Herot Hall: A Short Story

Every couple of months I hear the shouts and laughs of thousands of joyful townspeople at herot hall. It looks like an exuberant time but I know I would never be accepted into herot for I am cursed. It's not fair! I have been shunned and excluded from all everyone and every occasion for something I didn't even do. My ancestor cain's actions should not effect me and how people treat me. So I walked to herot hall optimistic that they might have changed how they thought of me. Of course i was wrong and the yelled and tried to kill me.
