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

He took care of going to the industries to tell the workers there about the new plan and situation.


I smiled to myself and waited for karma to begin.


In the afternoon, Sawyer entered my office. I looked at her without saying a word.


"Hey handsome," she smiled and sat down. I stared at her without answering, without smiling. She stared at me, confused.


"Why– why are you looking at me like that? Why aren't you smiling?"


I don't have to force myself to smile with you. That's for the moment.


I was gonna be nice with her only  when necessary.


"Not just in my mood," I replied dryly. She looked at me surprised.


"Oh, okay. M– mom is calling you," she stammered and stood up.


Still confused with my reaction, she left the office.


I followed closely after and left, heading for Christina's office.


I reached and knocked. She asked me to come in.
