This is a short story. It was the 13th month and 13th day of Jake Bradley's stay on death row. Now in the 13th hour, Jake was moving closer to his date with Ol' Sparky. Ten years earlier Jake had put an abrupt end to the young Latin lover of his pretty wife.
The judge had sentenced Jake to death but there had been no remorseful statements emanating from Jake. Would his final visitor hear it?
Excerpt:
Jake had strangled the young Latin lover of his black haired beautiful bride only a decade earlier. He had squeezed the life out of the trim handsome figure that had held his wife so many times while he had been at work. A cancelled trip and a hasty return home one day had revealed his wife’s infidelity. There had been only one thing for Jake to do. The Latino’s end had come easy for Jake. It was a fulfilling experience in fact….
Word had also gotten in from the outside and spread among some of the inmates that the Priest had not quite become completely celibate. Some said he liked little boys and had taken some young parishioners under his wing…..
Jake starred back into the Priest’s eyes briefly. “Father Johnson, it’s good to see you again. What brings you here? Surely you must have more saintly surroundings where you can grace your presence.”
The Priest looked annoyed. “I see that your sense of humor has not abandoned you, even at this late hour Jake. However, I think it is out of place.”
