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 had a heavy lump in my throat. I was so angry with Heather. How dared she? Because of that Shirley! She had no fucking right to leave.


I sat on my bed that morning, thinking. Heather could be really annoying at times. I thought and thought of something that could get my mind off Heather.


Oh yes, Ace! I had dinner with him that night at his apartment. Yes. I smiled to myself. I needed to buy a sexy and beautiful dress. I had all day to do that.


My phone's ringing tone woke me up at nine in the morning. I got up with heavy eyes. I'd been so drunk the last night that if my phone hadn't rang, I would sleep till noon and more.


Without seeing who was calling me, I picked the call.


"Sorry, cutie. I just wanted to tell you that, well, I'm kinda excited about our dinner tonight."
