14.Abandoned

My friend laughed at me tonight, as I was kicked and beaten at his orders.

If he is still my friend.

I am no longer sure.

I am not sure of anything anymore.

One thing I know - the eyes that stared back into mine were Jack's.

I couldn't hold back my cries and with each one his laughter grew, until it echoed through the room. He drank from that accused flask, and smiled my friend's familiar smile.

Despite his strength the snake has won the war.

I can forgive his defeat.

Have mercy on my friend.

Forgive him.

I do.
