I am playing my Farming Challenge with a Twist by PianoAshes. Each chapter will be published on Wednesdays at 14:00 Central Time [19:00 GMT - 20:00 GMT in the winter months] Loni and her father, Fr...
August: Mom moved down the street, leaving us all behind. In a way, I don't blame her, but I think that Dad and MaryJo should have moved out. Dad is heartbroken. I don't even feel sorry for him. Evan went to the park and ran into Wanda Perkins. They entered the hot dog eating contest together. Evan lost. Phoenix had a gig at Chela's Place, the new live venue in town. He had a good turnout, but was unable to finish his act. Uncle Parker is going to be a dad. Tisha Singleton is pregnant. Aunt MaryJo was yelling at Dad when I left for school. When I came home, she was telling Dad that she was pregnant! I can't believe that Dad and Aunt MaryJo are having a baby. So, will it be my sibling or my cousin? This is going to kill Mom.
This will be the final chapter of my Marsden Farm Challenge, as I am retiring my Marsden Farm story. The original challenge of building a profitable farm from nothing has been accomplished. The story no longer has a clear direction, and I can't envision August turning this into a legacy.
Casey and MaryJo made things even more complicated. I got frustrated because the two of them took the story in a direction that I didn't want it to go.
I'm sorry to leave this story with a cliffhanger; however, playing this game out is futile without a clear way forward that makes sense to me.
I think the only reason I kept it going this long was because I wanted Phoenix to fulfill his lifetime wish and become a Master Magician.
NOTE: I may or may not play again briefly to see which genders and names the babies are given. This remains to be seen.
