The Life of Jerry

I'm a returning player after not playing since 2018, its been a long time so current players must look at me like I'm absolute nutcase but here we go, the tale of my latest life as "Jerry"

I was born with no family name, my mother, Constance gave birth to me on the floor of the "baby" room, our town was on the decline and everyone was getting older so we really needed more babies, we had plenty of food and plenty of work but not the people. At the same time one of my distant relatives, Horizon, gave birth to another boy named Melvin, me and Melvin grew up together, worked together and tried our best to keep the place going, I decided that my best place was to maintain the graveyard since it had been awhile since anyone had collected up the bones of our loved ones and laid them to rest, I wish I had spent more time with my mother but I wasn't even there for her at the end and could only cradle her bones and lay her with the rest of our large and extensive family, I was the youngest of my siblings, I had my older brother Paul who worked the hardest out of everyone here and kept working all the way to his death. Eventually our town was blessed with a baby girl, our last hope for the future and she was named Ally. Ally's mother was a new mother who didn't know how to care for her new baby and it got close to losing her a few times, I used to sneak her into the kitchen and feed her pie sometimes.

It got to a stage where there was only four of us left, me, Paul, Melvin and Ally and three of us were already elderly, to keep the food supply up I split my time between looking after the dead and being the chef not the best combination of jobs and I can confirm all bodies stayed buried.

Finally Ally came of age but sadly lost her first two children very quickly, some souls aren't meant for this world but she managed to have another two babies while I was still alive, I was there to witness the start of the next generation after she gave birth to two baby girls, with this I have hope our town can continue as it has and I hope one day our gods will look down at me and send me back to my family to be born again, seeing the future as bright I stumbled to my graveyard and took my last breathes among the sleeping tombs of my ancestors, my life and job finally finished.

There's no account of anyone starting to yell, I don't know, because of cheatin' or something, and then a fight ensuing that security needs to break up in the above.  You sure your name was Jerry?

Alright, maybe you don't get the reference...

Ah sorry, sadly not! Although it does remind me of a game called Dinner Date in which you go to dinner with a man called Jerry and honestly you wanna smash him over the head with the bottle of wine.

Its ok.  I think I've dated myself with that reference, and some others around here probably got it (or would if they read it).  And honestly, I don't think that the Jerry Springer Show was worth watching anyways, but it was something that a lot of people learned about one way or another who are about my age.

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
