Fanon:The Genesis Project/Chapter 11

The Harper Household
This winter has proven to be a bearer of sad news. I won't go into the details of what happened. I will let the others tell you, but let's just say that we have found out that we are indeed NOT immortal. That means I am truly going to die one day. I, for one, sure hope that won't be for a very long time. In any case, the community has asked that I use one of my empty lots as a place for the deceased. I haven't done that much with the lot yet, but I think that if we are going to be burying our dead there that it should be more that just a place to put them. Surely it should be a place to commemorate there time with us. I know that I wouldn't want to just be stuffed somewhere if I were dead.

I know that I started by saying that this season has brought sad news, but that is mostly from the other households. The Harper household has actually had a pretty typical winter. (Or so it seems that way. HA!) Chad and Lee have grown into fine children. In fact, several of the others felt that all of the children should be taught together and we would each take turns imparting our knowledge to all of them rather than our own household. To do this, of course, I have been asked to allow another of my empty lots to be used as a school. Things have been going very well, so I didn't see a problem with allowing a couple of lots be used for community purposes without much profit. It isn't all about the simoleon as some might have you think.

It is all about the love. And I can say that Jim has gotten into that since Brad has become a toddler as well as having a new baby. Corbin is an exciting addition to the household. And I am not just saying that to imply that the household is becoming quite large which means that it will become a dominating household in the community. I would never think that sort of thing even if there are some who would tell you differently. All of these babies means that the community will grow and flourish into the great community that I know that it is destine to become. I just hope that I will be around to see it for as long as possible.

David and Jim are also doing will. David has been doing some helping around with the art gallery and the real estate agency some more now that his twins have grown up a little needing less of his attention. I must say that I am quite please with how eager he is to run things. I have no doubt that things will be left in good hands after I am gone. In fact, I wonder if I shouldn't just let him run things now. That's actually not a bad idea. Then I could just spend my time painting masterpieces. Hmm..

Jim didn't do that much with his music business this past winter because he was pregnant for most of it along with tending to Brad. He has mentioned to me that he really misses it and hopes to get back into it when Corbin is a little older. I am quite happy that I noticed that Jim really enjoyed making tunes and suggested that he have his own music business. I don't know what I would have done if it weren't for that. It's not that we didn't get along, but I found myself wondering what to do with him since he wasn't as interested in running the financial aspect of the community like David was.

The Carpenter Household
Much to my dismay, I (Alex) have now been given the task of writing the quarterly reports. The reason is that early on this winter, Sean passed away. The entire community is greatly saddened by this loss, but no more than those of us in his home. He will truly be missed for all that he has done. I am sad to say that he hasn't been able to see all of his hopes and dreams come to fruition yet. And he probably never will! I only hope that we can make those dreams come true and that he will know somehow. I hope that he will enjoy the place of rest that I gave him in the new cemetery. I know that Tyler mentioned it before that he was asked to open it for the neighborhood to lay their dead to rest. I just hope that we don't have to bury too many more than we have already this winter.

As you might have figured out, I have been given the charge to run the businesses as well as all of the other household duties and responsibilities. The Carpentry and Rec Center have been doing as well as possible with the recent change in ownership. I haven't been focusing on it too much because I have been trying to just keep things from falling apart (including myself). Now that it has been a few days since his passing, I am doing better now. I hope that this spring that I will be able to focus more on the businesses, especially now that the boys are more grown up now.

And speaking of Drew's and my sons, they are now children. I can't believe that it has been long enough that we can have children of our own growing up into fine young lads. It seems like it was only a few days ago that we were children ourselves. I guess it has been a few because it was just under two years ago that we were. It kind of makes me wonder how old dam truly was when he passed away. We have been saying that he was 47 days old, but that was when everyone found themselves here without any memory. It's so hard to believe that Drew and I were born within a week after that occurred. Anyway, I should finish this report up and get onto more important things.
