His name is Jackson Bellow. He couldn't help thinking about how much damage a few words can cause while growing up. Especially, when those words come from your Father.

Jackson's relationship with his father, was always strained. He enjoyed belittling him in front of others. On rare occasions he would try to be nice. But this never lasted for very long.

He was so changeable, inconsistent. Confusing for a young child. To the outside world he was Mr Bellow charm itself.

One day, while making baby formula for his little brother, that turned out rather lumpy he was forced to to drink it.

In a Jekyll and Hyde manner in front of strangers he showed a different side to his character. Chameleon in nature.


On another day he summoned Jackson,
just the two of them. And he said,
to young Jackson "I don't like you" rooted to the spot in shock and feeling intimidated by a looming giant

Jackson wondered ... isn't this person suppose to love me? There was
very little rapport between the two
of them.

Young Jackson's spirit had been crushed as a youngster. Looking at his friends they seemed happy and carefree as young children.

Jackson could never understand why his Father despised him.

One thing for sure he grew up feeling resentment towards his father and at life in general.

Jackson found it hard to accept his Father's opinion of him throughout his life. He felt haunted by his childhood monsters
