The Bomb Ending
"But I wanted to help, Peles." Said Erlin. She stared at Peles as if she was pleading for him to let her help. Peles wouldn't give in to her plea. "No I can't allow it" he said.
"I'm open and willing to learn."
"No."
"But Peles I wa….."
"No buts I said no and I mean NO Erlin!!"
"Just listen to me. Think of how many bombs we could dismantle if we had four people working instead of one."
As Peles thought about it Erlin added, "And the money, more bombs equals more money. And it'll teach the boys patience." Her attempts were futile up until Erlin mentioned money. It's true they were running low. "No I won't allow it. I can't die with the guilt of your lives on my shoulders. The boys' lives they couldn't live, you unable to be happy in death, I doubt that I could go even a day of death with these thoughts flooding my mind."
"But we want to help dad!!" yelled al three little boys
"No it's too dangerous!"
"We will follow you obediently and listen to ever warning and order you give."
"I have already said no multiple times so for the last time I mean what I said, and I said NO!!!"
"Sorry dad" chorused all three boys."
"Now go back home I'll be there for dinner. You too Erlin go home."
As Erlin silently followed Peles' commands she schemed. How would she make Peles believe her? She had the perfect idea, dangerous yet perfect.
That night after the family ate their dinner of plain rice, it was all they could afford, Peles comes stumbling to the door. Drunk again thought Erlin "Well at least you made it home this time you drunken fool."
"Uhn? But I wa ery unk at las ca."
"Shhhh lets get you to bed Peles."
"Wa yu ca me? My nam is invincerble boy."
As Erlin lay Peles down in bed she thought it is time. She rushed out of the house down towards the bomb.
About two hours later there was an extremely loud KABOOM!!!!! Peles woke from his drunken slumber and asked, "Wha was tha? Is tha the bom? Naahh."
When he awoke in the morning to his surprise Erlin wasn't in bed. So Peles checked the kitchen, "not there either?" he thought. He took a dreading look out the window.
"Oh my god!!! She tried to dismantle it alone?!?!?! No, no, no, no, this can't be happening." He said as he started to cry. He ran down to the bomb trying to hold in the tears. "No!" He screamed as he looks at the blood covered necklace he had given her when their first child was born. "No, no, no!!!" he screamed as he pulled his gun out.
"Now Erlin, I will join you in death!!!! I can't handle this at all. First my mentor then you, my only love. I told you it was too dangerous!!!" Sobbing he tightened his grip on the trigger.
BANG!! Peles' head blew off the life instantly sucked out of him as he went to join his beloved bride Erlin.
