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 immediately closed a laptop that was in front of him.  He stared at me, expressionless.


"You. And I'm not leaving this office until you give me what I want."


Sawyer was one of the ninety nine problems I had to solve. She was a real glue pot.


"Sawyer, I've been clear with you, I have a girlfriend, that I love."


"You're not just leaving me, Ace. You're not!"


"What? Were we together in the first place?" I stood up, "Sawyer, leave my office. Don't make me force you."


"Ace, you would have to, cuz I'm not moving an inch! Don't you understand that I love you??"


"That's enough! Out!" I grabbed her arms and started leading her to the door.


"Wait, wait, wait!" she screamed and got out of my grip .


"If you won't be with me then give me one last kiss. Please. And I promise never to bother you again."
