Creative Story : A Short Story

Similarly, Jake keeps looking back in his past and resents the time's people have wronged him, particularly his father. The narrator states that “He [father] had a way of making it harder for me [Jake]” and how “always when I [Jake] was around him[father] I did things to make me ashamed”(35). So instead of learning from his past and his father’s shortcomings he latches onto them and does the same with his daughter and family. This demonstrates Jake’s unforgiving nature and how he has trouble accepting his former and current life. Throughout the story Jake is shown to be irresponsible as he spends his wife’s support check getting drunk, he constantly comments on everybody’s negative nature but never seems to embrace their positive side. He is heedless of his daughter’s life and is seen when he asks her how school is and she replies by saying that “It’s holidays”. Jake is an ironic character in the way that he doesn't like to communicate with people but he works as a salesman, he wants people to remember him but he keeps doing things that would make one forget him. Jake is very morose and has suicidal thoughts, one instance is when he thinks of his beer bottle as a gun. “His hand taking the gun to his mouth because he had nothing left to say and no reason to go on living”. Jake’s telephone symbolizes a choice, he can use the phone to reach out to people or have it disconnected which would mean him giving into his solitary life and perhaps commit suicide. But things seem to change when Jake has to save his drowning daughter’s life and he himself has a near death experience while trying to save her. This causes Jake to have an epiphany and rethink his approach to life, he decides that the time has come where he has to choose between hiding behind his telephone or using it to reach

The garage door then opened and he drove the car in and shut the door behind him.

After about 30 minutes he heard a creak of an old door. Then he saw something in the tall grass. It was white and had a knife in his hand.

The morning started off like any typical Monday morning, cold and gloomy. Jake got up at 6, brought Eloise to the babysitter, put Jax in the backyard, and was at work by 8.

But again they were stopped by a loud scream coming from behind them. The scream was familiar to them but they couldn’t remember why. They look in the distance and spot a man running from a big horde of zombies. It was Tony and he was running right at them leading the what seemed like endless horde of zombies right at them. John pulls his blade gun back out and fired a blade straight into the crowd not caring if he hit Tony or not. Tony ducks and the blade takes out tens of zombies with the one shot. But it didn’t make any difference, the zombies didn’t slow down and with only two shots he never would be able to clear them. Jackie hurries and opens the gate and they run inside. They hold the gate open waiting for Tony. Tony dives into the gate getting scratched on the leg in the process. John helps Tony up while Jackie tries to close the gate. Zombies pushed their way into the gate holding it open a small bit. Tony gets up and helps Jackie try and close the door but too many zombie arms are blocking the way to shut it

Jake realized that he was nearing the limit of his fleeting life and felt a wave of nausea hit him, but even this feeling was short-lived and was interrupted by the sound of knocking. By this point Jake couldn’t have even dreamt of answering the door but still attempted to call out to them but could only work up a meekly wheeze that was barely audible. He realised that this was the loan sharks who were at the front door from the knocking pattern that they had. Jake had listened to them knock several times and had picked up their habits, this person knocks using the back of his fist and usually knocked five or six times sequentially with a two second break between each set. Jake laughed at his weird hobby but cringed in pain as his laughter shifted the table from resting on an already numb place on his body
