Eric had just woken up, dusk was falling he could tell by the ache in his bones. He sighed heavily, some nights were not worth getting up for. Eric's shift started at midnight. That was probably the only good thing his day had to look forwards too. He laughed softly. Well not entirely through. He had the convention to look forward to. A few days from now it would prove to be a very nice addition to the boring macabre of his life.<br/><br/>Eric rose and dressed quickly. He had his breakfast and headed out once the sun had fully set. Dressed in simple jeans and a t-shirt he would change once he got to work. It wasn't even a block away from his house so Eric decided to walk the night streets towards the small animal clinic he ran.<br/><br/>He could see the lights on already inside, probably because Richard hadn't left yet, or maybe because the store should be closed at this hour, but maybe someone was still inside looking at the animals. Eric knew Richard and his sister Lisa who ran the store for him never tended to close it if there were people inside. Eric headed into the store first to check it out.
