Monday, 5th of August

No!

They're Dead!

Your fault!

It's all-

I shot up, gasping.

I sat up in bed, breathing heavily, almost wheezing.

"It's a dream. Nobody died.. it's okay.. it's all in my head.."

I rested my head in my palms, slowing my breath.

By the time I had calmed down, and the dreams.. nightmares.. finally faded away to the back of my mind, I saw the faint pink of a sunrise. It reflected through my window and onto my plants.

I smiled at the sight. It was comforting, and resembled a calm after the storm.

It also meant I slept like 6 hours! Yay!

Honestly that was too much. Back at camp we'd stay up late and wake up early, running on like 10 hours of sleep a week.

It was a nice feeling.

I stretched, casting aside my blanket and hoping out of bed.

I made my bed and made sure Mr Kelp was placed front and center.

I grinned cheekily and turned to the door.

Along with a smallish bedroom, the upstairs apartment had a kitchen, bathroom and a small living room.

Honestly it was perfect.

And most likely better than any other apartment I would've been able to procure here in this city.

I brewed up a fresh cup of coffee in the kitchen, and started up on the ingredients for blue cookies.

I mixed together flour, eggs, butter, Sugar and vanilla, and the other very secret ingredients that I'm not telling you!

And of course, blue food dye. The magic!

You know the drill, add chocolate chips then scoop into balls, place on a coated cookie sheet and pop in the oven for 10 minutes.

Scoop and repeat until you've got yourself a batch of warm gooey blue cookies.

I sipped on my coffee along with a bite of a warm cookie and packaged the cookies up individually for sale.

I carried the basket down the stairs and set them up on the counter.

I grinned at the wonderful aroma the cookies emitted, causing the whole book store to smell like a bakery.

The door unlocked and opened, and I turned to see May. She didn't look surprised to see me up so early anymore.

"Hello Percy, more cookies today?" May said with a smile.
