As Jake entered the zoo for his first day at the job, he did not want to mess up on anything. He wanted to prove he was the right employee for this place. He entered and saw all of the animals and marveled that he would be working here. He had dreamed to be a zoologist but there were still some things that mystified him.

He walked into the zoo and went to the clerk. She was a short woman, long black hair, and white glasses. She wore a red dress that complemented her red lips.

“Hey, I am here for my first day of the job! My name is Jake Kale.” The woman looked at him and than wrote something on her computer. He stood there awkwardly waiting for the woman to tell him something.

When he looked at the clerk, she rose an eyebrow at the computer, looking at him, then back at the screen.

“Well, you, my friend, have been designated to work in room 777, 7 floors down.”

I became confused and looked at her for more answers but she had resumed her work, so he went to the elevator; just around the corner and entered it. He pressed the number seven and as it started to go down it hummed. The elevator lobby music played as Jake waited to arrive at floor 7.

When the number turned to seven, he expected to see a room with offices and thinking he applied for the wrong job but when the double doors slid open, he was awestruck.

He saw a massive expanse of green land. This was not a room or floor. This was a whole other world. He saw hills and mountains and forests covering the land. The sun was up and clouds were floating with no care in the world.

Jake stepped out of the elevator warily and touched the green grass. The elevator disappeared behind him and he started to get worried. He looked forward and walked, trying to find someone.

After a few minutes, he came to a a wooden cabin that looked like it was brand new. He knocked on the door expecting someone to answer, but the door swung open letting him in. He entered the place and looked around. He saw a kitchen, dining table, couches, a bathroom, and a cozy bed all in the same room.

He walked over to the table and saw a note on it. It read:

“Hello Jake Kale!!! I have seen that you have made it to your new home! When I hired you, I knew I saw something special in you, almost magical, and I knew that you would be the perfect person to take care of this world. You will find that the refrigerator will always be full and you will always have water and heat in this place. I trust you, Jake!! Don’t let me down!”

At that, the note ended and Jake was shaking. He would not be able to go back to Earth but he also didn’t have any family or friends. This was his new home now. He went out of the cabin; to see the house surrounded by magical, beautiful beasts that were looking at him.

“We wanted to welcome you to our humble abode, human. I hope you will be able to keep this world as the previous did!” Said one of the beasts that was currently flying.

“I will try my best!” Said Jake flabbergasted by the talking animals.

“Good! Well, we will see you later! Welcome… to the land of Ashlock!”
