The Ending: Chapter 5
( Deathly Disgrace)
"YOU-ASS-HOLE!" Mort punctuated the sentence with short punches directed at the wall. He hated himself. He'd never forgive himself. Last night, Teresa had come to his house to check up on him. Out of sadness and guilt over Amy, he'd kissed her, and as the night progressed, things happened that he would never forget as long as he lived. He loathed himself. He'd been unfaithful to Amy, and he'd done it out of self-pity.
- - That's all it was! SELF-PITY! You are such a jerk, Mort Rainey. You deserve everything that happened to you. YOU HAD IT COMING! - -
- I know. I do deserve it, don't I? Amy should've just married Ted and had it over. Then I could wallow in my misery without any hesitation. -
Mort didn't love Teresa, not one bit. Yeah, she was gorgeous, and she was a nice girl overall, but the only woman he could ever love had been murdered. By himself no less! He knew it. Shooter hadn't done it. There never was a Shooter to begin with. He was a fabrication of Mort's anger and guilt that he'd felt over the whole divorce. Mort had killed innocent people without knowing it. He was crazy, and he'd turn himself in. He stole a last glance around his beloved cabin...yes, beloved, in spite of all the memories that were associated with the place...and he left, for good.
- - Wait a sec, Mort! Think about your situation for a second. Crazy people don't know they're crazy, do they? - -
- I don't know, but I can't take that chance. -
- - Come on, old friend. Give it a day. Then you can decide if you want to be stuck in jail for the rest of your life. - -
- I DESERVE IT! -
- - You said it yourself. You did it because you were angry. Angry and depressed. They're human emotions, and people do stupid things because of them. Give it a day. - -
- But I'm a murderer! -
With that, Mort began to cry. He jumped into his forest green Jeep Grand Cherokee and stuck the keys in the ignition. He stepped on the gas and drove. Just drove. Maybe it was a mix of the tears, sleepiness and rusty driving that did it, but let's just say that Morton Rainey committed one final murder that night. He drove over a cliff and was never seen again........not alive, anyway.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Well, that's it! Hopefully you enjoyed it, and more will be coming soon, probably in either the Pirates of the Caribbean area, or something more along the lines of Edward Scissorhands. Johnny Depp either way!:-D By the way if you liked this (and even if you didn't) check out Secret Window II: Reopening the Window by DeppsterGal. It's amazing.
