I liked the way you wrote this one. I assumed Jacob committed suicide, since he "died" but he just got married!! :) This was different because Jacob was the described from a male perspective, he was that guy everyone wished they could be but didn't have the guts to be. Jacob didn't care about the norm...so now they are all confused that he is doing something so normal! I liked the ending where the narrator is like he was supposed to figure it out for us, then he realizes maybe he did!! Very deep! Oh that was cool!! I liked the way you wrote this one.

The way you describe Jacob reminds me of a person with Autism. Very good ending, you know I was expecting they were at his funeral. The way you describe Jacob reminds me of a person with Autism.
