Just as I'm about to (finally) finish work, I hear my name. "AMELIA! GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!" I instantly recognize the screech as Alyssa's, seeing as, lately, that's all I ever hear from her. Begrudgingly, my feet start to walk for themselves, even though the pins and needles definitely dampen their willingness to cooperate. 

"Yes, Alyssa?" I say in the sweetest, yet most frustrated tone I could muster (without getting yelled at, of course). 

"Amelia, would you be a dear and take these papers to the copier? We need more Joja-Cola flyers out for everyone to see," Alyssa says, with just as fake of a smile. Though, as soon as she sees my hesitation, the facade she was just barely holding up drops. She gives me a cold, hard, glare, and drops the papers right into my open hands. Somehow, I manage to keep the smile on my face, though I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks in anger. 

After flashing Alyssa one final, even-more-fake smile, I stomp down the hall to the copier. My hands do all the work for me, and, soon enough, I'm done. It didn't matter that I finished copying everything within minutes; Alyssa got mad that I couldn't do everything faster. This time, I slam Alyssa's door and stomp even louder towards my desk. 

Right as I'm picking everything up, getting ready to leave, I see a pristine, white letter with a bright red wax stamp glistening in the barely-lit cubicle. My grandfather had given me this letter when I was eight; over eleven years ago. Barely able to control myself, I rip open the letter, not caring about who sees and who picks up the mess. 

My eyes skim the letter, and I let out an audible gasp. Grandpa had left me his old farmland... in Stardew Valley. 


A/N - Let me know if you think that this is a style you'd like me to continue. I can try to make the chapters longer, but, since this is only the beginning of the story and we haven't really gotten into anything major, there isn't a lot of inspiration thus far. Please tell me what you think of the story so far, just so that I have an idea of what is preferred and what isn't. :)
