While Mitchell is working full-time at his obituary writer job, it's not all gloom. For one, he does have time after work to do other things, like play video games (Yes, adults can play video games too!). He also writes in his spare time, so it's not like he's given up on creative writing completely. It does mean that novels come out at a much slower pace than when he was younger, and he does find it more difficult to overcome writer's block when he's dead exhausted from a day of work. But while Mitchell is passionate about writing, journalism—that is, finding the truth at all costs—isn't really his thing. Mitchell certainly has heard about journalists in other parts of the world who are persecuted for trying to reveal truth and reality in places where corruption runs free and the media is strictly censored and filtered, and Mitchell isn't really into that sort of thing. He would much rather settle in at home with a cup of coffee and write stories about whatever happened upon his mind that day. Has it ever occurred to Mitchell that sometimes ''suffering'' sows the seeds for a great story? And does he write to proclaim a message, or just for the money?

::<blockquote class="note">Mike is all about having fun. If he's not doing something that amuses him, it's probably not worth doing in the first place.</blockquote>

Mike was once an A+ student, but his grades have fallen slightly. Mitchell attributes it to his goofing around and tells him to "stop acting like a dolt all the time." What Mitchell doesn't notice, however, is that the drop in grades occurred ''after'' his wife's death. Like Bradley Day, there's clearly a deeper reason as to why Mike's the way he currently is. Mitchell is a writer, and writers tend to ask lots of questions,<ref group="n">According to Roald Dahl's ''The Hitchhiker'': "The trouble is, I'm a writer, and most writers are terribly nosy."</ref> but he rarely ever probes into the affairs of his son. Has he stopped and asked ''himself'' questions about his own son? Writing a diary or journal seldom produces any money, but maybe it's time Mitchell got serious about what's going on deep inside Mike's head and started putting down on paper more about his only child. Mike has no siblings,<ref group="n">In fact, he's the only child Sim I made in this neighbourhood that does not have any siblings.</ref> unlike Bradley, so his father's the only person close enough to him that he can confide his secrets to. That is, if Mike ever feels comfortable doing so.

The Walkers live in [[Fanon:Council Flats|Council Flats]], a modified version of the [httphttps://modthesims.info/download.php?t=458131 Council Flats] download on MTS. These British style flats are rather small, but they're comfortable and effective, and they offer a nice balcony. I modified the lot to add a rooftop communal area and added spiral staircases as an alternative to taking the elevator.<ref group="n">Also for fire safety. I mean, those "Do not use elevator during fire" signs aren't joking when they say, "Do not use elevator during fire".</ref>
