Brad's dislike for the old man intensified with every second. He was thankful that he would be dying anytime soon. He watched in disgust and pity as the geezer gasped and drooled all over the white, smelly cot. Brad could not believe he was actually related to him. How did my mom have such a creep as a dad? he thought to himself.

The old man turned and stared at him with those weird, grey eyes. He coughed, and stared at him again.

"Stop looking at me like that," Brad said, but the old man seemed to not hear him. He coughed again, this time more loudly and more painfully.

"Brad, my boy, my grandson," the old man whisphered. "I have some important things to tell you."

Brad nodded politely. "Yes?" he asked.

The geezer stared at him a bit more then murmered, "I'm going to let you in on a little family secret. Come closer, my boy."

With some reluctancy, Brad managed to inch his chair a bit closer to the man.

"I haven't told anyone about this before," the man said. "As soon as you hear this, as soon as I let out my final breath and go, I want you to bolt out the door and tell your parents about this."
