What I Was Thinking.... When I Told George That Gatsby was the Killer

Gatsby dead in his pool

I do not know how George had the slightest idea that I could have been associated with Myrtle, but the day he came to my door asking me about the death of his wife, I panicked big time that he knew about our relationship. I knew that since Mrytle had died, George had gone insane. Everyone who crossed the valley of ashes talked about the crazy man who believed that the eyes of Doctor TJ Eckleberg were God. He was to the point of being a legal psychopath in many people’s mind. And when he thought that he had found the person who had killed his wife that he loved so dearly, there was no doubt in my mind that he would return the favor. I knew that it was Daisy and Gatsby in that car. Gatsby killed Mrytle while driving my car. Gatsby somehow knew that Myrtle and I were together, and he wanted to get revenge on me for making Daisy come back to me. In order to get revenge, he killed the one person who meant the most to me, and tried to frame me because it was my car that hit her. Then the day that George came to my house, I could see the hate in his eyes, so I happily told him that Gatsby killed his wife. The fury in his eyes was indescribable. The second I told him that Gatsby was the killer, he thanked me, and bolted away to what I assumed to be Gatsby’s house. The next I heard was that George shot Gatsby while he was lounging in the pool and then shot himself. I hate to see George leave the earth like that because he truly was a good guy, but at least two crazies were out of my life. I only wish that Myrtle was still with me so we could finally be together. But Gatsby is now gone because of George and indirectly because of me, so Daisy will no longer be unfaithful, and maybe I can actually start to be faithful in my marriage…..HA yeah right.
