In Which Winter goes away too soon, and the routine once again, for my joy

Why hello there, sir friend, good morning and happy new week! How was your previous one, and how are you today, on this week that begins? As for me, I am okay, I'd say... after a bit of a positively happy birthday week, even with any sorrow that may have afflicted me, ah, it is what it is, just satisfied in retrospect with the birthday moments! It was low key, but I had a good piece of cheesecake! How is the weather in your side of things? Here, it has been heating up, as if spring arrived earlier. Overall, even with a drier winter, the subtle heat was perceived, as the sweater days are more scarce, and the socks start to spend more time in their drawer. The slippers change, the cushioned one is slowly being lesser used, why the others are more enjoyed, though soon it will be uncomfortable for those as well, and the typical rubber open shoes in japanese fashion will be in full swing again.

The Adventures of Mr D'Onofrio and his suitcase with 700 socks! Chapter 17

 “HALT! WHO COMES THERE?” Said the man, dressed in a fancy military uniform.

“Greetings. I am Zachary D’Onofrio, and this is Adelaide Forster. We’re heading to the Land of Socks”

“And where do you, lady and Gentleman, come from?”

“I am from the major City of Small People, from the woods”

“And I come from faraway lands and I come to see the Land of socks”

“I see, I must take note on the people that come in and come out, since the number of visitors from this area of the woods is scarce and may be suspicious, just as a matter of protocol, though, the Land of Socks is an open place for travelers such as yourselves”

“Is the Land of Socks close?” Asked Zach, barely hiding his enthusiasm”

“You’re stepping on it, just sign these book, and keep on walking, our Capital is close”

Zach and Adelaide could barely believe it; they have reached their destination, the Land of Socks. Zach was shaking when signing his name on the paper, and Adelaide was smiling wide-open. After the sentinel granted them right of passage, they started to run, happy, to their place, the trees were orange on the land of socks, the grass was a bit orange too, the sky kept on getting darker as the sun was going down and the moon was taking his place, and yet they were shining of joy. When they saw the first home, that had beautiful socks in its window, Zach felt like in a dream. They soon realized that this house was just the beginning, as they walked, one become dozen, and dozen become the capital of the Land. Zach was there.

He and Adelaide knock on a door, timidly, but also excitingly. The people that opened it were kind, and let them in with no further problems. Zach sang for them with an even more powerful energy while Adelaide was having dinner. They soon repeated the procedure, until Zach even started to get famous in the city, just a few hours after arriving. He was on his personal paradise.
