Chapter Three
The first thing that Wurmea did was proposing a funeral to her now-dead husband. Luckily it didn’t take that long to get the whole blowup-of-tears thing out of her system. The second thing she did was taking a close look at Mumlo. He was just lying on the kitchen table shaking a tiny bit. It was a little cold outside, and Mumlo was only first born. So Wurmea pick him up and cuddled him a little bit more.
Before I go any further, I want to describe Wurmea’s house. It was a one-story hut that was about the size of a cabin in a forest. Of course, people didn’t really call her home a hut, because the outside was made of metal. But the inside gave you an exact replica of a hut. That really confused people, so normally, people and herself just decided to call it a hut. A forest filled with unfriendly creatures surrounded the hut. But at least in front of the hut there was a dirt road that led to a small little town that goes by the name of ‘Getruzy’. It was only three miles away, but the problem was that Wurmea didn’t have a vehicle to get there. The average person could walk a mile in twenty minutes, so it would take about an hour just to get there.
If you were to open the door of Wurmea’s hut, the first thing you would see is just a narrow hallway that had two doors. One led to Wurmea’s room, and the other led to Turavitz’s room. But now that he was dead, it is now Mumlo’s room.
If you get through the hallway, you would see a small kitchen to your right. The kitchen contains a sink, a small hole that is used for storing food, a table containing four chairs, and a counter that was near the sink that would be used for stacking dirty dishes. To the left there would be the living room. All it contained was a sofa made out of sticks, a rocking chair, and a fireplace that was used for cold nights. That’s it about the house. Yes, it only had four rooms, each one containing only one tiny window.
The kitchen had no oven, as you discovered that it didn’t have the word ‘oven’ in the description of the kitchen. Wurmea got food just by killing any small creature in the forest around her or just going to the supermarket nearby. It was mostly Paramite Pie and a glass of Soulstorm Brew for Breakfast, Scrab Legs and a glass of Fuzzle Juice for Lunch, and the Slurg Surprise with a glass of Blended Meat for Supper.
In the backyard, well, it was deserted. All you could see was the forest. It was kind of the same with the front yard, except for the dirt road. It was really boring by day. But at night, the light of the moons of Abe and Munch shimmered through the trees and made a beautiful dancing light across the hut. It was just as beautiful as looking at looking at a lifetime supply of crystals.
I’m sorry if this chapter was only about the description of the hut. But in the next chapter Mumlo’s life with Wurmea is going to begin.
