The Mechanic, Page 3

Patricia had a job now she had to find and apartment. She looked in the real estate section of the computer city chronicle. She had a budget of about two thousand dollars a month and that was a good sum for the computer city realist estate. She circled several listings that were in the paper and called the numbers. She made appointments to see the properties.

The next day she planned to make a day of it looking at houses and apartments to rent. She got up early and ate breakfast and got in her car to drive to the first appointment.

It was an apartment on main street. It was a two story house with 4 bedrooms and 2 bath building. It was a turn of the century building and It was a bit to old as Patricia decided that she wanted to live in a newer house or apartment. The house was yellow with dormers and flower boxes on the windows. It was gorgeous but, to old.

The next place she looked at was an apartment. It was contained in a five story building in downtown computer city positioned next to one of computer city's biggest department store/supermarket. The store was called Carothers and owned by a millionaire name John goodson. Patrice was happy that the apart would be right next to a store so that she would not have to drive to get groceries. She would not have to spend a lot on gas to feed herself. She could go shopping every day if she wanted to and not have to have a refrigerator. Which would saver her having to buy one and save a lot of money on her energy costs wich she had to take into consideration when deciding to rent places. She defiantly liked to save money and save energy in the process. The environment was important to her. The apartment was a one room affair with one bathroom. It was just the right size for a single person like herself. She did not want a place that was to big as that would mean more energy to heat the place during winter. She would give this place strong consideration.

She only had one place to visit. It was a house that she could by not just rent. It was blue with white trim and 2 bed 1 bath that was part of a new building complex on the west side of computer city. Patricia like the idea of buying a house rather than renting a house or an apartment. She would not waste her money on rent and she would own her own place and that provided a sense of security. She liked that. Because if she ever lost her job at least if she had the house paid off she would not have to worry about losing a her house or her place to live.
