Since this flyer followed her here maybe it was for a reason, she reasoned with herself as she sat back on the bed.
“Since you followed me all the way here, I will ready you and see what is so important that you stuck onto me like a leech,” she said to herself as she looked intently at the flyer.
She began to concentrate as she read the flyer and what she saw made her laugh with so much sarcasm, she wanted to kill somebody.
“Have you ever wondered why you are so different? Why everyone looks at you as if you don’t belong? Don’t fret the chosen one, you were born for greatness and this is your time to shine. Click onto this web and take this chance to change your fate and destiny! You only have twenty-four hours………contact @ *********”
This was simply BS and Juanita wasn’t buying it anymore. On this day, she had gone through so much she felt as if the heavens were mocking her and everyone was laughing at her.
She didn’t want another person to laugh at her too and this flyer that had been sticking onto her for hours was just driving her crazy. She stood up and this time she threw it into the bin and decided to do some work and forget about everything.
Since she wasn’t feeling sleepy as she had slept already, she decided to clean up her house and keep herself busy. Juanita did exactly that for two hours and the house was clean and sparkling.
She even soaked her dirty clothes into a tub and left them while she takes a rest but before she could sit properly, her eyes darted to the bin where she threw that flyer.
“Ahh, what am I thinking about?”
She decided to harden her heart but her heart was now racing like crazy and she knew that ignoring this will only make her regret it for the rest of her life.
“Fine, it doesn’t matter whether I am getting pranked or what, since a chance is here, I will take it and see where it will lead.”
Since there was no harm in trying, Juanita made her way back to the bin and dug the flyer out. She went to pick up her laptop and sat down on the chair. She switched it on and connected to Wi-Fi.
Juanita quickly typed in the web address written on the flyer and pressed enter. She waited anxiously as it loaded. She didn’t know what to expect or what she was going to see and it was scary as hell.
Juanita waited anxiously for five minutes before the laptop went blank and a message popped up onto the screen, “congratulations on winning Farm Family!”
And that was the last thing she saw before she also blacked out. Juanita had no idea what was going on but when she opened her eyes again, she was in shock.
She looked around the place she was in and couldn’t help but feel scared.
She was lying on a wooden bed that made her backache with just a movement. It wasn’t only that but she was in a room she didn’t recognize and the first thing she thought of was, “I have been abducted.”
To check this speculation of hers and think of ways to escape, she quietly climbed down and quietly walked on her toes and left the room with only the wooden bed in it.
When she walked out of the room, she felt like crying. The room she was in was just a thatched hut and there was nothing fancy or any house there. The place was more restricted as the only thing she could see was some piece of farming land and a well of water.
The rest of the place was just fog and there were no roads, in other words, it seemed like she was stuck here. She crumbled down and fell to the ground, tears falling down her cheeks and wetting the ground.
Pita…..pita……the sound of lonely tears could be heard as Juanita regretted following the flyer. If she had known that her life will change like this, she should have just stayed with her parents and performed her filial duties.
Now she didn’t know when she was going to leave this place. She didn’t even know who brought her here and what was she going to eat, change into or just live in this god-forsaken place?
Juanita was so much in pain that she didn’t see as the whole place lit up and, in that room, she had left and woke up in, a strange screen appeared and numerous words began to appear on it.
Juanita got tired of crying and fainted on where she was sitting. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back on that bed again and she just wanted to cuss someone out.
This time she was calm, she needed plans to leave this place but the most important thing right now was to check this place and know it better otherwise she will never be able to leave at all.
After calming herself down, she looked around the room once more and received the shock of her life. Right there on the left side of the room and the opposite side of the bed was a huge screen with an email icon flashing on the screen.
“What kind of B.S is this one again?”
After so many things that had happened to her, Juanita was a bit calmer and since no harm had been done to her so far, she decided to see what was happening and who was toying with her.
With so much courage, Juanita approached the screen and clicked on the email icon since that was the only thing that she could think of that the moment. She was happy when the email opened. She breathed in and breathed out first before reading the contents of the email.
[Congratulations host, Juanita Keogh for being the first and last owner of Family Farm. This is a farm that is in a dimensional space and can only be accessed by the host. In this farm, the host can grow crops, rear livestock, trade with others through the trading platform, and upgrade the farm to a higher level.

WARNING: You are to keep this a secret as this treasure can get you killed by greedy people. So, the advice to the host; WORK HARD AND BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PROTECT YOURSELF.]
What the heck was all of this? Was this the destiny she was promised?
Juanita was still in shock and thinking that she had seen wrong, she read the contents repeatedly until she was convinced that everything was real. She dismissed the email and a menu icon popped up again.Since everything was real and this was a treasure to her and she was the owner of this place, Juanita was now calm. There was no way that she had been abducted since she could get here, it also meant that there was a way for her to go back to her house again.She began to look into the menu icon to see what more this screen could do. Juanita read everything she could and the more she learned about this farm, the happier she was.This was the best thing that happened to her ever. She no longer felt sad about being fired and her day going wrong. If all of that had not happened, how was she supposed to encounter such a miracle?Juanita learned that the farm was special and so good. She didn’t nee
Juanita was in a good mood after eating her food, she washed the plates quickly and dried them before putting them back into the old, blue kitchen unit that was on the verge of falling apart.She went to the bathroom and bent down to do some laundry. It was good that the clothes were not a lot and after all that soaking, the clothes were clean so all she had to do was rub and rub and then rinse them.She was done in less than an hour and she went outside to hang her clothes. Looking at the bright sun outside, she was in a good mood. It was spring and the price of fresh produce was high.And thinking of selling her goodies in the future, Juanita happily hummed a tune as she returned inside the house. The neighbor who had come out to throw some trash, couldn’t help but look at Juanita with a strange light in her eyes.“What is wrong with that girl?” she wondered but brushed it aside a
Juanita spent the remaining days before she moved out, planting her rice, harvesting it, and getting rid of the things she didn’t need. She also applied for an online store on Baobab and this process was going to take a week.Only her details were needed so she didn’t need to worry about anything or register an address. This online store was good especially for people with no physical registered places for a selling point.It wasn’t as complicated as when one was opening the company and the capital needed wasn’t much as well. So, while she waited, Juanita cleaned up her whole house and sold a few appliances she didn’t need.On the last day of the month, she handed the keys to the landlord and walked out of the apartment she had been living in for over a year with just a suitcase of clothes.“Where did she put her things?” the man asked curiously as he watched the tenant, h
Juanita jogged happily to her parents seeing the love, warmth, and longing in her mother’s eyes. She had missed the woman so much and it felt good seeing her after not being home for a long time.“I am home, mother!” Juanita excitedly announced as her mother’s warm embrace enveloped her.“My baby is back, let momma look at you,” Pearle excitedly spoke as she looked at her daughter to see if she was in a good condition.Juanita giggled happily and let her mother look at her all she wanted, after a minute or so, Pearle finally stopped and took the suitcase from Juanita.“Mother, I can carry it. You don’t have to,” she tried to dissuade her mother but the old woman shook her head in rejection.“I am still strong, let mommy do this for you. Come along, your daddy should be on edge by now,” Pearle laughed as she looked
Juanita looked at her dad’s worried face and sighed, she didn’t want anything bad happening to her parents or watching them getting depressed especially when she was the root of all the problems.“Dad, I will be here for like a week or two. I resigned from my previous workplace and will be going to Zlila for something better,” knowing her parents well, she doubted if she could hide from them any longer so it was better for her to come out clean from the word go.Randall wasn’t surprised much but Pearle who was done washing the plates, yelled in surprise, “darling, why did you resign?”Juan looked at her mother in a defeated manner, “it wasn’t working well there so I decided to leave and look for greener pastures somewhere else.”Pearle looked at her daughter and felt her heartache for her, “were they bullying you?”Juan ch
“Mom and dad, I know that you mean well for me and you want the best for me but you need to know that as long as you are tiring yourselves, working so hard to pay off the debts that were incurred around six years ago for me; I feel so sad and it really hurts a lot,” Juan looked at her parents as tears streamed down her cheeks.Pearle and Randall held each other’s hands as their hearts raced as they listened to their child airing out her grievances to them.“I have been like this for six years, I lost so many things and have been looked upon so many times that I got tired of it. All I wanted was to be normal again, to be able to take a photo and smile brightly. I also want to walk out there proudly without being looked at like a clown but the reality is just scary. We can’t afford the money, I have saved for six years, and yet it isn’t even a tenth of the money needed, and by now the money should have risen
Juan had no idea that a rich tycoon had set her eyes on her store as she was busy doing some chores at home. She even cooked this rice and some vegetables and went to see her parents.She had not cooked for them for ages, so she wanted them to have some food that they have not cooked while working.When Pearle and Randall saw their daughter, they were all smiles. They were surprised to see her holding packed lunches but they felt warm in their hearts.They cooked for a living but receiving packed lunches from their daughter really made their day. Those that were waiting for their food couldn’t help but look at this scene in a bewildered manner.Why would anyone bring food to a food stall? But the parties involved didn’t even care about any of them.Juanita then returned home after that. As she was chilling in the living room watching T.V she decided to check her store inbox and see
Juanita spent a great time with her parents, helping them with their work and selling her rice online. The business was not that good as in one week she managed to sell only three bags of rice including the one she sold to the first customer.She wasn’t worried much as she was full of confidence that one day, she will be selling her products like crazy. During this time, she had been thinking hard about telling her parents about her farm.She didn’t want them to worry about her much so she decided to tell them before she leaves and also give them some of the products as she couldn’t keep on making excuses daily.Two days before her departure, Juan was in her room looking at the juicy tomato in her hands. She had been planting tomatoes and rice interchangeably ever since she leveled up.And now she had enough of the two, she even sold some of them and bought some other seeds to plant
