"You Ok?" I asked.
"Yes. I've been with him for months watching him leave me. The tears are shed, the heartbreak is over. Now he's free. No more pain. I hope God lets him be naked in Heaven."
They dressed and I notified the nurse that Jack was gone. She knew. He was on monitors and had DNR on his chart.
A week later I answered the phone and it was Bart. "I just wanted you to know, my sister died this morning. The funeral is day after tomorrow and if you show I'll kick your ass."
"Thank you for telling me about Elaine. I liked her. We completed our lives together at Marie's funeral. I won't be coming back to California."
"She left you some things."
"Can they be mailed?"
"Yes."
I gave him the address and he hung up. I wondered what Elaine would have left me, or us.
When the package arrived Megan, Jake and I opened it together. There was an envelope addressed in Marie's handwriting for each of us. Another envelope was addressed to me in Elaine's hand.
Each of us had a letter from Marie apologizing for how she had been so bad and wrong, ruining her own life and ours. The letter from Elaine also apologized and included a notice that I was the beneficiary of her life insurance.
Jake stayed and worked for SDP. He went to school and studied business. He dated Kim and got her to go to college too. The June they graduated they got married. Megan walked down the aisle as her matron of honor.
Sitting by myself near the end of the reception while Megan danced with Jake, I thought back and came to the conclusion that life is full of consequences. Some intended and some unintended. And, Life is good.

johnv56almost 8 years agoPlease keep up this kind of writing. Love the novellas.
jaycoxalmost 9 years agoVery well written, plausible, even inevitable given the wife's behavior
Bfreetorunabout 10 years agoThank you for writing this, Scorpio. This is a different type story and was very interesting. I thought it ended abruptly but you got all the necessary information so just forget the mild complaint. Being raised by religious fanatics I can certainly empathize with the recipients of Marie's craziness. This was certainly believable and brought bad memories to me although Mother was not quite that crazy. We discovered that she had multi-infarct dementia and the doctor said that these little strokes she had throughout her life led to her crazed treatment of her friends and relatives the last few years of her life. Thankfully she died calmly and sometimes realized where she was. Sorry for all the personal stuff, this story brought it out. Thank you again for writing this.
Anonymousover 10 years agonothing you could call erotic in it but the whole thing just rolled along at a good pace and showed the evolving love for all the people they came in to contact with and the building up of trust and relationships....a great story - loved it - it was very sad when his ex wife died and the uncle was just a total jerk.....when they visited the dying Jack in hospital and she then Elaine let him have one last suckle on their nipples was just so touching and tender....what a great family they ended up with at the resort....just how life should be...made me shed a few tears .....
Anonymousover 10 years agoIt is a story of courage. Well, maybe self-confidence is a better word. Either way, there are a lot of us who live by someone else's rules and it really doesn't matter whether the rules are religious, ideological or otherwise. They opress, but lots of us haven't got the courage to even admit the fact to ourselves. And that usualy results in our great loss.
I guess the erotic or rather sexual nature of this story is just designed to draw more attention or maybe also to say that we are the least confident in this field.
Yes, this is the message: live independently or you die.
Thank you, S44.
dbart113about 11 years agoI always want these kind of stories to go on and on. Even at 71 I can appreciate all you are trying ti say.
Anonymousover 11 years agobut only until I can get the system to accept my new e-mail address. I hated the story ('cause I wanted it to go on and on :) I am a lover of novels and trilogies. When a story is as well written a Scorpio's are, I hate for them to end. The character developement is always pretty much in place; the story line has been developed; the story is well begun and then it ends. Even though Scorpi's stories are great I am always left hanging.
I will (of course) read everything he writes because he is on my "A-list" of authors and is one of the best I have ever read on Lit. I don't like stories because I have a problem, not because he does.
Thanks again Scorp, great job.
p.s. I suspect the person who didn't like the way Jake was treated is a spoiled brat who wants his mommy and daddy to take care of him till he is 73 years old. He missed one of the main themes in the story. We ALL need to be responsible adults, and treating ANYBODY any differently enables/encourages them to remain babies.
JohnnyMaxover 11 years agoI think sometimes those anonymouses aren't reading the same story!
I found this story to be Scorpios usual standard. A well constructed storyline and excellent grammar and spelling. The sex is always loving and definitely fits the erotic label.
Oleguyover 11 years agoI am constantly surprised that the negative comments mostly come from the cowards who are not brave or courteous enough to identify themselves nor are they willing to demonstrate their own abilities, if any.
I personally found the above to be a very pleasant read with sufficient sex to be titillating but not quite as grossly crude as some of the submissions. Liked it
Anonymousalmost 12 years agoThis story was awful, i didn't like the way he treated his son. Nor did i like the sister acting like a bratty bitch to her brother. Why would you treat your son that way? The sister didnt earn anything by doing hard work it fell in her lap. But the son was treated like the red headed step child. Uhh literally pissed me off
Anonymousabout 12 years agoa few screwups but not bad and a pretty good end unlike your other story SISTERS OR NOT that has so many holes in the plot and a piss poor end to it. you added a second chapter here time to think about finishing S.O.N.
