The three Brothers part.2

The second brother returned home, and after he checked that he was alone he took the stone Death gave him from his pocket. The brother looked at the stone and turned it thrice in his hand and to his delight before him stood the ghost of the woman he had planned to marry before her untimely death. However Death had tricked him for while he could recall the soul of the dead he could not touch them and the soul suffered. So even though the brother could see his love he could not touch her and since she was not truly alive she suffered for the dead do not belong in the world of the living. Driven mad with his own hopelessness and suffering the brother hanged himself, and so Death collected the second brother.

Back at the not so abandoned asylum the figure facing the window got up and walked to another room, when the figure returned their face was revealed to be a man carrying a tray with tea and snacks; We see the figure pour three cups of tea and set one cup in front of the other two figures and one cup infront of himself. Then he put a plate of cake infront of each figure including himself and joked to one of the figures, "I shouldn't even be giving you cake with your bad behaviour or your diabetes, but I'm a great brother and shall not punish you too harshly".

Now we move back to the third brother of our story. The third brother traveled for a long time wearing the cloak if invisibility till he settled down nd started a family. Death looked and looked for many years and still could not find the third brother; Only when the brother reached a great age removed the cloak and handed it to his son did Death find him. The brother treated Death as an old friend and together they walked into the after life.

We return one last time to the asylum to see our only identifiable figure stop talking and laughed, he turned to the other two figures and bellowed, " See if the three brothers stuck together they would still be alive, but they were too stupid to work together and died". Here his voice took on a threatening tone and he hissed, " If you ever and I mean EVER try to leave me I'll kill you both brothers or not"! Suddenly the door was kicked in and two cops entered the room. They pointed their gun at the standing figure and shouted, "You are under arrest for the murder of your two brothers and the rest of your neighbors"! Confused our standing figured turned to the two seated figures and froze finally snapping out of his insanity to realize the brothers he had been telling the story two were dead and rotten skeletons with bits of rotten flesh flaking off. He began to shake and turned to the two cops, quickly in quick succession he shot both cops in the head and then turned the gun on himself; With on final gunshot the asylum was quiet for everyone was dead.
