Another early morning begins with coffee and newspaper for James Blackwall, he drinks his coffee slowly and reads an article about the upcoming firefighter games. He couldn't wait to be apart of them for the first year, after finishing the article he flipped the page. That page was obitchuaries, he read the title of a few, a rush of chills went through his body when he read someone with the same first name that was also a firefighter who died in action. Quickly he turned the page, suddenly the phone rang, he put the paper on the table and walked over to the home phone. He read the caller id then answered the phone. "Hello." He said as he pressed the phone to his ear.
"Morning handsome!" His girlfriend said flirtatiously.
"Morning honey!" He replied smiling and sitting back down at the table.
"Are you busy tonight?" She asked.
"You tell me!" He said as he took another sip of coffee.
"Well I was hoping we can go to Ruby Tuesdays!" She answered.
A smile grew across his face. "I would love to go with you! Pick you up around, say 7?"
"That sounds perfect!" She said then they said their goodbyes and hung up.
After his phone call with his girlfriend he headed to work, so he grabbed his keys to his pickup and walked out of the house. While he was driving to work he hit a small traffic jam, he sat there in it with nothing to do but turn up the radio. One of his favorite songs came on, 'Time is love' by Josh Turner. That was the same song that him and his girlfriend had their first dance too. When the song was over the traffic began to slowly move again. About twenty minutes later he reached his work, he was a truck driver for Sage's trucking of PA. Did he like his job? Kinda, he thought it was boring and too long, but it's what he wanted to do since he was a kid.
