Dead?!
“That was probably the worst idea you’ve ever had… and yet it worked,” Jackson sighs looking down and the car dangling from the cliff edge.
“Yeah… I guess so,” Scarlett takes a breath of relief.
“Good to know that everyone’s okay atleast,” Meredith stand up a few feet away brushing off her dress.
“Yep everyone’s accounted for!” Scarlett cheers jumping around while Jackson looks around the cliff searching for something as the car leans more over the edge. Then something shiny catches his eye quite far away from the group. When he walked closer he realized it was a cane, Solomon’s cane.
“SOLOMONNNNNNN!!!!!” Jackson screeches and drops to his knees. The two girls look over slightly confused before they realize Solomon is missing or maybe dead. They all turn their attention to the car that slowly starts to fall off the edge. Before they could reach it crashes down the mountain hitting everything it can.
Silence spreads.
“Was he… in the…” Scarlett mutters while Meredith gasps covering her mouth. Jackson holds the cane in his hand before closing his eyes.
“Lord… I know we don’t talk… but please let this blind helpless gay man into-“ Jackson pleads but not for that long. Turns out a smack in the head with a metal cane shuts people up real fast.
“No.” Solomon places his cane back on the ground and walks away. Meredith scrambles to follow him and Scarlett laughs running over as well.
Jackson holds his head and inches up. Turns out Solomon was far from dead. He was just sleeping.
