Nothing in life came easy for Jacob Moon, beginning with the circumstances surrounding his birth. Born February 29th during one of the worst storms to hit the east coast in decades, the unborn baby struggled for his life. The doctor and the midwives were challenged by his breach birth but with their skilled help, he finally took his first breath. Despite his father's initial concern, Jacob soon developed into a strong and healthy baby. Abandoned by his mother at an early age, Jacob became a worry to his father whose work often took him away for long periods of time. Not wanting the boy to be left alone, he employed a woman to tutor and look after little Jake. She became the mother figure in his life and assumed full responsibility of the child after his father's unfortunate death. Perhaps it was Jacob's difficult beginnings which shaped his view of the world, for he soon learned the power of wealth and social prominence. Quick with his fists, he would defend himself or those he believed to be unfairly matched or picked on. It was this defining characteristic which led to his sudden and mysterious disappearance. To locate Jacob, Whash, his longtime friend, searched out and confronted the man he believed to be responsible for Jacob's vanishing. In a struggle, the man lay mortally wounded and, as Whash questioned him about Jacob, the man looked up at him; smiling, he said, When they're gone, they're gone. Thus, the reader is left with the question: Whatever happened to Jacob Moon? COVER WORDS (about 190 -200 words) Nothing in life came easy for Jacob Moon, beginning with the circumstances surrounding his birth. Born February 29th during one of the worst storms to hit the east coast, the unborn baby struggled for his life. The doctor and midwives were challenged by his breach birth but, with their skilled help, he finally took his first breath. Abandoned by his mother at an early age, Jacob became a worry to his father whose work often took him away for long periods of time. Not wanting the boy to be left alone, he employed a woman to tutor and look after little Jake. She became the mother figure in his life and assumed full responsibility of him after his father's unfortunate death. Perhaps it was Jacob's difficult beginnings which shaped his view of the world, for he soon learned the power of wealth and social prominence. Quick with his fists, he would defend himself or those he believed to be unfairly matched or picked on. This defining characteristic most likely led to his sudden and mysterious disappearance. To locate Jacob, Whash, his longtime friend, searched out and confronted the man he believed to be responsible for Jacob's vanishing. In a struggle, the man was mortally wounded and, as Whash questioned him about Jacob, the man smiled and said, When they're gone, they're gone. Thus, the reader is left with the question: Whatever happened to Jacob Moon?
