Paradise (Roleplay)

I slide down a stone wall and daydream. Life was so... Boring. It was the same thing every day. Wake up, collect wood, sell wood, eat, collect more wood then sleep. "I just wish, something different would happen. I wish life here wasn't so dull."
 
When the basket of potatoes is full, I take it into the wooden building at the far end of our field, where all of the sacks are. I wash the dirt off the potatoes and fill up the sacks, leaving the full sacks in the corner for me to take to sell later. On the way back with the basket, I see a girl slumped against a stone wall not too far from here. I go over to see if she's alright, and recognise her when I get closer as Harley, the lumberjack.
 
Seeing there's no trouble tonight, I stroll casually down the street. No need for a cop car today, I guess. My shift is almost up. I'm basically just waiting for the other guy to show up.

I notice a girl approach me and I look at her confused. "Excuse me, do I know you?"
 
"Probably not, but I've seen you around before, you're a lumberjack, right?" I reply. "My name is Sakura, my family runs the farm not far from where we are now. You seemed kinda depressed, so I thought I'd come and make sure you're alright."
 
I can't fall asleep, no matter how hard I try. I go outside, and sit on the roof of my shack of a house.
I sing a song my mother sung me, that helped me sleep.

Everything has a song
That's hidden deep inside
That they can unleash
If they really try
The whispers in the willows
Are songs each their own
The creaking of the timbers
Just want to be alone
 
"Sure this place isn't always the most exciting place in the world, but we could be worse off. Everyone knows there role, and everything fits together nicely. It's a peaceful place, and we don't have to worry about anything going awfully wrong."
 
"Yeah but..." I get up off the floor. "I don't want to fit in. Life is boring, I want to have some fun!" I look to the sky. "Is it just me that wishes for something to change?'
 
"As nice as that would be, I doubt anything different will happen. It would be fun to do something different for a change, but I'm quite content with what I do. After all, our farm is the only one in this town, most of the vegetables here are grown on it. It's pretty important for the town, since we can't rely on the city for everything."
 
I wake up suddenly of a nightmare, which is completely normal as that happens daily just another nightmare of me being killed I jump out of bed, as I can't get back to sleep. I walk down the stairs and notice my mom flipping through the photo album. I bet those are her wedding pictures I hid behind the wall, looking at the big clock facing me ticking loudly.
