Day 1
I found myself standing on the doorstep of a new life. Well, not really a doorstep, but more of mailbox and flat field.
I needed a job, so I searched for a newspaper, but there were none to be found. No magazines either. What was this strange paperless world I found myself in?
No matter; I was undeterred. Not knowing anyone or a single phone number I picked up my phone and dialed at random. Success! I was given a menu of extraordinary jobs to choose from. I was completely unqualified for any of them, so I naturally chose journalist and I got the job. Can you believe that? I can hardly believe it myself, but I start tomorrow.
Yours truly,
A Brave, New Sim
Day 2
Dear Diary,
It was a rough night and I woke up hungry. I’d never actually cooked anything in my life before, so I picked up a book and within the first minute I had figured out how to make a salad and a grilled cheese sandwich. I went with the healthier grilled cheese option. Big mistake. Biiiiig mistake.
The fire engulfed the stove in a flash. Since there was no smoke alarm, I decided to run out screaming, hoping the fire department would hear my dulcet tones and come racing to my rescue. As the fire raged, I suddenly realized there was no fire department in this strange town. Dozens of people jogged and strolled by, but no one seemed to hear my screams and no one stopped to help, so I took matters into my own hands.
Luckily, my designer duds came with a fire extinguisher in the back pocket. Best $0 I ever spent.
Yours truly,
Singed and Thrifty
Day 4
Dear Diary,
Sorry that I skipped a day. Yesterday was my first day at work, but I was too tired,sad, and embarrassed to write about it. Some journalist I turned out to be.
Anyway, yesterday I went to work without doing my homework and everyone could tell because I hadn’t written a single word of the article I was assigned. My boss was furious and gave me a hard time. He didn’t understand why I didn’t call him or someone else for help. But, the truth is, my contact is list is still completely empty. The whole experience made me very tense and then I began to miss my family.
Hmm, I don’t have a family. I need to work on that.
Yours truly,
Belated and Belittled
Day 5
Dear Diary,
I had the strangest encounter with a woman I met today. Her name was Bella, and she was a knockout in her little red dress, but something about her just seemed so off. I couldn’t put my finger on it, until I met her husband Mortimer . . .
