Jacobs Narrative

Improved Essays
Jacobs jolts from this nightmare, now in his mid-thirties, rough shaven. He sits at the edge of the bed in boxers, shooting down a few pills with a sip of Jack Daniels.
He looks around his dim apartment with his gray curtains barely allowing the sunlight in. He stands up walking towards the bathroom, slapping on the television.
A reporter speaks about the fifteenth murder within the past three months as well as frequent, terrorist bombings around the city.
