Precious Moments
by Douglas Goff
A Typical Day Contest Winner
I’m 192 miles from home, working midnights in Kalamazoo, guarding a factory that received an active-shooter threat.
7:12 PM RING! “Hello Dad? I can’t find the cat. Oh, can I eat the last donut? Mom said I could."
8:13 PM RING! “Honey? There’s a wet spot on the ceiling. The roof may be leaking. Oh, Ryker said you gave him the last donut?"
9:21 PM RING! “Hello, Dad? My BFFN (Best Friend For Now) just called and told me she’s mad at me. Oh yeah, Ryker ate my donut."
10:00 PM Ring! “Goodnight, Dad! Goodnight, Dad! Goodnight, Honey!”
Precious moments.
