Furthemore - Fall 2000 - Dawson

  Fall 2000 Trina Dawson , 18y Event: Rob someone - Steal 11k  Fall for the Trina started kind of early.  She woke up before the sun and went outside to play in some puddles but she had a bad feeling. She did her best to shake it off and stayed outside a bit longer. The mailman came but when Trina saw the news her heart broke. Ari had died. Trina had wondered why her house looked so dark all day.  Bad feeling confirmed she starts painting on her easel.  I need some money  she thought to herself. The town didn't have a lot of job opportunities and her money was running low.  Kenny calls her later that afternoon to talk about the news of Ari dying. They never did get along though so him calling about it was shocking to her.  Afternoon gossip out of the way Trina spends it relaxing before getting tired and heading to bed.  Once she was awake she makes her favorite food while she thinks of get rich quick schemes.  None of her ideas were very good so she heads out to do some woodworking

  Winter, 2000 Kamari Johnson, 18y Event: Get yellow fever, roll d20 to determine survival  Ari's first 'full' season starts with her being robbed blind lmfao. Kenny takes her newspaper for that day while she was sleep.  Bright and early the next morning we start trying to complete her first ltw. I play LTWs a bit differently, My LTWs are all custom, and they have to complete 3 of them to get the permaplat.  She doesn't make it to friendship level with Sandy but we see another sim walk by and have her greet him. He notices the strange man and ask Ari about it.  T:  What's up with that guy? A:  Oh him? That's my stalker. After a busy day of making friends Ari finally sits down to some soup as she was not feeling so well. That was the reason she had sent home her guest.  By the next morning her general unwellness had turned into full out coughing her lung up and trouble breathing. Ari was a tad worried but with no hospital in town there was no way for her to cure

  Thelma (Henson) Atkinson, 53y (Dead);  Elijah Atkinson , 43y;  Helene (Orozco) Atkinson , 44y;  Ollie Atkinson , 13y;  Maxwell Atkinson , 13y The end of slavery wasn't great for everyone, a lot of enslaved people were left with nothing but the clothes on their backs and dream. The Atkinson family was such a family. After 5 years of struggling they finally bit the bullet and went into sharecropping.  The work was grueling and Elijah didn't want this for his children so he often made young Maxwell read. They had sent him to school for as long as they could but now that he was a teen he was expected to help around the house some.  The Atkinson's spent very long hours out tending the fields. Elijah could do nothing for the hurt and hate he felt for his wife having such a hard life.  Exciting times were happening in the country, Joseph H. Rainey of SC becomes second black US congressmen.  Joe was a good friend of the family and a sharecropper himself, he stayed late through t

Aging is realistic - The seasons amount to 3 months of the year - This story will be real, raw, and graphic.

Elnora lookes over at her pride and joy, Audra, with her grandbaby, Tamika. The girls were enjoying a simple game after the morning chores. Meanwhile Elnora youngest was talking with the Mullins boy. She had high hopes that they would end up together but they fought like brother and sister. Elnora shakes her head at her daughter, the clock was ticking now that she was an young adult and there just wasn't time for these childish games. The family did count their blessings though as they were able to secure some land from Mr. Rock. He insisted that all freemen call him by his first name though the ladies did not feel right about it and often p
