Danny’s Life

Danny was born to Sean and Elizabeth McCloud, in Glasgow, Scotland. He wasn’t the only child to make his appearance that cold and rainy morning.

The day was the coldest of the year and that year was the hottest in the history in Scotland. Nature was against Danny and his brother the way it can be for anyone who is not lucky—everything in nature can be out of balance.

The eldest twin Danny, the larger of the two boys, had been born two minutes and one second before Jeremy. It was as if they were one person, each was two halves of a whole, and no one could tell them apart, except that Danny was right handed and Jeremy was left handed. Danny inherited his mother’s peaceful nature and Jeremy was his father—aggressive, arrogant, and a thrill seeker.

Danny the leader would succeed at his endeavors because of persistence and hard work. Jeremy chose the easy path. He tried to take what Danny worked hard for—their mother’s love. Jeremy always succeeded in getting what he wanted from their mother, whether it was a kiss, or a new pair of shoes. Theirs were an intense rivalry. A love hate relationship lived among the boys. They were identical twins and each felt what the other experienced.

Danny’s and Jeremy’s mother, a quiet woman, who didn’t give much store to arguments, which was very much the father’s cup of tea. He argued about anything. If the food was put on the table too late, or his favorite shirt wasn’t washed for his night out with the boys at the pub. He would leave and return home the next day. Danny’s mother never said a word—she couldn’t; she wanted to keep peace for her boys.

Both boys watched as their father cursed at their mother. Maybe it was his job at the shipyard that made him so mean and surly? Danny wondered.

His father worked long shifts because jobs were hard to come by in Glasgow. Danny’s father was always angry. Maybe it was having two sons at the same time to feed that caused him to yell at Danny’s mother. Danny didn’t like when his father did this to his mother and would tell him so.

When he and Jeremy became fifteen, he noticed a change in his parent’s relationship. Their mother became silent and withdrawn and did not speak. Danny asked her about her feelings; she did not say a word; she just sat and stared out the window.

One day Danny and Jeremy came from school to find his mother packing. She told Danny that she was taking his younger brother, and that she would be back for him soon.

Danny waited and waited for her and Jeremy to return, but they never did. Danny asked his father to find her; he said he was happy that she wasn’t around. His father did not care that she had gone, but Danny felt the absence; it left a hole in his spirit.

Sadness overtook Danny, and he began to act out.
