dont worry bout your chair mate!!!

This is an attempt to write a short story.. do let me know about your views on this!!

Mr. Jason White, just a few moments ago, wanted to get to the chair he thought he truly deserved. 

Oh am sorry. Mr. Jason White is a hardworking engineer who has been working with Power Solutions for more than eight years now. He has never missed a day of work, and never has he been late for it. His wife and two kids sometimes yearn for his time, only if he could find some. Finally, he has taken them out for a vacation. It’s a packaged trip through a tour operator though, as he didn’t have time to plan it, but hey, the family is not complaining. The only thing that’s on their minds is to have fun. 

Jason had only a week off. Five days had been over. He was thinking about the latest project that he had completed in such a short span of time that it was a record of sorts for the company. He was expecting a promotion, but feared that Mr. Sibil Jones might get it, by the virtue of being his partner in the project and more vociferous about his achievement. 

Jason was thinking about all the wonderful things he can do with a promotion, ensuring the best of education for his two children, and a healthy lifestyle for his wife, who never complained, but always wished that her husband made a little more money than he did now. He thanked god for making him get his family on a trip, and for choosing such a wonderful package, with all families out together.

 He was lost in thought when Jonathan, his 4 year old son shouted,’ C’mon dad, you gotta move!’ He gave a look around and then started walking again. All the eyes were suddenly focused on him as the time started to move too slowly. The beats took a fraction longer than usual. Jonathan was trying to go past him. They were the only two left. And then it stopped. The music stopped playing. Jason was in front of the empty chair when Jonathan reached him. With one glance at the son, the other at the chair, he moved aside and let Jonathan sit. He was happy to see his child declared as the winner. 

Oh am sorry again but did I forget to mention that the tour operator had arranged a game of MUSICAL CHAIRS!
