Diary of a Drifter-House 4-Chapter 1-I'm a lover, not a scientist


When I left my home to start my new life I didn't realize the challenges I would be facing.  Sure I knew all about my family legacy would require me to do a certain job and that life would not be easy in the beginning.  What I didn't know is that when I opened that envelope which would basically tell me what my life's purpose would be that I might not be happy.


When I thought about my life I always dreamed of finding the lady of my dreams who would be my perfect soulmate.


but when I read the letter I realized Grandma Darlene had another plan in mind for me.



I always pictured myself as one of the world's greatest lovers not one of the world's greatest scientists.


Well I promised my Mom before she died that I would carry on the family legacy and to be honest I really don't want to find out about living in that place called the bin.  I picked up my phone and got myself a job at the Science Lab and who knows maybe I can be both a lover and a scientist.

Diary of a Drifter-House 3b-Chapter 7-Dashawn with the Finale


My sister was quite busy in her last few days and couldn't finish off her journal.  I decided that it was my job to finish up for her since she always looked out for all of us especially me.  She took me in as a teen when she barely had enough to take care of herself so that I wouldn't be alone.  My sister was an angel to me and I'm really going to miss her.


When she got the message from the doctors that she wouldn't have much longer to live she took his advice and started to get everything in order. We always knew that Harry would be moving out to fulfill his part of Grandma Darlene's legacy so all the paperwork the lot of land provided to him in the trust was transferred to him.  The house that we were living in was transferred to my name as we received some bad news about Kayden also.


Not that I would miss Kayden any as he was never good enough for my sister. None of those clowns were good enough for my sister and I made sure that each and everyone of them knew it.


The first thing Everly did was hire Jake Walker.  She was always the one to take care of the house and she wanted to make sure that all of us were taken care of and she insisted that we needed a butler.


She also rented a room to my old girlfriend Rachel Patel.  I think she was afraid of me having to live alone so she wanted to play matchmaker. Rachel also brought her young son Zander to live with us.  It seems she also had a thing with Luciano and they had a child together.  For a little while we had a full house here.


Rachel and I had our birthdays on the same day.  Rachel aged up as she got home from work eventhough we had a cake for her.


I was actually able to blow out the candles on my cake.


Well since I don't work where else would I be.


We spent the rest of our days just enjoying the wonderful house that my sister worked hard to build for us.  We even had a pool in the backyard.


And my sister bought us a horseshoe court just like the one our mother gave us when we were kids.


The day for Harry's birthday arrived and Everly decided to bake him a cake but before she could finish something awful happened.



Everly's time had come.


Harry pleaded with Grim for his mother's life and.....




Grim didn't want to ruin the birthday party so he granted Harry's request.


Being dead didn't stop my sister one bit.  She went back to making a birthday cake for Harry as nothing was going to ruin the celebration.


Everly finished that cake and placed the candles on them so that her son could make a wish and blow them out.  Later on Harry did tell me that his wish was already granted earlier, he just wanted to celebrate his birthday and spend more time with his Mom.


Knowing that this was Harry's last day in the house Everly and Harry spent most of the night together and even did their morning reading together.  The problem happened when Everly got up to make them some breakfast.


Everly was going to make some Scrambled Eggs and Toast for everyone to have a special farewell breakfast for Harry but she never got the chance.


Grim came back for her that morning and this time....


there was nothing any of us could say or do to change his mind.


My sister was gone and nothing was ever going to be the same again.


And while we grieved and mourned our loss, Grim decided to play a game of horseshoes.


Harry was already set to move out which is exactly what he knew his mother wanted to do.  He said goodbye to his father first.


And than he came to say goodbye to me.  He promised he would do whatever he needed to do to keep the family out of the bin and hopefully he wouldn't need 9 lives to do it.


There he goes my nephew off to start his own life and I know he will do his mother proud.  I'm going to miss that boy.

Author's Note-This is the end of house #3.  I'm going to make a special post with the house and Lot info right after this but I wanted to show everyone what I found in Kayden's inventory.  Kayden was constantly at that work bench and I never checked his inventory until the end.  This is how much stuff he made and I didn't even realize it.
