Ok, so you've read the tale about Ebenezer Slutch and his conversion from
grinch to saint. But several people asked me how things ended. For example:
did Ebenezer get treated for his cancer? Did Huge Tim get a better life
because of the therapy? What happens to Tommy and his cousin Eddy?

Well, since I don't feel like answering all those questions in different
emails I decided to write one more chapter: the epilogue! Enjoy!


A Gay Christmas Carol in Prose
Epilogue


So, first and foremost, Ebenezer Slutch lived. Two days after the events on
Christmas day he got a call from the doctor in the hospital to come in for
the results. The doctor told him about the cancer and before New Year
Ebenezer had a MRI made to see how big the tumor was. It proved to be small
and very well operable. They could even save all the surrounding structures
like the nerves necessary to get an erection and orgasm. Two days after New
Year Ebenezer was operated on. Immediate analysis showed all of the tumor
had been removed and the doctors didn't think chemotherapy was
necessary. Still, he had to come in every three months for medical
check-ups and, after a period of 5 years without the cancer reappearing
Ebenezer Slutch was considered cured of cancer.

But more happened in those five years.

Cock and his wife had been trying to get pregnant for a very long
time. According to the doctors there was no reason why they couldn't get
children. Both were healthy; their techniques were good as was their
timing. Although both loved sex, with or without others, in the days before
Maria had her ovulation they wouldn't have sex for a couple of days to
improve the amount of sperm Cock would should while Maria was
ovulating. But all this never had any result.

That Christmas Day Maria wasn't supposed to ovulate but somehow she
did. While Cock was fucking her and Ebenezer was fucking Cock an egg broke
loose and traveled towards he uterus. When Ebenezer shot his load in his
nephew's ass, causing Cock to erupt as well, one of Cock's sperms was shot
almost directly into the egg, fertilizing it. At first Maria didn't
understand why she was feeling so nauseous in the beginning of the New Year
and she thought she was coming down with the flu. But when the symptoms
persisted and her period wasn't coming she began hoping it was something
else. Six weeks after Christmas she took a pregnancy test that turned out
positive. Still, she didn't tell Cock about it. She didn't want to get his
hopes up. Instead she went to the doctor and, two months after Christmas,
got confirmed what she already knew: she was pregnant.

Cock, on the other hand, was getting worried because not only did Maria's
nausea not go away, she also didn't participate in the sexual games with
other men and women anymore. Cock was more and more sure something terrible
was going on and he confronted her only days after the doctor had confirmed
her pregnancy. She explained it to him and to say he was the happiest man
around would be the biggest understatement that was ever made. When they
did the math the realized it was probably the sex session with Ebenezer
that had created this little miracle.

With the beginning of spring Cock and Maria invited Ebenezer over for
diner. Ebenezer, now a real horn dog even though he was still under
observation from his surgery, half expected to have sex with his nephew and
his wife and wore no underwear. Instead they told him Maria was pregnant
and probably got pregnant in their wild sexual adventure on Christmas
Day. Ebenezer was so happy for them but he also knew Cock didn't earn much
money so a baby would probably cost more than they could afford. So, in
secret, he paid the mortgage on their house. Cock got a letter from the
Bank, telling him their mortgage had been paid by an anonymous benefactor
who wished to remain anonymous. Cock and Maria were pretty sure it had been
Ebenezer but he never admitted it and, after a while, they stopped asking.

In September Maria gave birth to a beautiful baby boy who they named
Ebenezer.



Ebenezer still felt terrible for the things that happened to Tommy and he
decided the young man needed help. After that Christmas Day he visited
Tommy as much as he could while the boy was still in the hospital and,
after Tommy heard he would be discharged on New Year's Eve, Ebenezer
invited him to stay at his place to regain his strength. Tommy accepted but
made the same mistake he made earlier by thinking he could seduce Ebenezer
with his body. Although Tommy was really hot to look at Ebenezer wasn't
sexually interested in the boy. He found Tommy too young. But this time
Ebenezer didn't throw him out but explained some things to the young man
who finally understood Ebenezer didn't want to possess him sexually and he
didn't have to repay Ebenezer in any way for his stay. After their talk
Tommy went upstairs to sleep and Ebenezer looked at the slender naked young
man as he left the living room.

Tommy recovered nicely from the rape and the psychological trauma
associated with it but neither him or Ebenezer ever brought up the subject
of Tommy leaving. As a matter of fact, Ebenezer bought him new clothes and
encouraged the young man to go back to school. He furnished one of the
rooms upstairs as a study and bought a new laptop, printer and other stuff
for Tommy to complete his studies. Tommy agrees to stay and, next summer,
he graduated high school, a year later than he normally would have, as top
of his class. After graduation he and Ebenezer finally had a conversation
about the future.

"Ebenezer, I love all the things you're doing for me but don't you think
it's time for me to move on?" Tommy asked.

"Only if you want to, my boy. You're more than welcome to stay. In fact,
I've been thinking. I know your parents threw you out and they haven't
contacted you anymore ever since. How about staying here and be my son? Be
the son I never had and never will have." Ebenezer said.

"I want to think a couple of days about that, Ebenezer" Tommy answered.

A couple of days later Tommy told Ebenezer he would love to be his son and,
with a little help of his lawyers, Ebenezer had everything taken care of in
a week. Tommy's birth parents were glad to be rid of him and didn't put up
much of a fight.

After the summer Tommy went to college and became a pre-med student. He
decided he wanted to be a surgeon. In college he was openly gay and dated
some guys, but never anything serious. That changed, however, sometime
later.



The day after Christmas the two ladies Ebenezer had spoken came to his
office and they discussed what was needed to create a future for those boys
and young men who were kicked out because of their sexuality but didn't
want to become prostitutes. They agreed Ebenezer Slutch would buy a
building that would be converted into small, one-bedroom apartment where
the boys could stay to get life back on track. They also agreed on creating
a scholarship, the Jacob Arsely Scholarship for Gay Boys, a way to get ten
boys a year through college. In order to do al this a foundation was
founded: the Jacob Arsely Foundation for Protection of Gay boys and Men,
with the lady called Mathilda, Ebenezer and Bob Suckit as it's board. Not
only did they provide the living space and scholarships, they also gave
lectures about violence against gay men and self-defense classes for gay
men. It meant a lot of work for the three board members but they loved
doing it.



Because of their work for the foundation, the time they spent together at
the Club (after all, the foundation still needed it's income) and the time
they spent while dealing with the treatments Huge Tim was getting, Bob
Suckit noticed Ebenezer truly had changed. The new Ebenezer was a pleasant
person to be around and, Suckit noticed for the very first time, quite
attractive. After Ebenezer had recovered from his surgery he and Bob Suckit
started dating. They took it slowly, because they first wanted to get to
know each other very well. After all, if they took those final steps and
things would not go right they would have a problem because of their
working relationship. They didn't need to worry. The first 6 months after
they started dating they found out they really liked each other and they
told each other "I love you" the night Ebenezer jr. was born. That was also
the night they first made love together. Both were versatile so they both
gave and received each other's cock that night. The next morning they were
a little embarrassed when Tommy asked if they could keep it down a little
the next time.

Over the next two years they spent a lot of time together, alternating
between the apartment owned by the club and Ebenezer's house. Several
people told them they should move in together but it was almost two years
after their first night together before Ebenezer asked Bob to move in with
him. It took Bob 6 more months to say yes and so, after dating for 3 years
they started living together.

For the young men in the apartment it was strange. They no longer had their
"father" living with them and, for a while, it seemed things would go out
of control. But Mace proved to be a strong and positive leader not long
after Bob Suckit moved out things were quiet around the apartment again.



Huge Tim's therapy was indeed long and progress was slow. You need to
understand Tim's image of himself was severely disrupted by the actions of
his father and, in order to deal with his depressions effectively, that
needed to be corrected first. More than once Tim had been on the verge of
giving up but either Ebenezer or Bob Suckit made sure he never did.

Still, the therapy was increasing the depressions Tim was suffering from
and his medicines didn't block the depressive feelings enough. Tim tried to
commit suicide. However, Tommy, being sent to the apartment because
Ebenezer needed to ask Bob something but the phone was of the hook, found
Tim in time and called an ambulance. Tim made it to the hospital in time
and was admitted in the psychiatric ward after he had physically recovered
from his suicide attempt. While he was admitted there Tommy came to visit
him one day and cursed so much at him the nurses tried to remove him from
the ward. They were not very successful so Tommy got to finish all the
things he needed to say to Tim and, as a miracle, some of those things
touched a nerve in Tim. Although he was somewhat sedated he responded to
Tommy's accusations and a lively discussion between the two young men took
place. Some would call it a fight but in his sedated state Tim was in no
shape to have a fight. Later Dr. Marlbly would state this fight was the
first real breakthrough they had made and Tommy was allowed to visit more
often.

Tommy continued to stimulate Tim and, according to Dr. Marlbly, he was one
of the reasons why Tim was improving so rapidly. Oh, there were times when
he still succumbed to his darker moods but those times were less and
less. Eventually Dr. Marlbly began to diminish the medicines Tim had to
take and almost two years after the faithful Christmas Day Huge Tim was off
the medicines and, most of the time, in a good mood.

Although Tim was now officially cured he still saw Dr. Marlbly on a regular
basis to make sure he wouldn't fall back in his old ways. He also kept
seeing Tommy because the two of them became great friends. And more than a
year later, just before Tommy was preparing for medical school, they
started dating and remained together for always.



But Ebenezer did more.

Because he didn't want to hate anyone anymore he hired a private
investigator to find his parents and Jimmy. And he found both of them.



His father had passed away several years before. His mother was still alive
and was willing to see Ebenezer.

"After he kicked you out he never even once spoke of you again" his mother
said. "And I was in no position to do anything. I was completely dependent
of him so I couldn't do anything. That's why I never tried to interfere
that night when he abused you."

"He didn't just "abuse" me, mother. He raped me!" Ebenezer said. There was
still a lot of anger towards his parents. Weren't parents to love their
children unconditionally?

His mother looked away. "I always suspected something like that had
happened but he wouldn't even acknowledge your existence, let alone what
had happened that night. I was bound to him. You must understand in the
circles your father and I came from a wife was obedient to her
husband. Disobedience, let alone the wife accusing her husband of something
was not done. I threatened with a divorce once and my own father made sure
I would never think of something like that again. I could not do anything
to help you".

They had a very long talk that night but nothing was really solved. They
kept in touch but the things that happened that night, long ago, kept
standing between them until the day his mother died.



With Jimmy things went differently. The private investigator found out
Jimmy had a law firm only 5 blocks from Ebenezer's club. After the night
Ebenezer had been put in the hospital a similar thing had happened once
more but this time with one of the other soldiers. The victim, a 19-years
old boy, was bound to wheelchair for the rest of his life because of one of
the soldiers who broke the young man's back. After that incident Jimmy
reported all of the soldiers to their commanding officer who informed the
police. Three of them were sentenced to jail and the rest got a slap on the
wrist. But Jimmy knew now the army wasn't for him and he left, resulting in
the anger of his father and a break with his family.

Jimmy had gone to law school where he met August. They started dating not
long after they met and, after graduating, they started their own law firm,
specializing in human rights for minorities.

Jimmy had thought about going to see Ebenezer from time to time but the
stories about Ebenezer Slutch had also reached him and August, making Jimmy
doubt Ebenezer would like to see him.

"You know, August? I think I'm one of the reasons he turned out this way"
Jimmy said more than once.

But after his change Ebenezer went down to their office and asked to see
Jimmy. Together they had a long conversation in which everything was
patched up, although August was feeling a little uncomfortable. He was
afraid to loose Jimmy to Ebenezer. As soon as Ebenezer realized that, that
misunderstanding was dealt with as well.

"I loved Jimmy, but I love someone else now." Ebenezer said to August.

Still, Ebenezer and Jimmy became very good friends once again, until the
day Jimmy died when his car exploded after a huge victory on a religious
group.







And so it became Christmas Eve again, 59 years after the Christmas Eve that
changed everything. Ebenezer Slutch was 98 years old by now and had lived a
long and, specially the last 59 years, a rich life. But right now, he was
done with it. Trouble with living this long is that everyone you care about
dies before you do.

Tommy died at the age of 78 while being in Tim's arms, of old age. The
months living in the streets had cost him and his body just stopped
functioning.  Tim died several months later, not being able to live without
his husband.

As said, Jimmy and August had died long ago because of the bomb in their
car. But their deaths hadn't been in vain because finally people understood
what religious fanaticism could lead to. In the years that followed all
religious groups were made clear they had to abide the law or they would be
dismantled.

And two years ago tragedy struck Ebenezer once more when Bob Suckit died of
an heart attack. But this time Ebenezer didn't go in that uncontrollable
rage he had felt when Jacob Arsely had died He accepted it was Bob's time
but there was not a moment he didn't miss his life partner.



So, Ebenezer was pretty much with living. He thought it was time for him to
leave the earth as well. He needed to be with those he loved once again.

It became colder in the house and, for a moment, Ebenezer thought about
getting up to turn up the heat a little. But he decided against it. His
legs hurt so much after getting up for his chair and he really didn't need
that right now. Still, it became very cold and a shudder went through his
body.

All of a sudden he saw a man standing next to him and it took him a while
to see who it was. The last time he saw him he had looked differently,
that's for sure.

"Jacob Arsely!" Ebenezer said. "You look better than the last time I saw
you".

And that certainly was true. Last time Arsely had been dressed in a leather
thong, a SM-body armor and was suffering from eternal lust while several
chains, ropes and handcuffs had restrained him. Now he was dressed in a
nice suit, the lust driven from his eyes and his crotch while his steps no
longer caused him pain.

"Yes, Ebenezer. And I have you to thank for that" Jacob Arsely said. "By
saving you and inspiring you to do all those good things I also redeemed
myself. Still, there is one more thing I have to do before I can rest in
peace".

Ebenezer got up from him chair and walked over to Jacob Arsely.

"If it had anything to do with sending me on my way with three spirits you
have a nother thing coming, Jacob! I'm no longer able to do stuff like
that. I'm an old man now" Ebenezer said.

"No, Ebenezer. I'm here to guide you to the next world. Your time on earth
is over and your loved ones are waiting for you" Arsely said.

"But don't I need to die first before I can move on?"

"Ebenezer, how long has it been you could get up out of your chair that
easily? Or that you didn't need your cane to walk over here? Look behind
you." Arsely said.

Ebenezer did as he was told and saw himself sitting in the chair in front
of the television. He looked down at his hands and saw they were young and
strong again.

"Oh, Jacob! Am I finally going to see those I love again?" Ebenezer asked.

"Yes, my old friend. They are waiting for you" Jacob said.

"Than lead the way, my friend. I'm done here" and together with Jacob
Arsely Ebenezer Slutch walked towards a bright light that looked like the
sunrise.



Ebenezer's body as found the next morning by the nurse who came to give him
his pills and a bath. And he said he never saw someone who died with such a
content smile on his face.



THE END
