Drabble: Nemesis

[templeremus]

Harry Woolf was almost gone when Gene saw him next. The whites of his eyes had yellowed and a nurse had to help him sit up.

"Better make this quick, Gene. These drugs'd fell an elephant."

They sat through the night. Woolf talked a little, and slept when talking got too much. Though nothing he said made any difference, Gene listened anyway. It is a terrible thing, to die without hope, and in his experience only a very few bastards deserved it.

That Monday, Phyllis looked him over. "Busy weekend, Guv?"

"Could say that."

He paid for the funeral himself.

Thank you. Gene's unbending loyalty is one of his most impressive characteristics, to me. It opens him up to betrayal, but it also makes him the bigger man a lot of the time - especially compared to Sam, who can barely trust himself some days.
