Chapter 1; A Day In the Life
Fang stared at the television watching "Cheaters" and reminiscing about his day.
Nothing he said to himself, nothing but lounging around; pure bliss.
He thought of how downright funny, yet wrong it was that someone would cheat in their own home when they knew that their spouse would be arriving very soon. It cracked him up! And sure as heck made for good television!
1:00…
As Fang picked up the remote and began to scroll through the channels, he heard a loud shout coming from the stairs. Startled, he turned around, not too surprised to discover that it was only the two boys, Gazzy and Iggy, fighting over who would drive the car to the grocery store.
Even though Gazzy was only 14, he apparently thought he could drive. Needless to say, Iggy won the battle.
Fang watched them struggle out the door to the car thinking how crazy yet wonderful his "family" was.
Reluctantly, he pulled himself away from the television screen, realizing that all of that ruckus could have cost him any chance of a day of pure bliss, to go check on his and Max's 11 month old daughter, Faith. Hopefully she hadn't woken up from the two teenagers. He opened the door to the room he shared with them, finding her staring wide eyed at him with a binky in her mouth. Faith raised her arms to him and started to cry. He hoisted her out of her crib, gave her a kiss, and carried her downstairs.
He sat the little girl in her high chair and went to the cupboard to grab some Cheerios, or "Ios", as Faith called them. He reached for the box but it slipped from his hand and fell to the ground causing an explosion of Cheerios. He could hear Faith suck in a breath and say "Uh oh…" as their 80 pound Malamute Akila trotted up to the mess and started munching wildly.
He sighed. What a day, Fang thought. Then—day? What alifetime.
