Jacob is definitly not what he seems. One of my favourite devices for shorts like this is that internal monologue. Its directed at self reflection and you really get to the heart of a character and see all their flaws and ego at play, which made it perfect for this.
I love 1st person since you only know exactly what the character knows and wants to tell you. Unfortunately most of what I write doesn't work with it, but in this case, it was the only perspective to write it from. :)
Thank you elecy. I love 1st person, but remembering you can only tell what the character can know can be tricky, that's for sure. In this case, that was easy since he is the only character. ;)
