Black Holes: A Narrative Fiction

“Ever since mother passed, they have been treating me horribly!” He complained to the horse whom he is feeding, then turns to his beloved bloodhound, Bruni, and she barks cheerfully at him. He thought back to how everything happened before. He lived with his mother, Jenny, Stepfather, Christopher, and bossy stepbrothers, Adam and Dustin. Asher’s mother came down with an illness not long after she married Christopher. Asher would take care of her every night, tending to her ever need. Shortly, Jenny passed away and Asher was left to his stepfamily. Asher hears yells of excitement from inside and snaps to reality, walking towards the house. He walks inside and into the kitchen. He hears them in the dining room, “The ball! The Princess is to find …show more content…
Asher winces and goes off to find the cat who despises him, and anyone but Christopher. He eventually finds her, under Adams bed. He goes to grab her and his hand is bitten.

Asher smiles and nods, jumping into the carriage. By the time they arrive it is nine o’clock.
