Silent Night, Broken Mind

Prologue

“Mama, it’s Christmas Eve!” little Jerry reminded her.

“Shut up, boy! Christmas is for sissies! This family doesn’t celebrate Christmas!” his mother screamed at him.

“But, Mama!” little Jerry cried.

“Oh, just shut up and go to your room, now! I can’t deal with your whining!” Jerry’s mother yelled.

Devastated, Jerry ran to his room crying. Christmas was his favorite holiday, and every year since Jerry could remember had been the same. No presents under the tree. In fact, there was never even a tree. Jerry hated going back to school after Christmas break, hearing his friends talk about all the great Christmas presents… new toys… new clothes… they received for Christmas, gushing about what great families they all had. And all Jerry could do was listen to it and get sad… really sad; to the point his mother put him in a mental institution years later.

When Jerry was about twenty-five, the institution decided that Jerry was well enough to go out on his own into the real world.

A Light at the End of the Tunnel

Chapter 1 Reid was so tired of his job and the hassle of having to go to work day after day. He resented having to live paycheck to paycheck; but he resented even more, having to miss his wife, Tara, and their children, Jared, 10; MIcah, 7; and little Brianna, 4. It seemed as if he was missing more of their lives more and more everyday. His job at Cramer Industries was becoming more demanding and Victor Cramer was the boss from hell. He desperately wanted something more for him and his family, but he felt life had dealt him this lot in life, and he was afraid he would just have to settle for what came his way and learn to live this non-exixtent life. He felt he would never be able to fully support Tara and his three children. Although miserable, Reid accepted this part of his life. Then, one beautiful summer day in late June, Reid had just checked his mail, for the usual bills, when he suddenly noticed a strange letter in his mailbox. It was a letter from an attorney, Brando...
