Fanon:The Genesis Project/Chapter 8

The Harper Household
There weren't any birthdays this season. Kind of feels weird because it seems like someone always had a birthday every season for as long as I can remember, and I have been around for 36 days. That is quite a long time!

In any case, the businesses have been going quite well. My real estate business has a continual flow of lots being bought and sold, which is bringing in a lot of simoleons. My paintings have also been selling for quite a high value. I might open up a separate business for my art. It isn't like I have the simoleon to afford it.

Because of the extra simoleon that I have, I decided to add onto the house so that the boys and I had more room to move about in the home. And speaking of the boys, I decided that since Jim enjoys music so much that I would give him one of the lots to build a music store. I think that he has really taken to being a businessman of his own.

The Carpenter Household
Things have been picking up somewhat, so I decided that it was time to separate The Rec Center from all things carpentry and take the lot next door for that. I know that it looks like we didn't make any profit this quarter and The Carpentry isn't really that much to look at, but I feel that this is for the best. Who wants to take a lap in the pool and then decide what windows he wants to buy? Doesn't really make sense to me. Alex and Drew agree with me as well. It is a good thing because they will probably be responsible for really taking the place off the ground since I am clearly slowing down. I am not, however, ready to give up just yet.

And speaking of my boys, they haven't quite had their birthday just yet, but they are just about there. They will be full pledge adults very soon. It's so hard to imagine that I was surprised that I had twins what feels like it was only a few days ago. Truly it was 29 days ago, which is almost a year and a half ago! And to think that they will be having their own sons in about a couple of seasons. Time sure does fly! I have no worries that they will make great parents and even business owners. I don't think that I could be prouder of anyone. I guess I am actually quite proud of the community that we have created as well. Almost two years ago found the eight of us in a very strange place with no knowledge of where we were, or even who we were. Now we have made our homes, had our families, and built various businesses to help give our various skills for the improvement of the community as a whole. I just hope that I am around long enough to make sure the next generation doesn't ruin it all.

The Fisher Household
It has truly been a time to "spring" back into action. After the rough winter we had, we have been able to make up for the losses that we incurred. Still we haven't gotten much more than that. Nick and I will just have to work really hard to make some more profit than we did this past few seasons so that when the tough winter comes along again, we won't have very much in way of losses.

I know that everyone else is saying that we aren't really doing that bad compared to them. Honestly, it is true that we could be doing worse, but it isn't entirely the fault of a bad winter either. I know that I promised Nick that I wouldn't vent my anger about it here, but that doesn't mean I can't vent out the facts of the matter since I know that no one else will, especially not Tyler. I found out that I was being robbed by having to pay twice for my business lots where everyone else was only paying half what I was. No wonder why Tyler is getting so rich and I'm getting so poor. Of course Tyler said that it must have been a mistake, so now I don't have to pay so much. That doesn't mean that he will pay me back what he stole, oh Sim forbid that. Well, maybe now I won't be as stomped in profit without having to shell as much now.

The Baker Household
I find it hard to believe that Connor just had his birthday. He is now an adult. He might be the age that I was when we first found ourselves in the place 36 days ago. I guess that would mean that we are at least 66 days old or more. That means that almost half of our lives have been taken from us, but we have moved on and built our lives here with our sons. I can't imagine live any different than this, but it kind of makes you wonder what our lives were like before we arrived in this place. Did we choose this? If so, why did we have no recollection of it? Or were we abducted and brainwashed to forget? Kind of makes you wonder.

In any case, the Bakery has been doing some growing into the place that it is now. It has been a little slow, but it has been doing well. I hope that I am around long enough to see it really become successful like I want it to be. I am not concerned that my sons won't be able to keep it going. It's actually a good thing because this community would starve without us providing meals for everyone. No one really knows how to cook other than myself, which is actually a little of a concern for me because the boys haven't really taken interest in learning how to cook. I'm not too worried because I know that when the time comes, which I'm sure will be at least another 30 days, I know that they will be quick studies. I mean, I was about Connor's when I started working on cooking, and I didn't have anyone to teach me other than experience.
