The Betrayal

Ronnie felt betrayed. He was a bad judge, agreed. But could an error be so fatal?

Ronnie had met Jack at a party. Jack’s sophistication and suaveness charmed him. Jack became his best friend, a confidante. Jack made him feel special. And so he ignored the notoriety Jack and his family carried. A mistake.

“I thought you were my friend” cried Ronnie as he gasped for breath. His insides exploded in pain as he coughed up blood.

Jack Daniels frowned as he rested in Ronnie’s cupboard. He had been honest enough. The words on his label couldn’t be clearer.

‘Consumption of alcohol is injurious to health.’

What had Ronnie expected?
