There are times when you wished that you had stayed home and watched TV. Or that you had gone to that Dinner Party your friend was hosting last night. But when you're anything like me a dinner party looks a lot like this. Me all alone on a Sunday night sitting in a beat up sofa, I got from a cousin last Christmas. Eating the Chinese food that's been in the fridge for who knows how long. Yeah my life is a bit of a downer, but I deal with it. I have a good job with an okay reputation, a cameraman for a Daily Planet reporter named Clark Kent. I used to think he was this big hotshot reporter that needed to be knocked off his rocker. I found him to be quite nice, even to me. But he can be very mysterious sometimes, he'll be beside me one second and gone the next. Personally, when I was first assigned to him, I thought he was the Flash because of that disappearing act. But... no offense to the Flash, Kent has some muscle on him and he's also taller then him too. My job keeps the bills paid and the taxes in check, so I'm happy.

Typical Monday, I get up to go to work early in the morning. I arrive at work 5 minutes before my boss starts calling. This especially because my boss is Perry White, the most aggressive man to ever work for. The head honcho of the Daily Planet newspaper. Now me, I'm no reporter, I'm not even a writer. I'm just the picture guy. As I have said before I work for Clark Kent, I am his cameraman. It's his routine to ask me how my night was. I guess that's because I look rough. It's Monday, you're not supposed to get fancy. Though Mr. Kent dresses up every day. Me, all I need is a tee shirt with the Daily Planet on it, blue jeans with no holes, and sneakers. That's my outfit and most of the time it doesn't change. Now you might be asking, what this got to do with my story. If your one of those people, it has everything to do with my story. As I covered the story that Lois Lane should have jumped on the site to get, it changed my life forever.
