Caius Mercer sat in front of his computer's screen and looked at the pictures carefully. He had a father? It was something out of a movie. Hadn't he just been praying last week, hoping that he would have a father who would protect him and his mother like other fathers? He repeated the name slowly in his heart, 'Erasmi Frost.' and carefully typed the words on his keyboard.
According to his mother, this man had been sick since the accident and so everyone had been told he was dead. How could this be? They must be lying to him. Was his mother lying to him? Did she want to send him away? Or maybe the man was a fraud! He had to be.
He'd heard all the gossip in the town about how she was sick and could die anytime. She had to be lying to him so that he would be safe from all these people who had been troubling them. But he wouldn't leave her, ever. She was his only family. And he was her only family.
