Johnny Frank Garrett's Last Word Page #3

---

back down to the party?

You can help me tend

to the casualties.

Sometimes I am there.

I'm sitting there

behind the glass,

seeing the poison go in.

I am watching him die.

You been having

dreams about him?

Uh-huh.

And other times...

I-I'm the nun.

And he's behind me,

inside me,

whispering in my ear,

"kiss my ever-loving ass."

And he's not...

He's not too rough about it.

And he's not too gentle either,

oh, no, ma'am.

He knows what he's doing.

Let's get some coffee

inside you right now.

I've been getting dirt

stuck under my fingernails.

Dad?

Yeah?

You passed out early.

Just tucking you in.

Okay.

Tickle fight first?

A tickle fight?

Come on, you're half asleep.

Please?

You think just 'cause

it's your birthday

you get to have a tickle fight?

Okay, okay!

Oh, no. Too late, too late.

Stop, I can't...

No, once it starts,

it's never gonna stop!

Hey, baby.

Hey, baby.

Hey.

What do you want?

What do you mean?

I know that look.

What look? Well, nothing.

What do you want?

All right, now, seriously.

We got ten tubs of sour cream

in the Potter restaurant,

in that temperamental

refrigerator.

If I don't fix it,

it's gonna be a huge mess.

Okay.

So, uh,

about church tomorrow.

Go ahead.

Really?

Who loves you?

You do.

You do. Thank you,

sweetheart.

Yeah, I'll just sit

with Carol anyway.

I'll take her to ihop

afterwards.

Well, you think

she's gonna make it?

I'll call her and get her up.

I've been meaning to spend

some time with her anyway.

She's been acting

really strange lately.

Yeah, well,

you got your happy drunks,

you got your angry drunks,

you got your messy drunks.

She's...

She's all three at once.

I mean, it's...

It's a little weird.

She said she's been

having dreams

about Johnny frank Garrett.

Hm.

I don't know about the rest of

the elderly women in Amarillo,

but those weeks

after the murder...

Stop. No, I can't.

I was terrified to go to sleep.

That's not right.

Terrified.

- No, he said...

- I'm innocent!

I wouldn't do that!

I wouldn't do that.

No!

Oh!

No!

No. Leave me be!

Don't you know... don't you know

who I told you to...

That's not gonna work.

Jesus, come back.

Jesus hold my hand.

The devil said...

No.

Oh!

The lord will protect you

and there will be no evil.

And the day of judgment

will come...

No!

Stop! No!

Who can read what I've written

on the board?

Lacey.

Read what I've written.

Go on. Read it.

"Kiss my ever-loving..."

Read it!

"Kiss my ever-loving...

Ass?"

A wife, a teacher, a friend.

We all knew Carol

as a selfless, happy woman,

who was loved unconditionally

and unanimously.

That is how she

will be remembered

as she takes her place with god.
