Epilogue
Placing the bottle of Absinthe to my
lips one last time I swallowed the stinging fluid and placed the burning pistol
to my temple. This was it my worries
ended here and now, nothing can stop me.
“G-Good-Goodbye…” I stuttered with a
sob. Right when I went to pull the
freedom trigger…
“DON’T DO IT!” a woman’s voice came
from behind me.
What was I doing? I… I was back in my old garret. It was 1899 again and… and Satine had just
died 6 months ago.
Turning I saw…
“PAULETTE!” I cried.
“How do you know my name?” She asked
frantically. What was she talking about?
It was me didn’t she see me?
“Lucky guess?”
“Please put it down. The gun… please?” I did as she asked.
“I don’t understand what are you
doing here Paula?” I asked nervously.
“I um… I saw you… in the window and I
couldn’t let you… you know… do it. I had
to stop you.” She tried to smile.
“You saved my life.” I whispered.
“Call it a ricochet I guess.” She
smiled.
“I want to help you.” She whispered
serious now.
“I want your love… I mean help.” I
turned red realizing what I had said.
*I’d just saved this mans life and I
knew right away there was something between us.
When he mentioned love… I knew that was it. We were destinies choice… a ricochet of a
couple…
“All right.”
I smiled. I was agreeing to not
only both… but firstly… LOVE.
