GLE Orphanage
March 27, 2061
"Okay kids, Emerson is here. I want you all to behave and listen to him, Okay?" Sylvia, The nun in the orphanage told the children.
"Yes, miss Sylvia," The kids answered in unison before Sylvia could leave the room.
Oh how lovely they look right now!
As you can see, I'm at the orphanage right now. and I love to help these kids to have a beautiful family. So that's why I always volunteer myself here in the orphanage, since I don't have anything to do with my life anymore. My children are now grown ups. They have their own families. A little sad, I know.
"Emerson?" Millie, the youngest girl in this place raised her hand frantically in the air.
"Yes, darling?" I answered her sweetly.
"What story are you gonna tell us this time?" She asked excitedly. And before I could answer her, someone from the backside of the lounge room spoke up loudly.
"Oooh! Oooh! Please tell us the story about how the Dragon saved the mushroom, again!"
What? Don't look at me like that! I'm the story teller, I can do whatever I want. If I want a mushroom, then mushroom it is.
After that boy screamed, all hell broke lose. The kids are now arguing about what is the best story I told them so far. And as amusing as it looks, I have to stop this fight.
"Children? Children! Stop fighting!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. What? I'm 68 years old and I still have my good 'ole swag with me.
They all stopped arguing and turned to looked at me. Yes, listen to your master, you young padawans.
"Okay, to stop you from your little fights. How about I tell you all a rare story. Nobody knows this story, only I do because I still have my swag. So, what do you say? Deal?" I bribed them.
"Deal!" Grinning, They excitedly shouted back.
Oh I bet they will Love this story. I just know it.
I closed my eyes for dramatic effects and remembered what happened 45 year ago.
'Okay, are you ready to go back in time?' I asked myself although already knowing the answer. I breathed out and started to tell my story.
"Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived an awesome boy, who is also cute, named Emerson--"
I got cut off when Lucas spoke.
"Hey! She has the same name like yours!" He exclaimed cheerfully while pointing at me.
"Hahaha oh yes, dear. We have the same name," I told Lucas. He just smiled widely at me in response.
"So where was I? Oh yeah! Okay, starting over the top.
Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there lived an awesome boy, who is also cute named Emerson. And every morning, he has to go to work to survive............"

"Come on Ems, you're 23! How come you can't join us at the club today?!" My best friend, Bella asked me. She now has her hands on her hips. Oh boy
"It's just that going to a club is a waste of time. I can do my laundry in that time," I reasoned. Well to be honest, I really don't want to go. Because going to the club means getting ready. And getting ready means you have to find cute clothes. And I don't have cute clothes! So That's a big No No.
