Those were Ernie's last words. Bert was a mentally unstable man who wanted to give light and happiness to others, only to be mocked. After giving Ernie his Ice Cream, Bert realised what must be done, and slowly, he crept his hand closer to the revolver he used in 'Nam. the PTSD, and the spirits still haunt him, but even then as his sanity dropped, he knew what he had to do.
He calmly loaded it while whispering to himself like a madman, and pointed the loaded gun behind Ernie's head. with the breath of a senile psychopath Bert pulled the trigger. Ernie was dead. Realising what he had just done, that he had tooken the life of another yet again, and this time it was his best friend, his companion. Heartbroken, with tears in his eyes, Bert pointed the gun yet again, but this time towards his mouth. His last words were "I'm sorry Ernie, I'm so sorry" and with his soul cracked and everyone he loved gone, he pulled the trigger.
