CAL’S STORY
EPILOGUE
Cal married eventually, and
inherited his millions, but he was never happy. He never recovered from losing
his true love. Many a time during his wretched life he would implore God to
agree to a deal to take away his wealth in return for his Rose.
In 1929, around the time of the
stock market crash, Cal heard word of Rose. He discovered that she had survived
and was to be married. The pain was too much to bear, and Cal put a pistol in
his mouth.
I’m sorry I couldn’t make you
proud, Daddy. I’m sorry I couldn’t love you in the way you deserved, my sweet,
sweet Rose…
The End.
