Katri and the Case of the Haunted Asylum, Day 32 (Finale)

[katrisims]

Day 32.

Well, this was it. The day of the truth. With all that hard work behind me, would I be able to get promoted today and finally get us out of here, or would we all be stuck here for (at least) another three days? Gosh, we needed to get out of here so bad it wasn't funny.



The household wasn't in great shape. When I glanced out, there was already an argument going on, and Cecily seemed to be looking for food from the trash. Annie, who's one of the better adjusted ones, was being the target of the attention of a skunk.



Alright, first things first. If I wanted us to manage, whether I were to get a promotion or not, I'd have to keep everyone fed. And I would absolutely not take any risks either, so cereal it was.



Not for me though. I was still missing a logic skill point for the promotion requirements, so I would be having eggplant juice instead.



At this point, I didn't need to drink too much juice before I got the desired skill point. Just as I'd planned. I was ready, as ready as I was going to be.



I had a little bit of time left before work, so I spent it on the phone, talking to those friends I hadn't heard from in a little bit, maintaining the relationships.

As I glanced outside, I saw Felix and Gabriel sharing a hug. Maybe they were trying to ease the tension.



Well, this is it. Time to get on the carpool. There's nothing to be done at this point except try to do my best and hope everything goes well, both here in the asylum and at work. Fingers crossed!



It was a good thing I had time to make a good helping of breakfast. The werewolves are always hungry.





I wonder if the day was as long for the inmates as it was for me. They were surely looking for some ways to entertain themselves.





I'm sure that drama couldn't be avoided, not when so much is up in the air.



All I could do was try to concentrate on work and hope that they'd be alright, for just a bit longer.



I cannot believe it, my workday is done and I made it! I became a City Planner!

Even better, I just heard from the facility that I've "proven my sanity, or at least that I can complete a challenge", and I'm free to go! We're all free to go!

Now I have to let everyone know, they'll be ecstatic! And after that, I'll...


... wake up? In my own bed?

Now this is confusing.



Did I just... just dream that up, is that it? Assuming that this was just one night, how could I have? If it was a dream, it was longer and more detailed than any dream I've ever had.

And, I definitely don't feel like cereal for breakfast, I'll make pancakes instead.



Everything seems to be just like I last saw it. The calendar on my phone says I definitely haven't been gone a month.
Still, I can remember it all. Normally, I'd only be having vague snippets at this time.

Maybe it was a dream. It seems I'm starting to lose the faces, and names. I'm trying to hold on to them, but they're slipping away from me.

I'd better get moving, if I don't want to be late for work. It seems I still have time to take the park route.




Wow, it's busier here than I've ever seen at this time. Still, it's a nice park. I suppose others have taken notice of it too.

I'm still not entirely convinced it was a dream, it felt so real. Something feels fishy. But I suppose I'll have to assume it was just that, a dream. I mean, even if it wasn't... how would I ever find out?

That's it, that ends Day 32, and the whole challenge Katri and the Case of the Haunted Asylum at that! Like everything, it's taken much longer than it was supposed to. Even so, it's my first ever finished, published challenge, so I'm pretty proud!

Despite the drama in the household, I actually finished with a pretty nice score, too. All of the household stayed alive for the duration of the challenge, and especially with the 10 ghosts off the bat that's not a small feat. Here comes the score for the interested:
