“Poor Merlin…” I thought sadly; and then I continued reading the book; and then eventually enough time had passed that I figured that I’d head over to Woody’s shop to see if he had finished creating a new door for my abode yet; and so then I headed over to his shop, and then once he saw me he said, “Hey, Flick…” and then I said, “Hey, Woody!…

  How’s the door coming along?…” and then he said, “It’s almost completed!…” and then I said, “Cool!…

  Is it alright if I watch you at work while you complete it?…” and then he said, “Sounds good!…” and then I said, “Cool beans!…” and then I watched him complete the door; and then once it was completed he said, “And there we go!…

  All done!…

  And so now we can head over to your abode to instal it whenever you want to!…” and then I said, “Awesome!…

  Oh, and is it okay if I pour some coffee from your coffee maker so that I can drink it while we walk?…” and then he said, “Absolutely!…” and then I said, “Thanks!…” and then I poured myself some coffee; and then the 2 of us headed over to my abode, and then Woody installed the door; and then I said, “It looks great!…” and then I paid him for his work; and then he said, “It was a pleasure doing business with you!, and just let me know if you ever want any more work done!…” and then I said, “I most certainly will!…; and I’ll also plan on recommending your shop to other people too!…” and then Woody said, “That’s very kind of ya, Flick!…

  But, anyhoo, I guess I’ll head back to the shop now; and I hope that you enjoy the rest of your day!…” and then I said, “Sounds good!…

  And I hope that you enjoy the rest of your day too!…” and then we waved final farewells to each other, and then I went inside of my abode to make some food; and then before long I had some food prepared, and then I began eating the food and drinking some water and juice; and then after my meal was completed I decided to go for a nice stroll; and so then I was soon walking along happily; and then I ran into my friend Jenna; and then I said, “Hey, Jenna!…

  How’s it going!…” and then Jenna said, “Hey, Flick!…

  And it’s going pretty good!…; and how are you doin’?” and then I said, “I’m glad that things are going pretty well for you!; and I’m doing pretty well too, though I had to get my door replaced today…” and then Jenna said, “For real?…

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  What happened?…” and then I said, “It went away in a pretty mysterious way…; and I’m actually thinking of maybe trying to hire some detectives or something so that I can try n’ figure out exactly how it happened…

  I mean, I don’t wanna go into all of the details right now, but the whole thing was very bizarre to say the least…” and then Jenna said, “Hmmm…

  Sounds like a mystery that might be pretty tough to solve!…

  But I imagine that there must be some way to figure out exactly what happened…” and then I said, “Hopefully!…

  And, I mean, maybe it doesn’t matter if it gets solved or not; but if something happens once then presumably it could happen again!, and so it seems quite possible to me that figuring out what happened could prevent something similar from happening again in the future!…” and then Jenna said, “Oh yeah, for sure!…

  It’s kinda like with my ex!…

  Like, he kept on getting drunk even though he had told me that he wasn’t the type to get drunk before we’d started dating; and I had wanted to make the relationship last, but I had also not wanted to date someone who would be getting drunk!; and I had thought that letting him know that I didn’t put up with drunkenness before we’d started dating would prevent it from being a problem, but I guess sometimes people form new bad habits even if they didn’t have those habits in the past!…; and so eventually I decided to break up with him because he didn’t seem like he was gonna ditch his drunkenness habit; and so I hope that he’s doing well now and everything, but he and I just weren’t meant to be a romantic couple, I think!…” and then I said, “That’s too bad that his drunkenness prevented you 2 from being romantically compatible, but I guess at least it sounds like you 2 didn’t become enemies or anything like that!…” and then Jenna said, “Thanks!…

  And yeah; we aren’t enemies, we just aren’t romantically compatible…; and so at least we figured out that we weren’t romantically compatible pretty early on!…

  But, anyway, the whole point of me bringing that up had to do with the idea that if something happens once then it might happen again; and so hopefully you’ll be able to figure out what happened so that it’ll be more likely that you won’t have to do any more house repairs because of bizarre and mysterious happenings at your abode!…” and then I said, “Hopefully, indeed!…” and then Jenna said, “Well; it was good seeing you, Flick, but I’m probably wanting to get home now to watch a movie or something…

  And so farewell!…

  Unless you maybe wanna come over to my place and watch a movie?…

  I mean, it’d be fun to have some company!…” and then I grinned and said, “Let’s do it!…” and then Jenna grinned too and said, “Yay!…

  This is gonna be so much fun!…” and then she and I happily headed towards her abode to hang out and watch a movie; and as we walked towards her abode I was in a very cheerful mood, and I felt very confident that whether or not I ever figured out how the door had escaped from my abode the future would be very bright and my friends and I were still going to live happily ever after!…

  The End
