The Punisher- Happy Anniversary
Frank Castle is sitting in his apartment on his own, in the dark, with the only light coming from the TV in which he was flicking through. Whiskey strong on his breath and a gun in his hand. He is drunk as today is the one year anniversary of his family's demise. The news is on…
Today the police are investigating a murder in times square of a family who are yet to be identified, a couple and their 7 year old daughter were victims of a hit and run attack believed to be linked with a deal with the Kingpin, but nothing can be confirmed as of yet
Frank takes a swig of the whiskey he has in his hand and holds a pistol under his chin
Maybe things would be simpler if I just ended it right here…
He looks just above the television where a picture of him and his family and closes his eyes.
FLASHBACK
Daddy, daddy look at this….
Franks son runs towards him with a painting he did at school, the painting has Frank, his wife and himself all holding hands with a rainbow over them.
Well I know where that is going….right here on the fridge.
Frank picks up his son and helps him to place the painting on the fridge, he gives him a kiss and lets the kid run off into his room.
2nd flashback
Frank and his wife are passionately kissing on their bed, moves on top of her and start to kiss her neck, he stops and gazes into her eyes and smiles and gives her another kiss.
I love you Frank…..
Present day
Frank, in tears, takes another swig of the whiskey and throws it against the wall.
ARGGGH!
Frank puts the pistol next to his temple and goes to squeeze the trigger.
Click
No ammo. Frank staggers toward the bathroom knocking over ornaments on his way making a lot of noise.
Somebody knocks on the door.
Mr Castle, is everything okay?
Frank throws a dumbbell at the door
LEAVE ME ALONE!
Frank is in the bathroom, staring at himself in the mirror. After staring at the mirror for a while his wife and son appear behind him, he jolts round to see that no one is actually there. Frank punches the mirror, cuts himself, collapses near the bath and begins to cry again, soon after he passes out due to the mixture of alcohol, blood loss and lack of sleep.
