Jimmy sees a woman stand up from a mound on the road, she turns to look at him with cold eyes. Jimmy sees his mother, her clothes ragged, cuts lining her body. She bears a black eye. Jimmy, you piece of shit. I knew you would leave me. Leave me to DIE! You were always just a cheap imitation of your brother! You never cared about me, you always just did whatever the hell you wanted... and we all had to pay the price. You left me... when your father would beat me. You walked away when I was WOUNDED. And look now... you'd do it again!
Lenny sees a shapeless white mass in the road. It is around five foot in diameter. As Mickey gets out and walks up to it, it rolls end over end lancing out with a pseudopod and begins to envelope the man.

The creature lances out with a pseudopod at Lenny. Its pod goes wide and it screeches in fury.

The bullet lands and the shape punctures and seems to deflate, goo and various organic materials spill out onto the road. Lenny and Jimmy can see bone and bits of flesh spread out in a widening pool from the monster.

Jimmy's thumb stays on the hammer of his revolver. Grief can drive people to terrible things, and he never really trusted Lenny in the first place. His mind drifts to the cache of money hidden just outside of town and wonders if Lenny's mind turns to the same thing...and whether the other man would prefer not to split it. He rolls his tongue in his mouth in thought and watching Lenny very, very closely. Hell, maybe Jimmy wouldn't mind keeping all that cash for himself - he could disappear with that kind of dough, for a good long while at least. Away from the insanity, and away from his brother.
Love it, gentlemen. A very mafioso ending.

He almost went out in that peace, but it seemed the devil thought that was too good for him and so as he passed his last thought was one of pure anguish as he realized Mickey hadn't been to church since Easter, he only came to Easter services when he arrived in the holy land he would still be without his brother.
This was awesome, Thanks All, I can now say because of @Edmund_Balworth and of course each and every player that I've had a good experience with Cuthulu, and though there were points I was questioning what I was supposed to be doing and what exactly was going on I trusted Your lead in the story that everything would come together.
Every bit of this was amazing from playing brothers with @Antiproduct, who played Mickey in such a way that I could at many times not only compare him to my own brother but feel as though I understood what he was going to do, to @SJoyner72 often taking the lead as Manny and throwing us into things in a way I never would have come up with myself.
And finally I mean the ending here with @C1NDER, I never would've expected that secret bit of message but now that I think about it it fits perfectly, there was always a tension between Lenny and Jimmy, that was felt at almost every turn,
and for both of them to make it out when you look at the rest of the story seems well Impossible
