The Diary Of Oliver Kirkland

Entry 9

Dear Diary,

I can't wait today's the grand opening of Peeps Bakery! I got up extra early and went to meet Gilbert. We had just woken up and invited me in as he went to dress. I sat down in his kitchen. He had told me to stay quiet since his little brother was home. I only know him by "West" so that's all I know of him. I got thirsty so I went to get a glass of water and as I reached to get a glass I dropped it and it shattered. On impulse I shouted, "BUTTERSCOTCH!" I quickly covered my mouth and tried picking up the broken glass, cutting myself in the process.

Someone ran down the stairs. It was another man with blonde hair and in his hand he held a handgun. He pointed it at me, asking who I was. "It's fine! It's fine! I'm here with Gilbert!" I shouted. He put the weapon down and called to Gil. Gil came rushing down to him and I. He told me this was "West" or "Ludwig". Gilbert explained the bakery and why he had left me downstairs.

Ludwig sighed and went back to bed. After that Gilbert noticed the broken glass and helped clean up. He looked at my hand and found the cut. He dragged me upstairs and took out a first aid kit. He bandaged it up and drove me to the bakery.

At the opening all the counties showed up for support. Soon our bakery was filled with Countries, normal humans, Micro-Nations, and Colonies. We worked late today. I'm proud of us!

Goodnight...
