Square Parking
August 25, 2009
Sims Lightning? And My Gramma with The Speed of Lightning :D
Okay, so I was walking on a well-lit sidewalk late at night, I think that was around 11:40 PM. It was a small, quiet town, and the streets were empty. All houses were square and looked alike and I noticed that all were in pastel colors. I passed some houses with their front doors open, or with screen doors which allowed me to see inside. There was a family with a messy living room, and the daughter was lying down lazily on a sofa, and the son was somewhere on the floor. I’m not sure if he was playing with the toys scattered around. The mom was in the kitchen or dining area, and I think she was saying something about the mess.
Suddenly it started to rain and I heard the distant sound of thunder so I wasn’t afraid. The sidewalk I was on, right outside the homes, had a roof over it, but I was nearing the corner, which was no longer well-lit and had no roof. So I stopped walking and looked up to see how heavy the rain is, because I might need to stay in one of the houses. I stopped in front of the house of an old woman who lives alone. I think she was preparing dinner or cleaning up after it or something. I hesitated knocking on her door because I know I had to go to the grocery before it closes, and that is the reason why I needed to turn left at the corner, because straight ahead after turning left, is the back or side entrance of the grocery.
So I paused and pondered, and looked up. A tall and thin tree stood next to a lamppost, and suddenly, lightnight strikes it. Briefly there was a tiny explosion, and the center of the tree starting burning.I looked around to ask for help to put out the fire, but I was totally alone and the people in the houses didn’t seem to care whatever happened outside. I ran back and tried to look for someone who might seem to want to help but found that only a small portion of the sidewalk is well-lit; I don’t know what happened to the rest where I came from. When I ran back to the front of the old lady’s house where I could see the tree, I noticed that the fire has died down, and vaguely, I remembered that in Sims 2, lightning occasionally strikes trees and outdoor furniture and they burn but they instantly die down too.
Since the rain was still pouring, I knocked on the old lady’s door and asked if I can just sit down at the living room and promised not to bother her. (I remember her as one of our neighbors in our old home when I was a kid, and when I didn’t feel like staying at home I’d go to her house, to her annoyance, but of course I didn’t know that back then.) Suddenly, there was some kind of shift, and my mother’s mother, my grandma, came by, driving a small blue car and she told me to hop right in and we would go to the grocery to meet my parents. I did and she drove so fast that I thought we were both going to die. We turned left at the corner and I saw the double doors of the grocery, but my grandma isn’t stopping! We sped through the doors while IN the car and the security guard stepped back to save himself from being run over or dragged.
Next scenario my mom and my grandma were putting things inside a push cart, and I noticed that my grandma bought huge bottles of shampoo and conditioner and I realized that she and my mom are very similar in that way and how they like to take care of their looks and how they like buying beauty products in huge amounts. Then I noticed a shelf featuring new products from a familiar brand, and I noticed a huge purple glossy bottle of something which I don’t remember now, and I was so taken by the packaging and the color and I think how it smelled, that I was already starting to think that I might need it. Suddenly my sister was there, and I was telling her about it, and she was also quite amazed but then changed her mind and felt lazy to go to the counter and have to pay for it. I wanted to buy it but suddenly I felt the same way and wondered if I really do need it. But the purple color and the glossy packaging was very attractive. I’m not sure if I bought it but later on, I had to line up for the counter. My parents and my grandma were in a separate line because there was a faster, separate section for senior citizens. As I fell in line, I noticed that the counter looked like it was meat shop counter because it was all messy and the light was orange like in local meat shops. I made a comment that something didn’t match and one or two people laughed and agreed with me.
