READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 1: Christmas Past
Modesto, California December 24 2024
Twas the night before Christmas and within a small house our mc was stirring with his pet mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, while he debated which movie to share. He was nestled all snug on the fillings of his couch, while vision of sugar-plums pronounced around. When outside there arose such a clatter, he sprang from his couch to see what was the matter.

I accept
"Good on behalf of the universe I thank you for accepting this mission. In a second I will send you off to your new life and I wish you the best of luck… Santa Claus"
