       It was the third time this week,

That I had to stay late after work. The

work it self wasn't too bad, reading

through articals and ironing out any

kinks they might have left after the

First draft, with most of the time

wasn't a whole lot. when I went into

journalism this isn't what I  had in

mind. Sitting behind a desk

editing other peoples tall tales and

adventures, while I stayed inside and

made friends with the coffee maker.

But at the moment it payed the bills

and brought me one step closer to my

dream job, as a full time journalist.

The last hour felt nearly as long as the

day it self but as I hit submit I could

finely go home. I waved to my co-

workers who shared the same dead

expression I had glued to my face.

I began my hour walk home when I

noticed a shady figure in the corner

of my eye. I didn't think much of it

the city had many strange individuals

especially this late into the night and

besides I always carried a small

switch blade in my pocket for

protection in reality it wouldn't do

much but it gave me piece of mind

for the most part. At this point I was

also too tiered to care. I limped my

way home, unlocked my many locks

And planted firmly on my tiny, cheap

bed witch in that moment felt like

Heaven, I quickly dozed off.
