The Home 'Among' Us

One day in an Among us gaming world, the Skeld spaceship smashed into earth. Crewmate Red was mad because the driver wasn’t being safe. Crewmate Blue came out of the broken spaceship to see what was going on. He was sleeping until the crash happened. Red was sad because the spaceship had been damaged, he had ‘no shelter’ or place to live. Red didn’t know if he would ever be able to live with his crewmates ever again. The driver had an idea. He was going to find a shelter for everyone because he felt bad about the accident. Red did not like the idea because he wanted to have a home not just a shelter. The driver asked, “what is the difference between a shelter and a home?” Red explained, “a home is a cozy bed, a family and a roof. A shelter is just a building.” The driver thought for a moment and said, “My task will be to create a shelter and your task can be to fill it with love to make it a home.” Red and Blue agreed to the challenge. Two days later, the driver announced, “I’m done. Are you going to pay me money for all my hard work?” Red replied, “Uh… maybe? That’s a shelter so you have completed your task. You created the building with a roof, walls, tables, beds, windows, and furniture using cement, wood, plastic and glass. We are going to do the love tasks making it a home for us all. We will share memories, hugs and time with one another in the shelter you built.” The driver decided, “no charge, as long as you complete your task. You must make this a home because that means more to us all than a shelter.” The crewmates began on their task working together to turn the building into a home.” Task one was to eat together and watch a movie.
