The Touch Of Life

Chapter 5. New Beginnings

As I got back in my car and headed to my Aunts house I realized I needed some gas.

I pulled off the road to a gas station. "TombThumb". I normally don't use this gas station because I've heard a few people say there prices are more but I don't really have a choice.

As I got out my car I saw a sign saying "lottery winnings $200 million dollars".

I was so shocked of the amount that I finished pumping gas and I got some change and went and bought a ticket.

That's a lot of money to have. I thought to myself. As I walked back to my car I wondered what I could do with all that money.

Buy a mansion, a new car, my aunt a new bakery, etc.., but I also realized that how could me "Tyler" out of 15 million people win the lottery. But hey it's worth a shot.

I left the gas station and headed down to my aunts. About 30 minutes had past and I arrived at my aunts. She wasn't there but she left a note and a key by the back door saying she was at the bakery cleaning today and she'd be home around 6 o'clock.

It's 5:30 now so she'll be here shortly I thought to myself. As I walked in she had put another note on the fridge saying eat want you want.

I sat my stuff down and I got all my stuff out of the car and put it In the second bedroom. When I was a kid she'd always let me come over and this room would be mine.

I guess time has passed and who'd would have known it would still be used by me.

I removed all my things and unpacked and got situated. By that time my aunt had arrived home.

I greeted her at the door. She smelt like cookies and cakes. We spoke for a while and we caught up with each other. She went to take a bath in her bedroom. But before hand she said "I brought home some cake if I wanted to eat anything."

It seems as if she was really trying to make me feel at home. To me it's like she almost forgot about the whole almost burning down the bakery ordeal.

But hey, if she forgot that's ok with me. I opened the plate that had the cake in it. It smelt and looked so good. I put it on another plate and I headed to the kitchen table and ate the cake.

After I had finished my aunt had done finished taking a bath as well. We both sat down to watch tv. We always loved the show "Married With Children". It will always be the funniest tv show I'll have ever watched.

We continued on an watched a few episodes and laughed our butts off.

After that I asked Aunt Lisa is she opens on Saturdays and she said "No dear we don't. We only work Monday through Friday."

I honestly thought to myself thank gosh. But I'd be willing to work on weekends. Heck I'd be willing to work 24/7 just to have money in my pocket.

After a few minutes passed I began to yawn an so did Aunt Lisa. So we said our goodnights and we headed of to bed.
