Confession of a Cockfight and a Brother’s Watchful Gaze
The narrator recalls a youth in Blagly, his rivalry with brother Solomon, and a Sunday cock fight that ends with Solomon’s stern judgment on ill-gotten money. After a late ride home a gate encounter reveals Solomon’s stern warning and a fateful moonlit vigil. Solomon’s death follows, the missing five notes, and thirty years of mystery and remorse.
