LIFE AND DEATH
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The car sped through the dark night, it's headlights flashing, warning the incoming traffic
The car sped through the dark night, it's headlights flashing, warning the incoming traffic. The car seemed out of control and took a sudden turn with screeching noise, the car broke the concrete barricade and fell on the other side of the gorge.
Pedro was a normal boy, a call center executive. His father, a retired bank manager, was a respected and disciplined man. Pedro was tired of listening to the people around him saying that he was not like his father. He had a small job with no future and earned very meager amount even after being well educated. His parents would advice him, complain him and sometimes even nag him to get a well respected job and get settled in his life as he is nearing the age of getting married. It is not that he did not try. But he was looking for a shortcut to become a rich man and show the people around him that he has a status of his own.
That was only a part of his life. He still had many issues to attend to. At the office, he was attracted to a girl, but due to his repeatedly changing attitude, he lost her. She waited for some days hoping that he would express his feelings towards her. But Pedro was busy in battling his own self and she left the job and never tried to contact him again.
Pedro kept on changing his job in search of a shortcut to become a rich man overnight. He lost many of his precious years in this manner and remained only an executive wherever he went. Often he would lie to his parents about getting a job in a descent company just to see them happy and enjoy respect for sometime. But in some days, his lie would make him suffer greatly. His parents loved him, but didn't trust him anymore. People around him took advantage of this and dominated him to an extent that he lost the confidence within himself.
He bagan thinking that his relatives are right about him and that he could never maintain his family.
After a couple of years, he was married to a girl of his choice and led a good life for some months. But due to his joblessness and irresponsible behaviourS, he lost respect in her eyes too. Whenever he tried and get a job, his parents, his relatives and people around him would dominate him saying that his job is too small and the pay is too meager. This in turn led him to lose the interest in the job. He became a good for nothing.
