Australia
It was one of those days. The days where you woke up with proverbial gum in your hair. One where nothing seems to go right. It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. For Richard Castle, these types of days were the worst.
The day started off seemingly fine, he got up, showered, shaved, brushed his teeth, and dressed, all without problem. Walking down the stairs he tripped over a random tennis shoe belonging to his daughter; that was only the beginning.
He over scrambled the eggs, under cooked the pancakes, and to make matters worse, the toaster broke. Sighing, he reached for bowls to pour some cereal, the bowls clattered to the floor, the cereal was stale, and the milk had gone bad.
His daughter ran down the stairs and out the door, yelling behind her that she was already late for school. At least I'm not the only one having a bad day.
Forgetting breakfast, he made his way to his office. What a mistake that was. Flicking on his "murder board" he found the color to be distorted, his laptop battery needed charging, and one of the wheels had somehow fallen of his desk chair.
Groaning, he picked up his cell phone. When he called Beckett, she yelled at him to stop being annoying, when he called Esposito, he said to listen to Beckett, and when he called Ryan, he didn't even answer the phone.
"Arrrrgh!" He screamed out.
Today was just one of those days, and Richard Castle never handled those days well.
Making his way back up the stairs he tripped on the same tennis shoe. He cursed at it and threw it in the direction of his daughter's room. Opening his bedroom door, he stripped out of his clothes, tossing them haphazardly to the floor. He crawled into his bed and threw the covers over his head. It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Maybe he should move to Australia.
End.
