Aaron Burr - Adventurer

Scene Description

Aaron Burr stood silent in his French, silk shirt. His damp palm slid hard against the smooth, wood handle of the gun as he sought the hammer. The insanity of the time, place, and purpose of the here and now flooded his mind.

Inner Conflict

If I am killed this day, all of my dreams, schemes, and aspirations of expanding the borders of the United States will be dashed upon the rocks of historical stupidity. If I kill Hamilton, it will be the same. I will be a marked man and just as politically dead.

Historical Reflection

History will say that the man who could have followed Thomas Jefferson as President of the United States allowed pride and arrogance to steal his destiny.
