The Nest Egg

Jacob never knew he was sitting on a nest egg. Years bouncing around trying to make ends meet while climbing the corporate ladder. Finally making a decent salary and yet he still couldn't find that sweet spot for financial stability. His father always told him to create and protect a nest egg. No matter how much money you made, you had to have that damned nest egg. But every time he started to build it; something came up and ate every last bit. The new roof. Medical bills. A new car. Now this pregnancy and remodeling the house for a "proper nursery." And all the while, that little black book sat in a box in the attic. The only real legacy left by his father. A wasted inheritance and a waste of space.
