Where to start?
Finding your new home...
You rest your head aginst the window as the train begins to come to a stop. The station slowly rolls into view and people begin to gather their things around you, eager to stretch their legs and get on with their day it seems... You remain seated, pondering where to go with your life as they begin to shuffle themselves off of the train. The time comes when you finally see the aisles thin out and you grab the duffle bag containing what little you have brought with you and join the queue...
As you step through the door and rest your feet on the ground, you feel a warm breeze blowing, the smell of salty sea air wafting along as the morning sun lights up the town....
You exit the train station and pull out your phone, checking for directions to the apartment you'd found online... It wasn't too far thankfully so you decide to walk instead of getting a ride. You manouvre your way down the partially crowded streets, finding your way through this new and strange town to your new home. You follow the GPS and finally come to a somewhat tall condo-like building, crowded by similar looking buildings. You walk inside and knock on the door to the office...
A middle-aged blonde woman sees you through the glass door and stands up, heading for the door to let you in....
"Hello!" she says, greeting you in a cheerful tone... Her face shows a few wrinkles, whether a sign if her age or of her stress, you don't know...
"Hello Miss, I had an appointment to move in today?" You say, feeling out of place in this new town.
"Why yes I remember! My name is Jennifer and I'm the property manager here" she tells you smiling warmly as she motions for you to sit down...
You take a seat at her desk and she begins to dig through her filing cabinet for your paperwork... She finally finds your file and takes a seat at the desk across from you... You spend the next few minutes signing your name over and over, making small talk about yourself as she waits for you to finish... As you finish signing the papers, she stands up...
"Well, now that thats all said and done, let me show you to your new apartment" she says as she leads you out of her office...
The two of you walk up a ratheromg stair case as she guides you to your new place on the top floor... Your thankful the place comes furnished as you find yourself winded just from traversing the stairs... As the two of you reach the door, she unlocks it and walks inside...
You take your first look at your new home... It's nothing special, but it will do you figure... The smell of fresh paint permeates the place as she shows you where everything is... Finally, your tour comes to an end and she walks back to the front door...
"Well, congratulations on your new apartment once again. Just let know if there's anything I can assist you with okay dear?" She tells you, as cheerful as earlier...
You nod your head and Jennifer takes her leave... You sigh as the door clicks shut...
