Friday Fictioneer: The Betrayal

Sam watched his family, unnoticed from his perch outside the kitchen. He could see the dad giving the boy advice and the mom fixing their dinner. He loved these people. He had lived with them his whole life and he would never do anything to harm them. Obviously they didn’t feel the same way about him and it broke his heart. When he saw the Pest Control van parked out front he knew what he had to do.

Sam sent word to a cousin down south and packed his bags. Without saying goodbye he left the only home he had ever known.
