    “Aaaaagh.”


    “Aaaaagh”


    Jacobs lay there on the ground unable to move, barely able to keep himself from passing out, as he lay on the floor his life was flashing before him, he reminisced on his childhood, when growing up he always had interests in making music and listening to it, working out, science and space sadly he was never able to follow his dreams in space, so he followed his second interest that begin science, he became both an inventor and a scientist.

    Upon this revelation, Josh gave a understanding look to Carl, then took a second to think about it, Josh had an epitome with an almost smug grin he commented.
