Jacob's Dance

My name is Jacob. My wife Hannah and I still live in Chesterfield, New York. Its the year 2031 now and weve grown old. Im eighty, and my hair is white; I think of it as my crown to glory. Alvin Peetrie is long passed on now, but I can remember when I met him in the spring of 1975 like it was yesterday. We engaged a timeless dance through our halls of mirrors for three decades. He was an icon to money and power, and my conscience was troubled that he was also always so self-absorbed. His hypocrisy deeply pained his only son and challenged my innocence. His business deceit led him to fire the shots that ended the life of his lone female executive. Finally he had to face the seat of his pain and do prison time. Most said they couldnt visit him there, but I had to.George, Jae is the author of 'Jacob's Dance', published 2007 under ISBN 9781424185283 and ISBN 1424185289.
