing in her lap.
She looked at him and he at her
off went the blasting cap.

The note read pure and simple,
If youre reading this, then Im dead.
I knew what car that you would take
but I have plans instead.

As you sat you activated
a substantial bomb.
C-4 was my specialty,
Ive included some napalm.

Jekyll may have lost war
but in his final act,
proved those who kill themselves are killed,
the fatal futile fact.

The End

    Simply amazing. The final end to it all was outstanding. I have enjoyed this story from start to finish. This last part was enjoyable by seeing that in the very end she still didn't get away with what she had done. Good job and keep writing.
