Strange Place by Leighton Jappa
The sun is beaming and beautiful. This place is strange, but often nice. I still am lost on how to do lots of stuff here, but I will learn over time. This place is really strange, more than normal, but we’ll get to that in a second. I saw this guy on the streets. He looked really frightened, but I gave him a couple of dollars and kept it pushing. Maybe he’s just a little shook because of the storm that came through. He probably just wasn’t ready for it. Now that I think about it, I have no more friends. I left them all when I moved here, but there’s always phone calls, right? Hopefully I don’t end up a social outcast because I can’t find any people to talk to or stay cooped up in my house. Speaking of being cooped up in the house, I’m gonna go out and go for a walk to see if I can study the area. I wonder what people do for fun around here. I have all these questions, but no answers whatsoever. Maybe I’ll be able to meet somebody that can show me around or I can find a town map or something. I return home, eat and clean then get on my computer to do some research on this new place I moved to. Weirdly, I can’t find anything on this place besides the same old raggedy town map that I can’t use because it’s sooo old. Now I’m gonna tell you about me. My name is Jace Blackwell and I’m gonna tell you some things about me so you can get to know me better. I like the colors black and red. My hobbies are video games and culinary arts. I like to cook, mainly because it also allows me to have alone time with myself and focus on something I really enjoy doing. Things I don’t enjoy are shopping. It always ends in weird encounters or something like that. But isn’t it funny that I like to cook, but don’t like going to the store to get the supplies? You could even call it lazy in a way. Some character traits I possess are calm, caring, mature, loving, lovable and generous. I like to help people whenever I can. I don’t enjoy watching people suffer because that’s just so wrong. Another thing about me is I’m very jumpy which means I get scared very easily. It could be a random loud noise and I’ll probably start running, so I’m usually very cautious about my surroundings. That’s what’s different now after coming here. I’ve let my guard down. I have not been cautious just because this place is really beautiful 62
