35| life in utopia

our small town could be considered a utopia. the location is great - right next to the beach, there's no poverty and no racism, and crime is non-existent other than a few robberies. finding a job is easy and as long as you're willing to work, you'll get a promotion quickly. i became the head of my department in the local bank within a year. services like the police, the fire department, and hospitals are great, even though taxes aren't high.

people are generally friendly and trustworthy, nobody is religious so it's pretty easy to form romantic relationships, and everyone was very welcoming when we first moved here. people are strange, though. sometimes their actions will be completely out of the blue. you might get verbally abused by a good friend or hit on by a happily married lady. but i got used to that stuff.

lately, though, some even weirder shit has happened. a woman who was an experienced cook died in a house fire after leaving her oven on for hours. the weirdest thing was that she threw away her fire alarm. i swear she had one, i saw it when i went to visit last month. meanwhile, people have been drowning in their pools. young, healthy, sober people just randomly fucking drowning in their pools. the strangest thing was, none of the pools had ladders.

even my family just started acting really strangely. my wife quit her job as a cop and now she just paints all day long. i bet her quitting has something to do with all the weird shit that's been happening, but she hasn't told me anything. in fact, she hasn't spoken to me for the last three days.

today has been the scariest day of my life. i woke up really early and i had no control over my actions. i felt trapped inside my body. i didn't go to work and instead spent four hours on the treadmill, even though i was really hungry and tired. i only regained my body's control a few minutes ago and after talking to my wife for the first time in days, i was unable to describe my experience, and she was completely unfazed by my odd behaviour this morning.

the creepiest thing, though, was the fucking green diamond hovering over my head.

i know that wasn't exactly horror but i loved it too much not to post it. i fucking love sims

also shoutout to the two/three of you who read my most recent chapters rather than reading the first chapter and not reading any more of this book. i love yall sm
