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

Once through, I got my car keys and purse, then left my room.


On reaching downstairs, I met with my mother.


She looked at me from head to toe and folded her arms.


"Where are you going to?" she asked firmly.


"I told you to stop secretly going out with your sister's boyfriend."


"I'm not going to see him. I caught bigger fish. Now can you let me leave?"


"And can I know the bigger fish's name?"


Ace was just the type of young man my mom would lust after. I couldn't tell her.


"I'm am adult and what I do concerns me and only me. Who I go out with is my own business. Maybe I should think of packing out too, like Heather. Now if you'll excuse me." I walked past her and out of the door.
