Eat your heart out, Armistead!) © 2000 by Ezekiel J. Krahlin October 20, 2000 Dearest Tony, Your lover Jack, paid me a visit in spirit recently, and asked me to convey to you the following message: Hey, Butter-Brickle! I am so very proud of you. I need to tell you that I am your Guardian Angel, just as Randolph is for Zeke. And, just as Zeke suspected that Randolph never really died, I haven't either. As your guardian, you needed to experience the belief that I had passed away, for the lessons necessary to your spiritual growth. Were this not necessary, I would never have allowed you to go through this devastating loss...but as God's Great Servant, I know better. Now that you have done so well, in fact the very best possible (equal to a soldier decorated with the Purple Heart and Congressional Medal of Honor), it is time to relieve you of your grief in missing me. I am alive and well, and will soon return to you, and keep you close to me and in my arms for good, this time around. Zeke trusts his visions, and hopes that his sharing such a message is not a cruel trick. In fact, Randolph has told him that he'll return by Hallowe'en, just as I shall return to you, My Only Love. This message through Zeke's hand is also to affirm that your recent visions and dreams of me are not your imagination, but genuine revelations that you and I shall very soon be together once more. This does not mean you'll soon die to be united with me in Heaven...but that I shall return from Heaven to stand by you here on earth. (Yes, a miracle soon to happen.) Your painful trials are coming to an end, and your great rewards are soon to grace you for the fine and handsome man you truly are. Give Zeke some credit for this, too, and consider him your rainy-day lover if you so wish...he has my total trust in every way. (Also know that every Good Gay Man has eleven other lovers, in addition to his main love, who is his guardian angel.) It would be nice if you took a little time now and then to visit or phone Zeke...for you are good friends to each other, and should not be neglectful. However, Zeke does not hold anything against you (except of course his throbbing wanger!), and wishes you only the best, and that you and I can be together once more. And so shall it be. Kisses & Hugs: Your JACK-O-Lantern Heapin' Hunk of Love. ---finis
