Episode 12 Darlen Perspective (Part 5 of 18)

("Darlen" listens carefully to her mother, the children watch cartoons on the TV in the dining room)

Grandma Mel-It was our last great adventure, your father and I were shopping in a supermarket, we were traveling in a city called "Cold Winds".

"Darlen"-¿Cold Winds?, ¿the city that is by "Renald Town"?

Grandma Mel-Yes, I still remember that day, we were in the supermarket walking the aisles, our favorite aisle of your father and I was the candy aisle, we were so young, we also liked the technology area and seeing all those advanced devices, I remember that we bought our first radio there. Then we went through the area of ​​books and magazines, which was another of our favorite aisles, we used to spend a good time reading the magazines and books on the shelves, it was something we liked to do, then we saw a flyer at the checkout counter in the area of books and magazines, it said "The answer to everything is here", next there was a picture of a family that seemed happy in a neighborhood, "Carrell Vitt" with green letters and with flowers.

"Darlen"-the big ad that was on Carrell Vitt's driveway earlier, ¿right?

Grandma Mel-Yes, the brochure was the same image of the advertisement that was at the entrance of the city when we arrived here at Carrell Vitt, only that over time the giant tarp deteriorated and now there is nothing there, just a small piece with the letters "Vitt" and the rusty metal structure, they should repair it since it is falling

"Darlen"-¿Then what happened?

Grandma Mel-your father and I had been thinking for some time about a permanent settlement, a place to make our lives and raise a family, we had traveled so much, we loved to travel but, so many trips ended up tiring your father and me. One day while your father and I ate at "La Pizza" cafeteria in "Viridill City", I thought about what it would be like to have a daughter, your father and I loved each other so much, what else could we do, we were like nomads, we didn't have one normal life, we lived in a camper, we had a lot of money but no where to invest it, with whom to enjoy it.

("Darlen" nods her head listening to his mother)

Grandma Mel-So that day when we saw the Carrell Vitt flyer, your father and I knew it was a sign and we chose this beautiful place to live and raise a family, we arrived here in the 80s, and four years later you were born in 84.
