His alarm went off
The beep startled him as it always did shaking him from whatever nightmare he was inhabiting that night and bringing him back to the cold reality that was his life. His eye lashes fluttered open, his jade eyes widening as he blinked away the last vestige of sleep.
And of them
He was traveling today and since he wasn’t on business his next goal was to reach for the silver flask he kept on his person at all time. He took a nice measured gulp and sighed as the warm liquid filled him and rushed away his grief. He used the drink to push the memories of his wife and daughter away and sighed in pleasure when it worked.
“Time to get on the road” Richard M Thorton said to himself launching him self off of the bed and going over to his suitcase. He had a long day of driving back home so he choose a pair of comfortable shorts that showed off his tan muscular legs and a light button down shirt. He ignored his cell phone and instead busied himself getting ready and prepared for his trip. He was in Orlando on business but he actually lived three states down. Most people his age would have preferred to fly for their jobs But Dick was the rare kind who wanted to explore the country a little bit. He was a traveling salesman he would always say whenever asked so why shouldn’t he travel? Especially if it meant getting to bring his family along for the ride?
His family
He starred at himself in the mirror if it wasn’t for his need to work and to keep up appearances, the handsome gentleman who starred back at him would have been replaced by a haggard mess. The appearance wasn’t full proof though he could see the blood shot eyes the faint purple lines underneath him and the hint of a haggard appearance behind a older handsome face. He scratched idly at his stubble debating about shaving it. His wife would have complained of it itching her face but she was gone along with their one and only daughters both a victim of drunk driving.
He turned grabbing his flask and taking another large gulp as he stomped back into the room. He grabbed the last of his things and threw them into his suitcase. He checked his beat up old watch and hurried already late due to his inner turmoil. He left the room and went to the lobby taking the time to compose his best and most polite smile. He stepped out of the elevator and went right to the receptionist intent on checking out and getting back home as soon as possible. He wasnt in the mood to get home so to speak but to get on the road and get some miles in. One of the few joys he still found in the world was his travels getting to see the state he was such a big fan of.
