Interesting story! I almost wished it was not a short story. So the tainted chalice is what? Whatever vial contained the drug which the three deceased persons shared? As usual, the flow in your writing is exceptional enough to keep one captivated till the end. well done!
I just gave a clue above, now you should be able to make the connection. I do not want to spoil the fun :)
I see what you did with the end. Cool way to end a story.
