It was the day of my 8th birthday, February 19th, 1992. I woke up at an unpleasant time of 6:39 AM. A man's figure was dashing out the door; I presume it was my dad rushing out the door to go to work. Last night he said to me, “Euripides, do you know why I go out into the cruel world and protect complete strangers?” I shook my head... “I do it all to make sure that you and your mother can have a great future.” My father practically lived at his job.

“ I don’t believe I caught your name,” I say.
“The name’s Ubel Raymond. I'm terribly sorry about the death of your father." He looks off into the distance, eyes widening slowly as if he were coming to a sudden realization.
