One Hour One Life Forums

On my first real playthrough, I was born into a pretty sturdy village - the type with walls, carts full of carrots, an established process, and so forth.

But the older generation was dying off quickly. My mother disappeared early in my life - I was never sure what really happened to her, and my brother ran off with my uncle.

I fell in with my grandmother, helping her as best I could with what limited knowledge I had. When I was a teenager, she died, hastily teaching me how to make pie - her main contribution to the village, at that time - before she did.

I felt a little helpless after her death. The village was suddenly quiet - there were a few others around, but they didn't seem to do much. I saw one child be born, but it ran into the wilderness to die. I didn't know what to do, and the items scattered around the village were confusing to me, so I did my best to tidy things.

I built a rudimentary graveyard off to one side - it seemed only for the best that the center of the village wasn't covered with the bones of its former residents. I spent a lot of time cleaning up the village, stacking plates, baskets, and parking carts full of supplies.

There was plenty of food to sustain me for my entire life, and I didn't know enough about farming practices to get the raw materials required to make more advanced food, anyway. So I relegated myself to janitorial duties, and lame attempts at infrastructure, hoping someone would one day come along who would sweep me off my feet and help me run the village. Help me understand my place.

No such luck. I'm not sure what became of our village after I died. I hope my brother and uncle survived me; maybe they had children of their own in some other nearby village.

I don't know. Either way, I died in the graveyard, just to keep the place tidy.

A meager contribution, but hopefully someone will appreciate it when they stumble across the village someday.
