Author’s Note

Throughout the story I felt that I would rush the story in alot of parts. While the ending may be rushed due to a lack of time (it was for a school hw grade) and I know it isn’t really a “Short Story” I hoped you enjoyed it.

Something that may be interesting for you to know was that this story was already edited 3 times by 3 different people allowing you to see exactly how bad my grammar is.

The title of the story “The Puppeteer” was used because I felt that while Lucas controls the people around him like puppets, no one can see the pain and sadness on the face of a Puppeteer. The Puppeteer is always hidden behind the stage where the audience can’t see his suffering. Only Henry an audience member that wasn’t controlled like the puppets could try to go and see the true face of the puppeteer healing Lucas’ hidden wounds.

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Names are also important in the story because names symbolize who you are. Lucas is one name that is important because his name means Light. While this may seem ironic because of his actions, can’t this name be seen as Lucas seeking to be in the light despite being tossed into darkness by his experiences. 

The name Henry means “rules his household” this is usually a royal name so I thought that this was fitting because a good king can change those that interact with him. Since Henry was the one who changed Lucas slowly from elementary school days to high school isn’t that a sign of a king leading their people ,the ones they love, on the right path. Thank you again for reading this story. I hope that you enjoy this short story.
