I'm Sheridan Wesley. I'm eleven years old. I've always lived with my dad. He's the only person I've got. He loves me and I love him too. But soon our lives changed. Mine especially.


It was a sunny day in Blueville, a rural small town not far away from Tennessee. The kind of place where everyone knew everyone. My dad was one of the most popular and well-liked people of Blueville. He owned vast land and a big ranch.

I always loved working with him. I loved the farm life. I knew how to ride horses, milk cows, make butter, plant seeds and harvest crops. I was well loved by all my dad's employees and well known too by the people of the town. I was the little boy who always gave a helping hand.

The Last Laugh

I got up from sleep due to the loud ring of my phone. Exhausted, I stretched out and picked my phone. It was an unknown number. I picked it up.


"Present." I was still sleepy and didn't realise a lot about the moment.


"You start work on Monday Mr. Stonewall."


"You've been given the job at P.W. See you Monday."


"Really? Thanks." I hung up and went back to sleep. Because of tiredness and sleep, I hadn't realised that the news I'd just received was a very good one.


I woke up some hours later. I got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom to clean up.


After a fresh bath, I wore my boxers and jeans the hung my shirt over my shoulder.


I went downstairs and got myself some coffee.


The day seemed to be a beautiful one. I sipped some coffee and walked to the kitchen's window to admire the outside.
