It was the sun that woke me up,the sudden rays shining through my windows,as the
sun began to peek out from behind the clouds.Today looked like it was going to be a
good day,i would just sit and be with my wife for the full day.However,that thought
was suddenly snatched from my mind,along with all the hope for a normal day.My
phone began to ring,with the name of the great man himself,not the president,but
Sherlock Holmes.I honestly wanted to just let it ring,because then,the light of the sun
may actually flood back into the room,restoring any colour that was just here.
“Watsons honey,your breakfast is ready,I made your favourite...Dippy egg and
Soldiers!”my wife called out to me.That then was my sign from God;he had shown
me that I should leave my phone alone and spend the day at home.So with that,I
rushed out my room and to the kitchen where of course my breakfast lay,bursting
with steam and grease.
“Luckily im not at work today isnt it”
“Well yes it is,but didnt you…”my wife suddenly got cut off by the sound of someone
ringing the doorbell.
