AC fan theory #5: the glasses cases you deliver are actually carrying cases for a mind-altering drug produced by nook to compete with the illicit turnip trade.
Lucky's POV
Someone knocked on my front door. This better be it, I thought. The pain was getting to be too much to bear, and I was all out.
I limped across my Egyptian-themed room and swung the door open. On my threshold stood Sergei, the human. In his hand, I noticed the glasses case. It took everything I had not to snatch it out of his hand right there.
"For you." Sergei said, holding out the case. I took it from him and slipped it into my pocket.
I thanked him quickly, and rather rudely, slammed the door in his face. It wasn't the poor two-legs' fault, of course, but I needed my fix.
I collapsed on the floor and took out the glasses case.
The case didn't really hold glasses. No, it held morphine.
A few years back, I was in a terrible accident. It caused most of my face to be burnt and severe brain damage. My therapist also said I had Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, causing me to burst into random spasms of pain. Since the accident, I'd done everything to heal myself: covered my disfigured face with bandages and moved to a new town, leaving my past behind. The kind shopkeeper in this small town, Nook, had gladly supplied me with the drugs I needed to deal with the pain.
I opened the case and drew out one of the many syringes. I rolled up my sleeve, poked the needle into my forearm, and pressed down.
I almost gasped at the sudden release the morphine provided me. I sunk back onto my thick rug, closing my eyes and letting the waves of drug-induced relief consume me.
Thanks to Tom Nook and his clever idea of the glasses case, I was almost able to live a normal life.
A/N: I don't know if morphine is "mind-altering", (since I've never tried it) but when I thought about this theory lucky sprang to mind. If you don't have him in your town, he's basically a dog wrapped up like a mummy. Bandages cover his entire face except for one eye, so I thought it'd be fun to make up a back story.
Anyway, so I'd appreciate any reviews and feedback on my writing, as I'm trying to improve it. As always, hope you liked it!
