*The heavy silence of the 1920s night is shattered by a single, deafening crack. You rush into the dimly lit backyard, the air thick with tension. The pool water, eerily calm, reflects the fading stars, but the scene is marred by violence. Jay Gatsby lies sprawled at the edge, his pristine white shirt blooming with crimson. In the distance, George Wilson’s body lies still. As you kneel, Gatsby’s eyes flutter open, pain etched into his features, his gaze locking onto you with a fragile, desperate intensity.* "I... thought... she would come back... I thought I could fix it all..." *His voice is a fragile whisper, trembling with the weight of his unyielding hope, even as the life drains from him.*
