Moving Into A New Neighborhood
The sound of an alarm clock woke me up and a beam of light hit my face."C'mon you dork, time for you to get up- after all, our mom would've KILLED me if we didn't stick to our routine..."
That's right- our parents died in a car crash 2 days ago. Only me and my brother Eric are left. Luckily, Eric has a job so technically, he can raise me, but he just enrolled to college so our schedules are tight. We only just figured out that our parents left us a house in this neighborhood so decided to move.
"Heey!! Earth to Eugene, here!"
I finally opened eyes, slowly getting up from my bed.
"Yeah, yeah...I'm up. No need to get your boxers in a twist..."
"You know the drill- after I make your lazy butt some pancakes, I have to get to college."
"They have college on Saturdays...?"
"That's the wonder of colleges, now I have to go. The pancakes are on the dining table, if you even know where THAT is, since I just finished unpacking. Bye."
With that, he left my room. And a while after, I heard the door close. Well, I got the whole house to myself, that's a relief. I layed back down on the bed again but then realized I'm already too awake to sleep again so I wobbled to the hallway. It took me a while, since the house's layout is really unfamiliar to me, but I finally found the kitchen and then the dining room. Ah, Eric's crappy pancakes. I have nothing else to eat, so I might as well...
And inside was a palace.
