From Happiness, to Nothing, to Better Than
Before

I checked my clock again. 7:00. In 15 minutes I would be able to leave work.
After graduating from college, I found a job as a game tester in Petalscale City. I fought the bloodiest battles, raced to most challenging races, and bent my brain over backwards in the most confusing puzzles before they even were shown on a store shelf.
I whirled around in my swivel chair and then turned back to a solitaire game I'd been working on since 6:00.
When it was 7:15 on the dot, I leaped out of my chair and scooped up all of my stuff into my duffle bag.
I ran out of my office after shutting down my computer and headed out of the door.
My apartment was only a few blocks away so I walked home.
When I stepped inside of my room, the fresh aroma of pine needles filled my nostrils. I threw my bag down and went to the refrigerator to find myself some dinner.
I fished out a microwave dinner and heated that for a quick repast.
I sat in front of the T.V. while I ate. Cartoon network is always fun to watch so that's what I did.
After that I went to bed.
The next morning, when I woke up, Dad was hanging over me.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" I screamed and I pulled the covers over me.
Dad scowled. "You were supposed to be ready to go an hour ago!!"
"Ready?" I asked. "For what?" Dad scowled again.
"You don't remember!?!? You don't remember that Grandpa died?!?!?!" he questioned furiously.
"Of course I remember!" I argued.
"You were supposed to take over the farm!!" Dad yelled. "You inherited it!"
"What!?!?!?!"
"Get ready!! You have to meet the ferry in and hour and a half!" I scrambled out of bed and showered.
"I will take care of your apartment room." Dad explained as I pulled my overalls on and screwed my blue and orange cap on backwards over my chestnut colored hair.
I hurriedly packed suitcases and Dad checked his watch. "C'mon Drew!! 45 minutes!!"
I tossed stuff randomly into a case and slammed them shut.
Dad was tapping his foot impatiently as I ran up to him with three suitcases bundled up into my arms.
He helped by carrying one and we ran out the door.
"25 minutes." Dad mumbled as we rushed down the road.
Finally I could see the harbor getting closer and closer.
White sails hung in the deep blue sky and dirty water splashed around at the dock.
I threw my suitcases on board and leaped in along with them.
I stood up and saw someone letting the ropes that were tied to the boat go.
I waved to my Dad and called "Goodbye Drew!!!!!!!!"
I waved back until I couldn't see him anymore.
When I turned around I was already starting to feel seasick.
I grabbed my suitcases and went to the nearest cabin to sleep.
~Many Hours Later~
I woke up and stretched.
As I looked around the room I saw my suitcases in the corner..and my alarm clock smashed on the floor!!!!!
I sprang out of bed and grabbed my stuff.
When I got the deck, I could see that the boat was leaving a small beach.
That was the beach from Grandpa's town!!!!!! I threw my suitcases like Frisbees and they landed in the sand.
Then I leaped off of the boat, hoping to reach the dock. I didn't.
Instead I fell into the salty water and was swallowed up by a large wave, made by the boat.
I struggled and struggled to get back up. No luck.
Then a soft hand grabbed my wrist and started to pull me up...p #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#
