The Moot Mansion
After waking up in my camper I love seeing my nearly empty bedroom with the most beautiful view. People with such full spaces are so crowded and unorganized it makes me sick. I stand with pride recognizing my minimalist style. People often say
"how do you only live with the bare necessities?" I simply reply the same way every time, "I can't see how you can survive with it all!" I look drowsily at the clock. It has the numbers 8:00. "It's already eight" I scream. I'm going to be late to my new job! My parents have recently said I have been slacking off on work so, I applied to a second job apart from my weekend only shifts. I get dressed quickly and start driving to my clients mansion. I've been thinking about what job I should apply to. The night before I look at last minute jobs. I see cleaning services. I've never liked cleaning but once I saw the money I didn't hesitate to accept the job. As I reach the address I can't believe what I'm seeing! "A mansion?!?"
"How could I've been so blind!" Of course, that's why they offered me so much money. I could turn back now but I had already spent so much time driving here It would be wrong to give up.
I proceed to click the fancy doorbell in an attempt to get the owner's attention. The door opens, I see an elderly woman step out of the house.
"Hello you must be the cleaning service come on in!" I enter the house soon to realize that the house is a complete disaster. Floors that look like have never been cleaned, shelves that have probably never been organized, and what's even worse is all the cluttered items everywhere. I was disgusted by the image I was processing. Why would someone buy such a big house if they were never going to clean it.
"I know it's a handful to process but if you won't be able to manage it I can just hire other people." I would see all the hope in her eyes vanish. Maybe the reason the house is so cluttered is because she can't organize it herself. Others probably aren't up to the task so that doesn't help either.
"No it's perfectly fine" I respond.
"Thank you so much. It has been a pain trying to find people to clean this monster."
"I can imagine" I mumble under my breath.
I guess I'll leave you to work then. I'll be out for a couple of hours so it's fine if you don't finish."
As she leaves I realize how big of a mess I have put myself in.
"I guess I should get to work then" I sigh and find out how I'm going to handle this situation I've gotten myself in.
I begin to explore the mansion to find a bunch of silly features this big messy house has.
"What's this?" I see a button and can't help myself. "Whoa" the counter starts opening and reveals a HUGE stash of candy.
"If I hadn't seen the owner a few minutes ago I would've guessed this had belonged to a child billionaire!" I laugh at the encounter and continue cleaning.
A few minutes later I find another secret opening. This time it reveals a room full of antique clothing that looks like it belonged to a warrior from WW2.
"These encounters have made my day!" I suddenly feel like all this work wasn't such a bad idea after all!
