I do not own these characters or their circumstances. I am merely a voice to a wider tale waiting to be told.
Enjoy!
Wishes: Garth makes extra provisions for the will
"I still think this is pointless."
"I know you do, but if you never pay attention to this sort of thing, you're going to have to trust me."
"I want to do things my way."
"Fine, do them your way. But we're also going to do them my way, just in case."
"Why? What's wrong with my note? Simple, true, straightforward. What else is there?"
"Well, for one thing, witnesses. And for another, that note will never hold up in court. And you know they'll drag him there, Hub. You know they will."
"Damned relatives. I can't stand them as will fight him on this, even after everything. What sort of world is this, anyway? Man can't even be permitted to his own last wishes or to the peace of mourning."
"Yup. That's why we're going to do it properly. Make sure he's protected, make sure they don't get a dime of it."
"All right, all right, I'll do it. But I'm still leaving my note, when it's time."
"That's fine. I'll put it with the key to the bank box."
"I thought you didn't trust banks, Garth."
"I do. You don't. But this is for Walter, not you or me."
"Oh."
"Anything else you wanna put in the box besides the legal stuff?"
"No. The only other thing of value that'll fit he already has."
"Her picture?"
"That."
"Okay. So we'll just go in, make out the papers tomorrow, lock them up in the bank, and then we'll be ready. You can write whatever you damn well please for whenever the time comes, and we can both go knowing Walter'll be all right. Deal?"
"Deal."
