NOTE:  THIS STORY IS FICTION


Sad and Broken


The day was sunny and hot when it all happened. The mysterious event that caused me to have to spend money.  I slowly walked to my backyard, with a glass of lemonaid my Mum had made for me.  "I'll make you lemonaid if you go outside and trim the hedges." she had said. I wiped the sweat from my forehead, because exposure to the sun was causing my pale white skin to sweat.  I didn't like the sun; I was used to being in a dark room with my computer and video games  for several hours everyday. It's not my fault I'm 30 and still live with my parents- I'm renting out the basement.  I have no job. I went to go chop the hedges I noticed a large hole in the brand new fence my Pa installed last week.  I screamed and ran back inside because I didn't know what to do. 


My mom pushed me back outside and I stood and stared at the fence.  I walked back towards it.  It was up to me to repair it.  I grabbed a hammer and some wood and thought for a very, very, very long time how to fix it.  I sat on a lawn chair, and continued staring at the fence.  I put on a hat because the sun was getting to me.  I understood what to do.


I went back downstairs into the basement and Googled how to fix a fence.  I read slowly, understanding every word.  I grabbed some nails from the garage and went back outside to the fence.  I put up a board of wood and hammered it over the hole.  I actually enjoyed fixing this fence.  I worked on it for about an hour.  As I walked back inside my mom gave me another glass of lemonaid.  She was so happy I fixed the fence!


When my pa got home he saw I fixed the fence.   He had a brilliant plan.  He asked me if I wanted to make a fence repair and installation service with him.  He hated his current job, so he was glad to try something new.  I was so happy, I never had a job before.  We decided to call it "J D Fence" because my name is Donald and his name is Jerry.  We were going to be the best fence repair team ever! "Aluminum, [c]hainlink, [v]inyl and [w]ood", we will learn to do it all! 


 From that time and on, me and my father fixed fences.  I eventually made enough money to move out of my parent's house. At the start we had to do "[f]ree [e]stimates" because we didn't have enough customers.  But then our fence service grew.  We became the richest fence installers and repairmen ever.
