His
wife, Kristi, was maintaining a candlelight vigil by
his side. She held his fragile hand, tears running down her
face. Her praying roused him from
his slumber. He looked up and his pale lips began
to move slightly. "My darling Kristi," he whispered.
"Hush, my love," she said. "Rest. Shhh, don't
talk." He was insistent. "Kristi," he said in his tired
voice. "I...I Have something I must confess to you."
"There's nothing to confess," replied the weeping Kristi.
"Everything's all right, go to sleep." "No, no. I must
die in peace, Kristi. I...I slept with your sister, your
best friend, her best friend, and your mother!" "I
know," Kristi whispered softly. "That's why I poisoned
you."
