Death of a Man
“Please! Have a heart!”A heart. Now that’s a luxury I haven’t had for a long time. Not since Don Raciti. Old bastard was like a father to me.
“I- I don’t want to die…”
But I wasn’t ‘bout to go down with him just ‘cause of pride. …Guess others wouldn’t call it that.
“I don’t want to die!”
Doesn’t matter. It’s too late now. I traded my soul for the devil’s luck long ago. Surviving, but not living.
“I DON’T WANT TO DIE!!”
Neither do I. But what choice is there in this godfucked world? …Damn it all.
“ . . . ”
I’m sorry.
