Day 3. Ok, here we go. Uneventful day. Went to work at midnight, did two calls on the ambulance, made it home and into bed. All in all a successful day. Slept maybe six hours, woke up to find the house empty so I prepped supper. Watched some pulp fiction before my boy showed up. He's only 8 so I changed the channel to something more appropriate.

About me: I'm a American Caucasion male in my 30s. I'm a father, a first responder, a public servant, and I can be extremely selfish. I have never had a blog before but, I have had always had a love of sci fi, and fantasy, and I have many stories in that realm swimming around my head.
