"King Capital" by Jullian R


In Brooklyn a boy was born, whose life dream was to spread a message, but that message was lost in his life of tragedy.  This boys name was Capital who grew up in New York and early in life he was witness to crimes, which was life in his neighborhood. Capital even lost his father to crime early in his life; so early he had a troubled life. Even with all these tragedies, he had music to help.

By the time Capital was in his teens he took music seriously, mainly rap he devoted his time learning the art and eventually mastering it. Capital had a different mind set then many people, he was infatuated with the number 47 which is an angelic number meaning peace and balance, mind you he was in high school so not a lot of people understood him and felt he was crazy.  Even though this didn’t have a lot of friends he had enough to call family. His small number of fiends all enjoyed to rap so they would freestyle and record on there free time, but they then took it seriously and made themselves a well known rap group in the area lead by capital.  One Capital’s best friend was actually of fan of Capitals music his name was Joey. Joey then became a prominent member of the Rap group.

Capital’s rap group started to catch attention with Capital’s message of peace and balance.  All the people in the group were talented, but the two that stood out were Capital and Joey. Capital took Joey under his wing and formed a big brother role for him. Joey then became better and better and started catching more attention from people and record deals. While Capital was still loved by many people, he really didn’t get as much attention as his partner. This really made Capital feel unwanted, but he was still happy for his friend.  Capital then continued to spread the message of peace and balance. At the time there was a deal going on with a record label and they were considering signing Joey and Capital, this was the chance Capital was looking for to spread his message on a bigger scale. The record label ended up signing Joey and not Capital. This devastated him, once again in his life he felt lost.

The deal was the straw that broke the camels back, to Capital felt he lost the chance to show the world what was most important to him. So on a cold December night, he climbed the record studio building that had rejected him. As he looked down on the bright beautiful city, moon lit in the distance and bible clinched in his hands tight, then as if time slowed down Capital walked to the ledge contemplating his next move. Capital closed his eyes knowing these were his final moments; he then jumped and took his life. A final note was found atop the building saying “The end.”

This is a great piece as you read you can feel potty for the character and as his life looks up feel that positive vibe then as he was left in the dust you can feel where the story is heading. With everything the character ,capital, built leading to his eventual success all suddenly passed him up for his partner he trained you can feel his sense of betrayal. This was a very creative story with an interesting plot. You also worded your story very well good job keep up the good work.

This was really sad, I wanted there to be a happy ending for him but this one left a larger impact. The plot was well done and alot told in not alot of words. Nice work!
