I Trust You 

I have to kill you, Joe replied! The knife was clenched in his hand, held tightly to my throat .You’ve been unfaithful to me! Joe, we have been divorced for over 9 years.I moved on with my life.Your having one of your panic episodes. You don’t know what you’re doing! I’m feeling the sharp bladed knife pinching my throat! I was scared.


Little did he know, behind him stood our son Jason.He came in through the back door. Joe didn’t see him,sneaking in the house.He was stunned, seeing his father with the knife in his hand. Jason,saw the fear on my face.


Dad!!! put the knife down,your high and smell of pot and whiskey!

The father dropped the knife, suddenly,pulled out a gun!

Joe, cocked his gun, aiming to fire. The gun was pointed towards my son.Oh my god! Stop it,I screamed hysterically!


I saw the look on my son’s face.He had tears in his eyes. Joe is walking slowly, towards our son.

Holding the cocked gun!


Joe was crying. It was a pity cry for help!He was broken.He was lost with delusion.


Suddenly, JOE dropped to his knees. Bang! Bang! It happened so fast! This nightmare was getting worse.

He turned the gun on himself! Shot himself in the head. He pointed the 38 caliber right to his temple and pulled the trigger.


I was ready to pass out, when I saw all the blood with parts of his brain splattered all over the floor! The blood was everywhere. I began to vomit, feeling like I was going to pass out. It was a Harowing sight to experience.


Jason hugged me,like he never did before!. I felt his pain. I saw tears peeking out from the sides of his eyes. Go in the house mom, this is too much for you to see. Joe, was on a stretcher, with a sheet over him! The two EMS officers were taking him to the morgue..

Flash! FLASH! In a second Joe’s life is gone.Maybe this is what he wanted. ( in his sick deranged mind).


That is my story, a tragic ending, which once was a happy beginning!
