Chapter 33: Raventown

I stood by a small, local car dealership, just looking around at the cars they were offering.

"You found something you like?" A salesman, who has been guiding me asked.

"Hm I don't know. None of these I like. I want a sports car but at the same time I want to be sensible and get a pick-up." I sighed.

"If we were in Australia I'd show you the perfect car but unfortunately you're not." He looked at his clipboard. "Well I have a used Chevy Camaro for sale. If you want to look at it?"

He showed me the car and I observed it for a bit. I looked at him and asked him. "I only need a pickup just to move. Could this tow a small trailer?"

"I don't see why not." He answered.

"OK, I'll take it."

"Excellent. Let's begin the paperwork."

He leads me in to a small office and we work out the paperwork. I give him 10K and he hands over the title. After that was settled he handed me the keys and I got inside my new car.

Golly. I never had a sports car before, this feels nice.

I started the engine and I drove off the dealer lot.

I was surprised on how quick it was, how easy it was to maneuver around. A little car is always easier to drive than a large truck.

I immediate headed to a moving rental and rented a moving trailer. I hitched it up and towed it to my apartment.

I quickly moved all of my belongings, which took me two hours, onto the trailer. I closed it up, gave the keys back to the apartment landlord and then started on my way to Raventown.

I listened to a podcast on the drive there, I took in the moment. It was interesting knowing why the reason I came to Metropolis and the reason now why I left.

After a couple hours drive I was finally in Raventown. I stopped at a small house I had just bought yesterday. Strange since the person who was selling it was very eager to get it sold as soon as possible.

I unlock the door to the small house and I marvel at the clean, empty rooms.

"Wow, to think that this is all mine." I looked around in amazement. "I think I'm going to like it here."

I immediate went to work, loading the boxes into the house, the few pieces of furniture I did own and my bed.

But the minute I put all of it inside, I realized I had a problem.

I had too little stuff. I only had three pieces of furniture. My belongings had fitted into only 20 boxes and my bed was a twin size.

I look at the palm of my hand. The same one that had contributed to the special mark ceremony with the weird girl ever so recently, I sigh and I say "Maybe Fi can help me find better furnishing for this place. After all she might live here too."

I shove a dresser against the wall and I dust it off. "Besides, it'll happen eventually. We're supposed to, I guess."

The dresser just looked sad all by itself, no other funishings, no pictures, no paint. Nothing.

"Yup this house is going to need some soul." I shake my head and I grab my iPad. I get the keys to the car and I drive to the nearest coffee shop in Raventown.
