Opening the apartment door,I stepped in and went to the table where I put my newspaper early this morning before leaving.
I picked up the paper and read intently,my dark saphire eyes scanning the pages eagerly until freezing at one artical.
It seemed absoulutely perfect! This is what I had needed so deperately!
"Want a New and Exciting Farm Life? Then call now!"
I glanced scribbled down the number and quickly went to the phone.
"Hello? Is this the realator selling the farm?" I asked,unable to hide the eagerness in my voice.
"How much are you selling it for?"
"Mmhmm...okay...sure!"
I quickly payed soon after the phone call and already started packing my belongings.
I was going to have my very own farm!
A week later I arrived at a small dead looking farm.Weeds,boulders,and broken tree branches covered the un-kept feilds,the grass growing extremely high,and the log cabin that sat on the property was in ever worse conditions that I could ever imagine!
A booming deep voice came from behind me,I jumped and turned to see a rather chubby looking man who had dark brown hair and a bushy mustache.He wore odd clothing,very much different than what I had come used to in the city streets.I smiled lightly,an embarrased shade of pink covering my pale cheeks.
"Hmm...are you a tourist?"he asked,raising an eyebrow.
I let out a small breath,"No sir.My name is Claire.I just bought this property...I think..."
The man,to my surprise burst into a rowr of laughter."You...HA! Fell for another...ha,ha! Realator tick! He,hee,this farm has been abandoned for years! Everyone's left who've seen it.But you fell for it too! Ha,ha,ha!"
My teeth gritted together in frustration,unable to even control myself over blinding anger I got a shovel from near-by and slammed it as hard as I could against his foot.
The man yelped and hopped up and down on his un harmed foot,"Ouch! Ouch! Please don't hit me again!"
After a few minutes of explaining,we both introduced eachother and I figured out that I had hit the mayor.
Could this get any worse?!
"Oh...so you quit your job and moved out of the apartment you lived in...well,this house can still be live able! And the land only needs a bit of care,why don't you stay and try it out for a bit?"Theodore suggested,smiling carefully.
"I guess..."I mumbled,sweeping a bit of blond hair that fell infront of my eyes.
Theodore nodded enthuiastically,"Wonderful! You can meet all the other townspeople and make new friends here.If you need any help feel free to call me."
And so ended my first day at Mineral Town...
