A Broken Soul!
He could hear everything, but dare not open his eyes... he'll just cover himself with a blanket and cover his ears. You might think he's afraid of ghost, but it's not.. his reality is scarier than ghost.
When his mom and dad are quarreling in the next room. This scenario always happens, mostly late at night because he's dad always comes home late.
Jacob is still young but he already understood that there's something wrong with his mom and dad as he always hears them quarrelling with each other, although in front him they don't quarrel but they don't talk much as well.
Whenever Jacob was at school he always envy some of his classmates that was sent by their parents, mom or dad because he didn't experience it. His mom is also working so they're only maid will be the one to sent him at school.
He also envy some of his classmates that had their lunch box prepared by their mom. He has his lunchbox too but it was prepared by his nanny. His nanny was good to him but he always craves attention from his parents as they are always busy.
Whenever both of his parents are home they don't do bonding as well because they are also busy with their laptop or gadgest and when he wants to play with them, they'll gonna say they have unfinished works to do.
But what saddened Jacob most is when he hears both of his parents always quarreling at night. Sometimes his dad comes home late and he'll hear his mom saying,
“Where we're you again this time? Over time at work? Come on, why don't you just admit that you had another woman!”
“Cynthia stop it! I'm so tired of your naggings almost every night! I can't take it anymore! Why don't we have divorse instead?!”
***
Poor Jacob, he doesn't understand what divorce means. He's still young, innocent and vulnerable.. his childhood was filled with fears from hearing his parents fights. He had parents but it seems love isn't in their vocabulary. He has roof over his head, a pleasant food to eat, and good clothing but he is broken inside.. he is a broken soul.
This is a fictional story derived from reality, mostly broken family are always producing broken souls.. souls of their child that they didn't manage to nurture as they are busy fighting with each other and does not think about their children sakes.
Jacob symbolizes the products of broken family, what they really wants and insecure with..to have a loving and complete family.
Maybe you're wondering why the story was short and seems it was cut, it's because I did it via The Most Dangerous Prompt Generator.
This is the prompt that I chose, I wrote for 5 minutes.. and that's where the time ended after Jacob's dad asking his mom to have divorse. The start again appeared, so I stopped writing and that was the end. The site will give you prompt, you just choose what you can pull off.
You can try this too, it's too cool. It will exercise your brain to think of your plot and type faster. Show your creative imagination with time limits.
