Episode 1: Meet Ibrahim Hollows

"Okay you're here 15 Summer Hill Court, right kid?" The taxi driver stopped the cab and pointed to a mass lot with nothing there.


I peered into the window of the cab and all I can see  is vast lot.


"Are you sure Mister? Is this really 15 Summer Hill Court?" I asked again, just to make sure.


"I ain't telling you twice, kid. This is it," the driver answered him annoyingly.




Still in my confused state, I paid the driver and stepped out of the cab. I can see the driver shaking his head. He thinks I'm the new, crazy dude.


I looked at the paper that was given to me for this lot and read the contents of it. It was name after me, "Ibrahim Hollows" I sighed. This was really it. I was hoping that it was a house. Dead parents sure can be nasty at times.


So this is my new place. I let my eyes roam around. My neighbors are rich, I can see in their houses.


I shake my head in disbelief. I have to really adjust myself in this town.




This is my own place, the only thing left by my parents. I felt lonely but at the same time I'm happy.


My name is Ibrahim Hollows. I came from Twinbrook Orphanage. I lived for almost 18 years of my existence with others like me, no family, either by dead parents or by selfish parents, it's just either of the two. Me? My parents died in a car accident and I was the only one alive. They say it's a miracle, I say it's a curse. The nuns searched for my relatives but they only found one and he was dying of old age. He didn't want to do anything with me. So I stayed with the orphanage and was raised by the nuns there.


Well, enough of those sad stories. I have to moved on and as one of the letters that was found by the nuns. My father's dream is to make the "Hollows" name known to the Sim World. So I want my dream and my parents's dream to come true.


"I can feel that this lot was bought to start your dreams dad, with me and mom. It may never happen to us, but I will make that dream came true." I thought sadly.


"HELLO SUNSET VALLEY!!!!"I shouted excitedly.


                               **************************************************




With nothing to do in my place, that's obvious because there was nothing there but Bermuda grass,I decided to visit Sunset Valley Park while thinking what to do with my big place.


In the park, I met Jocasta Bachelor, the "chatter box". I gave he that name because nothing can stop her mouth from talking about everything. I glanced at my clock and politely interrupt her talking, I told her a life that I have to do something. Even when saying our goodbyes, I wasted 15 minutes of my sim time.




I rolled my eyes when she walked away. I made sure she'w gone before I started to meet other people. Then a beautiful long-haired girl came, stepped at the steps of the park smiling.


My heart suddenly fluttered, I don't know why. There's a nagging voice inside of me that keeps saying to say hi to her.


I gather all my courage and walked towards her. 


"Hey!" I said to her nervously.


She looked at me and responded," A new face in town? I'm Morgana Wolff, and you are?"


"Ibrahim Hollows" it was all I could reply. 




The more we talked, the more I liked here. We shared a common trait, we both are family-oriented. We dream of having many kids of our own. I just want to say to her that maybe I can make a baby with you.


So I took up all my courage and asked her if she is single. She raised her right hand and on her ring finger there is a gold ring plated with diamonds.


For a moment my dream of having a family with her were shattered. I tried to regain my composure and just smiled at her.


"I'm married to Thornton Wolff" she said coldly.


I noticed the icy tone when he mentioned her husband. I wanted to asked her if there is any problem with her marriage, but that was asking for too much. So I just told her that I'm going somewhere and she just gave me her number.




"Nice talking to you Ibrahim. Just gave me a ring if you want to hang out" she told me before she left.


I felt sad when she walked away. I really liked her but she is still with someone. I want to make a family not break one. 




I decided to go to the Sunset Valley Library to check out their books. I'm a bookworm and love reading stories and I want to make one. I just want to relax for a while and not think of Morgana, I can't stop thinking about her. It's just a waste a beauty if ever her husband is not making her happy.




I decided to pick up a books entitled, "How To Spin The Plates?". Then a guy looked at me in a weird way. I did not move and feel him what he would do. He was staring for 10 minutes without moving and walked away. What a weird man!




I finished reading the book and I just learn that in order to spin the plates I have to maintain my balance. Then I decided to find a work that could pay my monthly bills, with only 1800§ left in my money, I need a  job to work on the house and pay my monthly dues. I found a work for being a test subject. It's dangerous to the body but I think my body can take it, it's the only work I can do. I just it's safe.


As I turned off the computer I noticed a cute blondie with a flower on her ear. I had to forget Morgana and find a way to meet a girl that could be with me forever. I decided to meet her.




 Her name is Zelda Mae, she works in the theatre. She's not really what I expected and she just don't get my jokes so our conversation become boring. I decided to end the conversation before I she really gets annoyed!


I stifled a laughter! She gets annoyed because I keep making a joke in a book that she is reading about coffee monster! Well at least she is a cute girl.


I decided to master the charisma skill because I want to impress the girls people in town. This would be one of my weapon for the days ahead especially in my career.

When I finished the charisma skills course the sun was almost down, but I want to practice what I learn. I saw a man in the front of the city hall. I decided to use what I learn and give him a charming introduction.

We got on the right track! He's a good man, Beau Andrews. We both have the same thing, we both eat the food the same way. He decided to say goodbye though because he had to meet his wife after her work here in the city hall. We say our goodbyes and promise we'll hang out again.


My stomach growledl. It's asking for food, so I decided to eat go to the bistro. It is one of the finest restaurants in Sunset Valley. I ordered Ratatouille for my dinner. I never tasted this good in my life. Back at the orphanage, my diet is just composed of cereal, steamed vegetables and if it's lucky we had meat every now and then. We usually have that in holidays.




After the delicious meal, I met Pauline Wan. She's such a sweet girl, we had fun chatting and knowing each other lives, but it turns out that she is like Morgana. She is not married but engaged to man name Hank Goddard. 


I'm a bit frustrated with this town, almost all of the beautiful girls are taken and I'm fearing that there is nothing left for me.




Before I left the bistro, my cellphone rung and it was Morgana on the other line. She said she was lonely at their house because she's waiting for his husband. It hurt me a bit, but she was a new friend and I listen to her rants about her husband who is not home for dinner.


I hear a choke behind me, I turned around and saw a man clearing his throat.


"Hey, just hold on for a while" I told Morgana to wait for the other line.


I approached the man. " Hey are okay Mister?" I asked him.


"I'm fine.Just mind your own business kid!" He snarled at me and went inside the restaurant.


I shook my head and continue the conversation with Morgana. (He doesn't the know that the rude man he had spoken to is Morgana's husband, Thornton Wolff! haha)




Before heading home, I went first grocery shop to buy seeds for my garden. This is for another income that I could have to build my house. This is what I love to do back at the orphanage. I'm a green thumb so I know how grow good vegetables and fruits.




I decided to plant the seeds that I bought. I'm expecting an Apple Tree, Lettuce and Grapes. This would be my starter plants. I hope I could make my garden bigger.




Then I went to bed to rest my body and be early for tomorrow for my 1st day at work. I dreamt of the future, my Science career, a family and a big house where I can see my children, yes children, running the halls. 


I hope you can see back there mom and dad! I'm happy. Just guide me and I'll make you proud there in heaven.




First day in Sunset Valley has finished good for our founder, Ibrahim Hollows. He found a job, met people and bulit a garden. Things maybe slow but every big things starts from small things. Let's look forward for the future of this legacy. Let's see on the next episode!
