The Last Prejudice
by Bill Blodgett
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Mainstream Drama (GLBT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When
Ed Connor slips into a coma his wife, children and their families arrive at the
hospital to await his recovery. They gather around his bedside and begin
reminiscing about the good old days but as the hours pass stress begins to take
its toll causing long held family secrets and unresolved issues to surface. A
disagreement over a DNR order put Ed’s sons, Steve and Peter, at odds and the
family speculates that their anger is really about an event that led to their
falling out when they were teens. While in his coma, Ed exists somewhere
between life and death and wonders what he could have done differently when
Steve tried to tell him that he was gay. The family is drawn into the bitter
battle between Peter and Steve, and they fear things will never be right
between them again. It’s now up to the family to devise an intervention as a
last ditch effort to bring these two battling brothers back into the family.

EXCERPT TWO:
The
coffee cup shattered when it hit the white porcelain kitchen sink. She had just
poured it and added a splash of half and half before she looked out the kitchen
window to check on him. Oh well, if it makes him happy. Some things I just
can’t change, she thought. Then he slumped over the steering wheel of the lawn
mower. Fortunately the mower’s safety mechanism shut the mower down when he
fell to the side and onto the newly mowed lawn.
The
shattering of the cup had barely quieted before she was through the screen door
and at his side. She pulled him the rest of the way off the mower and felt for
a pulse. She found it. Thank God.
“Ed!
Ed, can you hear me? Don’t do this to me, you stubborn old fart. I told you not
to be mowing this damn lawn.”
His
eyes opened when she cradled his head in her lap, and he mumbled something. She
leaned closer. “… broken…” was all she heard.
“Broken?
Ed, what’s broken?”
When
he didn’t respond, she pulled back to look at him. His eyes went vacant and
then slowly rolled back and closed.
“Help
me, please… Anyone, please help me!”
She
shrieked until someone heard her. Within minutes Beth, her neighbor, was at her
side. “Jan, my God, what’s happened?”
“Call
911.”

AUTHOR BIO:
Bill still
lives in the community where he met and married his lovely wife, Janice.
Actually, she lived around the corner from him and they both ignored each other
until their teen years when the hormone thing kicked in and they suddenly
realized that the cute little girl skipping rope and that goofy boy riding a
bike had both grown up.
They
are the proud parents of April and Lindsay; both of whom are now married. April
married Darren and they have two beautiful boys, Brian and Owen. Lindsay
married Tim and they have a beautiful little girl, Kailyn.
Bill enjoys hiking, kayaking, camping with his
family, golfing, making candles, and restoring his antique European sports car,
a 1972 MGB.
They
say to write from what you know, so he does. He writes of love, life and
relationships.
