Chapter OneA Chapter by JenniferThe boy
Sebastion L. Wells was a unique boy. His teacher thought it was a little odd because he did not go play outside like the rest of the boys did. His parents were unsure what to think because he never helped on the ranch or helped around the house.
He vanished every chance he got. Nobody knew where he went. During breaks at school he was not on the playground. When his parents needed him to feed the horses he was nowhere to be found. His sister Nan was no help. She seemed to know something of his whereabouts, but she remained mum. As Ma cooked she looked over her shoulder at Nan. She turned and looked at Nan, "Have you seen your brother?" Nan shook her head. Ma looked at her with skepticism, "Are you sure? I could have sworn I saw you walked out with him this morning." "He told me that I couldn't go with him," her eyes innocently stared back. "Do you at least know where he is going?" she asked. Nan was silent. Ma sighed and dried her hands on her apron. "Something is wrong with that boy." "What's wrong with Sebastion, Ma?" Nan asked. Ma shook her head, "Nothing." Pa walked into the house. He sat down on the chair and set his hat on the table. He drummed his fingertips on the table. "Where's Sebastion?" he asked. "I wish I knew," Ma sighed and stirred the stew. He looked at Nan, "Can you please get your brother?" Ma slammed the spoon down and Nan jumped from the sudden noise. Nan sighed and stood. Pa shook his head and pointed at Nan. "None of that," he told her. Nan muttered, "Yes, sir." Nan walked out of the house. Pa sat quietly in his chair. He felt an angry gaze. He looked back at Ma. "What?" he asked her. "I was just asking our daughter where he was," she said. "She said that she did not know where he was." "Well, I saw them leave and only she returned," he said. "Need to learn to watch the kids." "Next time you see them going on another adventure you need to stop them and remind them of the chores they need to do before going anywhere," she said. © 2019 JenniferFeatured Review
