Chapter 1: The Beginning

My name is Jack. I am a farmer on my grandfather's farm in Mineral Town, a small village in the middle of nowhere. It is a nice village with nice people, I plan to spend most of my life here.

"Hey Jack, want another?" asked Doug, the local innkeeper.

"Yea." I replied, he was a nice guy. He owned the inn, which became a bar at night, and he ran the place with his daughter Ann. She is about my age, a nice, pretty younge girl. I have a feeling though, she isn't the one. We had been together a couple of times, nothing has clicked, at least for me. She is a fun girl though, nice to just be with.

Anyway, when I first heard of my granfather dying, I came immediantly. He died before me, saying few words at a volume to which I could not understand. He had asked me to take over the farm for him, and the family. If I did not take the farm, it would become a theme park, which would have ruined the town. After he had passed away, we had the funeral. I stayed in the shack of his he called "home." It was a one-room place with a single bed, a table, a TV with four channels, and a tool box. I slept horribly that night, dreaming the worse outcome of this choice I had just made. The next morning I had some snacks I had saved from the trip over here. I walked over to the tool box. I looked into the tool box and discovered a sickle, hammer, hoe, axe, and a watering can. Toward the bottom though, I saw some bag, with "Potatoe" on the side. Assuming it was seeds, I took them with me. I walked outside, at saw a short, chubby man with a large nose claiming to be the mayor. He took me on a tour of the village, where I met each person. Small town, should be hard to forget someone. During the tour I met some good guys, like Cliff and Gray. They both were pretty cool, and I enjoy hanging out with them. Also, during the tour, I met two beautiful young ladies: Ann and Karen. Both of them were nice to me, seemed to be slightly interested in me, which was good especially during the first meeting. After the tour had ended, I looked over my new land and discovered, this is gonna be hard. I started clearing the farm when I had a visit from Karen. She wanted to get to know me better, I wanted to know her better. We talked for some time, then she had to go. I liked her alot.

Spring was a nice season for me, I got the farm on track, cleared and plowed. I had a dog, named Luke. He is still a puppy, a very loyal and strong puppy. I also had a horse named Teioh, he was very loyal also, although I will not be able to ride him for at least two more seasons. I have some chickens, they are slightly annoying. They lay plenty of eggs that I use more of a gift than to sell. Many people appreciate my chickens' eggs, saying they are very fresh and tasty. During Spring, I planted patches of grass for my cows when I get the money for them.

"Hey" someone shouted.
I turned around. It was Karen!
Right now it is Summer 13th, my first year on the farm. Karen and I constantly dated, we walked along the mountains or sat at the beach. We talked alot, I really liked her. Karen is the best thing that happened to me at this town. She is nice, beautiful, fun, and just the best person to be with. Karen and I talked for a while.
"Hey babe. Wusup?" I said.
"Nothing much really. I am kind of bored at the moment." Karen said, "I was just thinking what has becomed of Kai."
At that moment I froze. I hated Kai. We fought from the beginning. One day, he pushed me too far. I was with Karen walking from the supermarket, when Kai ran straight between us. That was it for me, I have had enough. The people of the town disliked Kai, and it was up to me to get rid of the trash. We fought, throwing punches at each other, he wasn't as strong as he looked. Either that or I had become strong farming, but he wasn't fending from my attacks well. Then he threw me off of him. I stood up, he was charging at me. I reached into my rucksack for anything I could grab. Right before he hit me, I grabbed something and bashed it into his face. As I flew past him, red juices hit the ground in front of me. I quickly turned around to see Kai's face in a bloody mess. I walked over to him to discover what I might have bashed his face with, maybe a hammer, or a sickle. I looked down to the pathetic bloody mass, and after closer inspection, discovered I had knocked him out with a ....tomato. I knocked him out, and carried him to the boat to the city, and sent him away to never come back again.

"Oh well" I said, "He deserved every bit of it."
"At least we are rid of him." Karen said, with her beautiful voice.
