LAST NIGHT

LAST NIGHT
Brendan Lemon

John Webster will more than likely die tomorrow. In the hot Cuban morning, his life will be cut short by the executioner, punishment for the murder of a teenage boy. Late at night in his cell the young American begins to assemble the letter he has been writing; in impassioned fragments, he struggles to create an accounting for his athletic Cuban lover that will cut through the lies the two have been forced to tell about each other by the authorities and that will help John reach a state of clarity, if not peace.
