Of Mice and Men Epilogue
On their way to get a drink, George couldnt help but notice all their faces when they
look at him as if it were looks of pitifulness. Both George and Slim went alone to the
whorehouse to relieve their stress. But with everything that has happened, it was merely
impossible. George looked at Slim and said, I had to, I had to or else Curley It aint your
fault George. It had to happin sooner or later, replied Slim. The scene of George pulling the
trigger continuously played in his head throughout the whole night. His body remained
motionless. They continued to drink without making any contact. Les go George we have to
start bright n early tomorrow, claimed Slim. But Slim noticed his face and the number of
empty glasses in front of him so he softly said, Why dont you take tomorrow off, huh? You
had a purty rough day. Slim carried one of Georges arm over his shoulder and dragged him to
the bunkhouse to rest.
The next morning George woke up in the bunkhouse with no one but Candy in it. Candy
took notice that he was awake and came to sit on his bunk to comfort him. Im all alone now,
Georges word slurred a bit. No you still have us George, replied Candy. Georges face
remained blank. Say George, I already wrote up my will so all my money will be passed onto
you George, whaddya say?! claimed Candy. Its impossible Candy, I mean I said George.
You what? You should still try to get the fatta the land George. I mean isnt that all what
Lennie wouldve wanted? quickly replied Candy. Thats all he wanted to do. To tend them
rabbits cried George. He lifted the hand that pulled the trigger and it shook violently. With a

sadden look on his face, Candy softly reminded George, Remember what Carlson done said? If
they get shot in the back of their head, they wouldnt even know what hit them. Just like my ol
dog. You know Im getting closer to becoming useless to this ranch. I Im sorry Candy I just
cant think straight. I took the life of my best friend, said George. Candy left the room to start
sweeping. George remained motionless. Gosh darnnit, why didnt I run away with Lennie?
whispered George to himself.
Without any time passed by, Slim runs in the room and proclaims, Candy is dead!
Georges eyes widened. Wha How? replied George. He took his own life trying to work
them darn machines cried Slim. This cant be happinn to me softly whispered George.
George wait a minute. George walked out of the bunkhouse quickly snatching Carlsons luger
slowly wobbling into the woods. Without hesitation Slim goes after him Now George! You
come on back here! but he fails to catch up to him.
Arriving at the forest both George and Lennie spent the night at days before their
destination at the ranch. This place brings so many memries said George to himself. Time
stood still as George started to hallucinate. Come on George les go to that place now. Aunt
Clara and all them colorful rabbits is here suddenly Lennie proclaims. Were all waiting for
you here George, waiting for you so we could go get the fatta the land. Lennie... Lennie
youre still here? What you babbling about George? Come on Les go now! George chuckled
softly to himself. You fool, same ol Lennie. Come on George! And you can tell us about that
place again. Well thats alright Lennie, you see this place has a couple of acres. And I get to
tend the rabbits George. Hehe yes Lennie you get to tend the rabbits. Suddenly a picture of
Lennie petting the mouse came into Georges head. Lennie, remember where I said to go when
youre in trouble? It seems you remembered Lennie George smiled to himself. Yes George

Ive been in the brush waiting for you. You done good Lennie. You never was a bad person.
You didnt mean no harm. Youll get to tend them rabbits Lennie. Suppose we go to that place
right now? Why yes George les go to that place right now! Smiling, George lifted his hand
that shot Lennies head to his own and pulled the trigger.
