Dismal Serenity

Jim Bob Jones was a very disturbed man. He planned a trip to Dave and Buster’s for himself so that he could stuff his face full of food and play games with nobody there to annoy him. However, some of Jim Bob’s acquaintances wished to accompany him. Jim Bob tried to deny their request, but they were very persistent. Therefore, Jim Bob gave in and off to Dave and Buster’s they went or so they thought. Along the way, Jim Bob decided that he was not going to Dave and Buster’s. Across the border he drove, the Canadian Flag majestically waved through the air, but none of the passengers seemed to be aware of their location. As the hours went by and the night became darker, everyone wondered why they had not arrived at their destination. They saw moose run amuck and realized that they were far from home. The sound of water started to emerge from the unknown. Jim got a devious look upon his face as he slammed on the gas. Panic occurred, pervading the vehicle. Before the passengers could take caution, it was far too late. The car was in the Montmorency Falls. As the automobile became engulfed in water, Jim smiled a sick smile because that was how Jim wished to depart due to the fact that his very own parents had met their fatality at that very spot. Jim’s parents were driving home with Jim sound asleep in the backseat. They took their eyes off the road for an instant to bask in this glorious moment and before they knew it, they were immersed in the falls. However, Jim had survived. He had cheated death. When help arrived, they could only save one of them. Jim’s parents risked their lives to save his. That decision, in itself, drove Jim mad. He cursed that day for as long as he lived, believing that it was his fault that his parents were dead. The agony had finally got the best of Jim. As he was drowning, Jim became at peace for the first time since the unfortunate incident. Jim Bob Jones finally reached serenity.
