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.
