I've Died a Thousand Times
six
Mother, I'm working in the castle like I promised. . .
Ezra sits between rose bushes, a simple sandwich in between his red, sore, and blistered hands. His entire small body was filled with exhaustion. Ezra wanted to take a nap, but he feared punishment.
His ears perked at the sound of a string instrument playing nearby.
After he gains the courage to find the source, he stumbles upon a boy around his age, playing a cello near one of the fountains. Further inspection of the boys clothes make Ezra realize he's the prince.
At this realization Ezra turns to make his way back to the castle but a voice stops him.
"Wait, will you be my friend?"
