The room had a faint dull color to it as she walked through the door; she was used to this strange feeling since this was her apartment, and she hated it with all her heart. Her job as a cashier didn't work out well, and she barely got paid. All she could afford was a small one room apartment, with a table, bed, and phone. She hung out in the park most of her days, so she only went to her apartment to sleep and read the newspaper; she didn't have a television so that was all she could have for news.

She had just gotten home from a hard day at work, she worked double time to earn some extra money; she thought it was worth it at the time. The room still seemed dark when she turned on the little light above her to read the newspaper. She read it at night since she had no time in the morning to sit and relax with a newspaper.

Everything seemed normal; just like all the other newspapers. It had advertisements for all sorts of things that she had no interest for. As she scanned it for interesting information, she saw a strange ad with a farm on it.

Everything you've always wanted. This farm is for sale for cheap, and it's a one time offer. Want to live a easy relaxing life? Then come to Mineral Town and buy this wonderful farm. You even get your own dog if you call right now.

The number is: (275)-634-0098

"This is it!" She nearly shouted as she jumped for her small dusty phone; she wasn't going to miss a chance like this. A farm sounds simple enough, and completely worth it in the long run; choosing your own hours, relaxing by a river, playing with a cute dog. It was definitely worth it.

She dialed the phone number quickly on the phone and got an answer a few rings later, "Hello?" It was a man's voice on the other end.

"Excuse me; is that farm still for sale?" She crossed her fingers, hoping he'd say yes.

"Why yes it is, are you going to buy it?" His voice sounded cheerful; too cheerful.

"I'm thinking about it; I'll go to mineral town tomorrow to check things out." In reality she was already going to pack and quit her job as quickly as possible. She made her choice; she was going to start a new life.

"O-Okay..." His voice sounded a bit off after she said those words; the farm probably wasn't a good seller, since most people don't want to live happily. Their lose.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow, bye." She smiled widely as she hung up the phone, and squealed loudly. "YES!" She raised her fist in the air and started to dance around like a blonde idiot. Well, she was blonde after all.

She quickly fixed herself up and started packing her things, after that she was going to call and quit her job, and get her last paycheck of course.

This was so worth it.

This was so not worth it.

She stared in confusion as she looked at an old run down farm that looked like it was ready to fall to pieces in the next minute. The field looked horrible, it was full of stones, sticks, and weeds a ton of weeds.

"What is this?" She asked carefully when she knew the mayor was standing behind her. Her eye twitched as she took in the farm she had just bought with most of her money.

"T-This is the farm." Mayor Thomas shuddered as he looked down in shame. "We needed to sell it, so I put a good add in the newspaper." He sighed to himself when he knew what he did was wrong.

"I just spent most of my money, and quit my job. For this." She waved her arms towards the farm, showing how horrible it was.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." He backed up slightly, afraid she was going to snap and go crazy. Her left eye twitched.

"Maybe..." She trailed off looking at the farm again, "I'll just go with it." It looked horrible, but with work and determination, maybe she could have that relaxing life she had dreamed of.

Maybe...

"R-Really?!" Thomas squeaked as he took in the good news. "Great!" He looked like he was about to dance in victory and joy. "Want a tour of your new town?"

"Nah, I'm going to start on this farm, I'll look around myself." A grin went on her face; she could get a good workout with this much work. "Oh, and by the way, my name is Claire."

"Well Claire," he smiled brightly as he stepped back towards the town, "welcome to Mineral Town." It seemed nice to hear that; no one ever welcomed her to the city back where she lived.

Maybe this was her calling in life.

Maybe...
