Last Kiss is a story inspired by the 1964 hit song by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers, re-recorded by Pearl Jam in 1999. This song tells the tale of young love destroyed by a tragic car accident.
After hearing this song, the author started to wonder what could have happened after the terrible accident. Would the boy have ever got over the death of his sweetheart? Would he have written such a song as a tribute to his lost love? Last Kiss answers these questions and others as the author plays the what if game.
Last Kiss starts the premise of this story in an intriguing direction. What if the girl killed in the accident hadn’t really been the love of the boy’s life? What if she had just been one of his numerous conquests? What if this song was actually written by the boy’s cousin? How would the lives of these two individuals be forever changed by the tragic turn of events?
