Write a story about a parent who realizes their child is pure evil.
Two-sided Swings
Jay, a child of 4 years, was on his weekend excursion to the nearby playground. The strange effect of the dusk that day was a yellow hue, that blew through the surrounding auras like a light with artistic pigment, and somehow because of the apporaching night, it was like half of the area on the playground had been chosen to be under straightforward darkness. So mathematical was this joke of half of the objects being obscured under darkness, and what could the literalness of this observation by the child specifically, mean, when he had already learned that the sky was lighted in a way decreed not by the crayon gods of Crayola's sky coloring activities, but by the seasons, the hours of the day and the night which were slightly related to sunrise and sunset. The night was dawning on these tired players, these calm children who repeated the backs and forths of the swing like equality in the seconds of the day torturing their young counting minds.
One day, Jay thought that he was a lot smarter than the other kids. This sudden maturity in thought ruling out the term child from any of his references nearby in mind and companion too that other children should all be dumber than him because of this sudden realization, no it could not be called a realization of before light and after darkness with a specific reason. The action and decision of what he was came together, these two pieces of cataclysm and pervasive, outwardly pervading harm surging together like fate and not a childish excited feeling; Jay did not want to become a child. When he had heard from a story so magnificently obscene in culmination with the subject of, "a child smarter than all others," he had to take it and be it, and when he stomped on through many previous stumbles without clear count in his waking soul when he was quietly listening to this narrative of the best, best idea in his opinion, happening in real life through fiction, he was positive, that this was not inspired by a child whose genius was truly horrifying and capable through intention of transpiring through his own motives, and doing something that could be recorded as magnificently, [insert word here for genius to the maximum degree, of worth, unprecedented IQ]. It was then that he started choking actively, with the awakened desire to be that one. But he was evil, and so this identity was swapped to be the lower of the relative of those around him.
Bobby was a very quiet child; however, according to theimagination and creativity in his mind, he was the most brilliant child ever. This year, he was attending kindergarten, the first year when school results and participation became very crucial, that he had to succeed. His greater smarts were somehow seeped into Jay to become known to his prowess which, undeniably, looked so great and had to mean something even to the small-minded, petty sensitive and ever-jealous to snatch Jay. Jay decided to trade his crayon merits and perfectly symmetrical artworks, for an advantage over Bobby. Without the logistics, the evil of what little Jay did could be summarized with idea and effect.
He sabotaged the basic learning skills of Bobby so hard, that the word for blue was exchanged for the indication of the sky itself. He hoped that the sky would mean just blue to the poor child, of course, when it actually was blue as blue was the color in the sky’s entirety, but color was not a describable portion in the sky’s existence and entity, as the entirety of the global and local morning sky was. Jay because of this plan was very perceptive in a way that clearly called to unlimited and uncertain ways to be latched on to, what some have decided to call, a child genius. However, Jay, as part of his evil, was still small-minded and lacking in intuition. What does that mean more than a casual statement? Well, extrapolating the lack in intuition to decidedly infer the comfort to do evil in exchange for unrewarding justice, well, in every department of civility and the childhood boredom decreed by the early days school, and secuity nebula of parents, in this way, there was nothing to suspect deeply about another state of human nature, or hibernation of something terrifyingly enrapturing, meaning primarily, genius or evil, and wow could that unravel in confidentially negative clarity, when the time could come where both were exerted on the same platform.
Jay was a straight A student so far, and rightfully so. That was a statement he actually uttered with the meaning stuck between his teeth, clenched in mid air by the tooth fairies he believed were visiting his bedroom for real, real or fake, he was sure that the money under his pillow was a real tribute to his perfection in mouth spoken words, each sentence in perfect, complex grammar, and in this attainment, he had no worries about acquirements later in life after being without error in his mental exertions, as correctness was a possession not a state of being challenged with weakness. Pertaining to Jay, weakness of child, or weakness of his young and individual specific temperament was virtually unexplored. Dinosaurs and T-rexes, when this was brought up Jay’s correspondence was stationary, whether they were real or not failed to rival the fact that they were green; not that they had to, but they floated like green slips of paper in the upright board of, let’s simplify the lack of appearance moving on to lack of extraction into making dinosaurs debatable, or on the other hand, dinosaurs being a childish thing that could be moved on in the upper grades as a different kind of affection and enthusiastic interest in, yes, this was it, that Jay’s bearing as a person was filled to the brim with jealousy and targeting towards a peer nearby. A boy who was older and bigger, because, and not because without the following phrase, he was next to Jay. Bobby was next to Jay and happened to be in the same school to cause this adjacency, when the lack of imagining the opposite, that this configuration could have been caused by Jay swooping up next to Bobby instead of Bobby waking up, taut and wide eyed in the sunlight, next to Jay himself who was calmed down in the day with young daring neither positive nor negative, because Jay was in his mind’s eye, a marvel in acting with a forcefulness in ideas so quietly fascinated and confident in self worth, ironically from the ability to impart powerfully influential ideas at this rate, and never engaging in vulnerable stereotypes of duplicity, such as the literary addict blowing through words and uncertain ways of speaking and being not seen for self nor seen for others, just to be that vulnerable literary, and pose oneself in flagrant antithesis to the logistical operator, person indeed like this hope G-d forbids, and takes monetary matters into a separable constituent of life quality, and dependence on the entirety of future, this sentimentality of materialism is what Jay though in terms of words in his mind, he already recognized this recurrence between the children’s personality, which gave him a bird’s eye view. He wanted to be a young deity.
Jay knew that Bobby was both smart and cunning, and instead of believing that when cunning preceded the intelligence, or even smarts of a particular, (singular) brain in might, it would delude someone into recklessness and hot thinking. That was what Bobby came up with in his essay, which made him the great envy of Jay who never thought clearly preacher-like complex sentence, a verbosity that could so well transform into an untested phenomenon, whose unbelieved quality was that it was unlikely in life as cunning was not to intelligence as a smaller and younger person to the didactic acronym that broad intelligence is kindly loving and also kindly efficient in accustomed manner. Bobby was like a really healthy kind of radiance, and didn’t foresee that malice, calling it worthwhile in life wasn’t even, wasn’t even it for Bobby, the big mind with eloquence surpassing all kids in the world, that was one of the dangers of the world. So let’s list 2 examples of what jealousy made Jay do to Bobby, to unfurl the exasperated respiration he enlisted into Bobby’s indomitable rhetoric.
1. Changing the “last” in last name to equate with lasting so that Bobby would be instilled with a quiet and submerged paranoia that the last name is not going to be unlasting and lasting like faded paper in water wetter and dryer by natural processes, except that the naturally direct effect was done by Jay’s manipulations and naturally occurring because of tandems with terrifying life milestones changing more than the name.
2. Making the three backwards in some scratch paper Jay strongly tempted from other’s state exams. Making Jay somehow think practicing threes backwards was somehow a convention Iike the abbreviation Qed to be a sort of “and,” afterwards, to say the preceding group in idea was associated to the previous after it was completely written, to shrivel down Bobby’s wonder in developing foresights in simple conventional ideas as a necessity of his own education and humanities’ development. However, this was extremely convoluted and did not have the effect at all that Jay thought of, just that Bobby’s mental processes were too early too unconventional, and too much questioning to entities which were fact.
At dusk, Jay arranged for a disreputable adult to lead Bobby after school to the desired destination: a hidden park in the neighborhood, it was all rusted over, green and red colors mixed in with a broken-in copper quality.
The lighting was yellow over the surface area of the play structure. The shadows were either black or brown, depending on the original color of the surface, Jay thought. The linear set of four swings was the determined setting for the next life-threatening showdown. On the right side, the rightmost swing was cast under the yellow light. Jay motioned to the one bright swing and the other three in the darkness. “Pick the light or the dark ones.” Bobby chose the swing that was in the light. “Would you rather,” Jay continued, “realize your friends were actually all animatronics, or be sucked into the form of an animal with current conscience for a day?” Bobby was confused, but Jay motioned to the chains on the swing that for his freedom, he had to answer with the needed passion and participation to win his freedom, which currently belonged to Jay. “The first,” replied Bobby after a long thought. “You need to explain,” said Jay. Bobby replied, “well, I think my friends are who they already are, and if they are animatronic then be it because my lack of depth and interest is relieved from needing to find more about the robots.” Jay:” Would you put your reason in the light or the — is your though light or darkness?”
Bobby: “light?” Jay: “then I will provide the dark reason. You lack imagination. The truth is that these were real people punished into animal suits and a robotic functioning for unthinkingness which prevented informed moral choices, and you failed to save these souls from lack of awareness of human capacities”. (Could the darkness be that the reason was dark in itself because of human abilities being hidden and people not knowing about the misfortune?) The darkness like the sky had limited capacities and duration, and his place in the light was fading just like his erectness in the swing seat was loosening in the body. The swing pushed forward and Jay ordered a reply with count down. He had to reply with a light answer or else he would be cha
