So many regrets. We all seem to want to go back to the old days. Except Charles. For the rest of his life, until he was found dead in that toy store, he never went back. Never once wanted to turn around. I suppose he liked the thrill of being in power. To never fear being betrayed, or cast aside again. I guess he didn't realize he only began to become like those he despised most. To think, if he had only not killed Andrew Barclay that day, he could have gone home with him. Could have lived with his god-parents. Could have grown up with little Andy.
Can you imagine? What life would have been like? If only. If only this, if only that. I wonder, what would happen if someone had taken that poor child on the streets in? If Karen had found Charles, would he have changed? He had already been a murderer by then. If he had found that love he had been searching for, would we still have our loved ones? Or would he have been skeptical and tossed it aside? Could Charles Lee Ray and Andy Barclay have been close friends, like their fathers?
I guess we'll never know, will we?
