Around the Fire

Whiny and depressed, James hated absolutely everything about his life, despite coming from a rich family. That was exactly where the problem lied; he loved his mom, but wouldn't have minded if he woke up one day to learn that his father had disappeared from the surface of the earth. Until then, James was only left with two options: wait and endure the insults, the humiliations, and the beatings or... leave. Not exactly an easy task when his mom adamantly refused to leave and when asking for outside help was basically akin to suicide. That was unless he met a group of strangers that wouldn't be capable of divulging his secrets.
