Fathers Wishes Ranch
Nelly eased up the dirt driveway, careful not to harm her fathers beloved chevy truck. Her heart was still with him, and it would always be. The reading of the will had left quite a shock, ever since he had passed from a fatal heart attack. He was always a healthy man, but, darn his salt obsession. Her thoughts were interrupted by the big vista in front of her. How am i supposed to run this alone? Nelly slammed her head on the steering wheel. Her father was a man who wore his heart on his sleeve, a very sensitive person. She always thought it was from her mother leaving him, she was little at the time, and still hates her mother today. The two story light yellow painted house was old, but well structured. It had maybe three bedrooms? two? Nelly unlocked the chevy truck door and stepped out with a thump, her boots crushing the dirt below. She took the old bronze key and turned the lock as she held open the screen door with her hip. It had a cozy little porch she noted, and at least 90 acres. Its beautiful green grass was long and untrimmed as it blew in the wind. Breathtaking. She stepped inside and saw there was no electricity and no heater. The inside was a bit cold, seeing that recent temperature is going down a bit, she left the door open and went to open all the windows to get a breath of fresh air. This place could do, it certainly could.
Nelly heaved the last of the boxes into the house, going back outside to close the pick up bed door. Her red hair was tied up in a bun and she felt the sudden urge to put on an apron and sing a little jingle. She laughed at herself of the thought. She wiped away sweat and started to cut open the boxes, noticing that she would also need a fridge and radio. A TV she could to without, but not a radio. "This might take awhile..." she told herself and chased away another bead of sweat trickling down her face.
Finally, she sat the LAST lamp on the LAST end table and smiled at her great work. The heat had rose and she ran outside and hopped into her chevy. She was going to go get that electricity. And water.
