It was already turning dark out and everything was quiet. Tomorrow was the big day and the streets were lit up with decorations, people had their lawns and homes decorated like they were in competition with each other for most lights and there was music coming from some houses that were getting the festivities started early. I was tired as shit but all I wanted to do was go home and wake my daughter up if she was already in bed and kiss her all over her little face.
