A glimpse at his watch told him that his workday soon would be over.  Luckily. Not that he disliked his job, no, but today was Friday and he looked forward to spending the weekend with his family. A smile appeared on his face as he thought of his beautiful wife and their two young children. Maybe they could go to the cinema together this evening or....no, he could plan that later on.

~A/N if you read the whole thing until here- congratulations. I know the story is boring und weird until the last sentence, but I wanted to try something like that. The result of me having politics class and then thinking too much. {This story is fictional, obviously, and probably tapering, but the articles aren't. Sorry, I wish I could say otherwise.}
What's your opinion about this, anyway? I am quite curios to be honest.
Please stay human,
