Damn it! I shouted. I couldn’t believe what was happening. A strange character had appeared in my Farming Simulator 19 game. The stranger zoomed past me in his Land Cruiser. He wasn’t supposed to be there. I leapt into my fast, green- striped Charger and chased him down. Suddenly he disappeared. I looked behind me and there he was, again! I pulled over to let him pass, but he stopped too. The stranger jumped out of his car and walked menacingly towards me. I zoomed off, skidding the tyres. I quickly sped away, looking back nervously.
I began cruising around, whilst frantically searching for the Land Cruiser. I decided to wait for him, so I hid behind some thick, prickly, purple bushes, on the side of the road. The stranger flew past, so I chased after him. I wasn’t going to let him destroy my house, my game or let him take all my hard-earned money!

This game of Cat and Mouse we were playing was getting me nowhere, so I decided to vote kick him out of the game. The mysterious and dangerous stranger, thankfully chose to leave without me losing anything. Now, I could happily play my Farm Simulator 19 in peace!
