I glanced at my mother, a smile crept to my lips.
shes warm in her bed, as she should be,
sometimes it worries me that she's getting older and older, I wouldn't be able to make it in this world without her,
I wouldn't
but I try not to think of that too much,

I left our house, locked up the door and headed down the street,
Luckily, the mart was near so I didn't have to walk too much,

I reached the store,
today it looked oddly beautiful, the sunray hit the golden glass of it, made the inside glimmer brighter than anything else in this street
I smiled,
I would like for this store to be mine someday, although it looks fair presently, I would take greater care of it.
I Took out my key chain, which only contained the house and shop keys,

I entered and the elegant smell of cookies, that I had made last night, was filling the shop.

It was like this every morning,
Too bad every night it ends up
Oppositely,
the smell of cheap beer everywhere
The uneaten chunks all over and under the tables,
Dirt all around the ground,
Windows somehow stained
And the bathrooms... Oh god.

I hated mostly everyone that came here, none of them showed up to enjoy what the shop is meant to serve,
They only came for the beer.

but that's okay
working here is worth it, I suppose,
especially the steady hours when I'm here all alone,
I went inside the kitchen, on its far end there was a small wooden door, that leads to a little space,
this is where we keep the oven,
because there's no roof here, just three walls
the oven
and me.

Behind it, there were sacks of wood sticks,

I took a few out and placed them inside the oven
Got my two rocks and put together the fire.

I got back inside to the kitchen,
I chuckled to myself, remembering how
Mr Jamie forced me to sleep that night right next to the oven as I was done building it,

"you're going to leave it on fire all night? if it burns the place down," he said, "you better burn with it."

Which is amusing to me, because I told him the mud can dry on its own, it doesn't really need fire, but it would take longer

He got mad and told me if I keep talking he won't allow me to make one, but then again, it's his store, the oven will be to his benefit...

I shook my face, took a breath, put my sleeves up and got ready to make more doe,

Usually, I make pies, bread and cookies
Then Araya uses the oven to make beans after I'm done baking, and we start making other meals











I was taking out the bread, from the oven,
When I heard footsteps behind me in the store,
Probably, Jamie or Araya, it's too early for customers to show up.

"I've got the pies and bread cooked!"

"But I want something else, "
A low voice spoke

My eyes widen,
Oh God no, not him,
I let out a sigh and turned around,

"You're not allowed here, "

"Is that a way to speak to a kings guard?"

I don't care,
He gives me odd feelings.
