"AWHHHHHH!" What a day I have in front of me. I roll over in my California king, to glare at the alarm clock sitting by my bed. Just a few minutes ago, it was buzzing like a smoke alarm, waking me up from one hell of a night of sleeping. The bright morning sun is trying to crack through my white Japanese blinds, and light up a black painted, white trim bedroom. I'm not really ready for this, but before too long, Trenton will be full blaze, running around like a freed pittbull that had been chained up for a week.

I reach on my cherry oak nightstand, and grab my white Logitech remote, and turn on my thirty two inch LCD Television that is mounted on the wall in front of me. At eight o'clock, not much is on, on a Friday morning, except news. The final hour of Good Morning America is on ABC, as the red, white, and blue theme clicks into my brain.

"Fuck, it's the fourth of July! I'll have to get some fireworks for Trenton!" Only thought in my head, is the idea of my son enjoying his first Independence Day with his father, and make it a memory he will treasure. It's not everyday that you obtain a gift like a child, and I plan on making up for my missed time with my son. Thoughts in my head, are running mad, as I know Dory is going nuts not being around him, but I am sure she'll survive. I could be a bastard, and tell her to get the fuck over it, but I cannot hold hatred for the mother of my son. No matter what happens.

"Today, is the day in which America celebrates it's independence! And to showcase a year thus far, we have pieced together a piece of modern events to showcase the pride of our nation!" The news caster says with such excite, but being paid as much as her, I could see why she does not mind issues like, rising cost of living, gas, food, and power. Dumb cunt, I hate liberal news, but it's America. May have the right for freedom of speech, press, and religion. But in reality, you barely have the right to wipe your own ass without getting a bill passed in congress.

The piece opens up with some sVo footage, which I am truly amazed by. Maybe we are bigger than I thought! It shows Stevo defeating Polowy for the sVo Championship. They show clips of the parade, and then, Alex Ross with the sVo title over his head at Countdown to Violence. We are shown other acts, such as Obama and Clinton shaking hands at a recent party broadcast, and the rise of gas from near three dollars, to well over four. "Damn, what a crisis this nation has fallen under. You know it's bad when people are too stressed over their money, to really give a damn about how bad the president is doing in office!"

I press the bright red button on my remote, as the television shuts off, and I toss it back onto my nightstand, where it original was, and swing my legs to hand off the side of the bed. I yawn once more, while stretching my body! I assist in my neck turning, to create a loud pop, "Ah, that felt really good!" I stand to my feet, as my grace the white carpet in my room, leading straight into my bathroom. I fondle the wall on the right, flipping the light switch to an on position. The bright white bathroom is almost blinding, but my half open eyes are not effected so much. I walk to my sink, and turn on the hot water full blast. As the steam starts to rise, I dip my hands into the water, and splash it on my face, as I do this two times to wake me up. Turning the water off, I grab a black hand towel off the counter and pat dry my face. Looking at myself in the mirror, a fear of failure rushes my thoughts.

"Am I really good enough? For the past few months, I have underhanded my way from being nothing in this wasteland, to being a popular and common name. Could I have done that on my own? Moretti has under minded my orders of giving me space, allowing me to prove to the world, I am more than some man with numbers in his favor! I cannot teach those way to Trenton, but am I anything more but that? Without their help, can I be a winner like my son thinks I am? Sure, I captured gold on my own already, but was my opponent really ready for me, or was I just lucky? That is a question I have been pondering forever, and I still have no real self assuring invested into an answer of positive matters. I know everyone in sVo thinks I am some dime a dozen superstar. They maybe right! My prime was years ago, and what if I can never reach that brass ring of success again? Do I keep trying, just to disappoint myself, and worse yet, my son? I could just hang up the boots, and spend every minute with Trenton, he'd love that, but he would have nothing to brag to his friends about. He is already talking about having me in his class for career day when school starts back up. Am I some role model to kids? God, I hope no one grows up to be like me! I admit, I am better than some gang banger on the street, but I am no Gunner Lang, or Psyko Stevo in his golden rule following days. I am merely Travis Williams. I have been known as The Dark Shadows for many of years. I hunted and preyed on my victims when I was at my strong, and they were weak!

I know I need to showcase to my son, I am someone he can take pride in. I want him to love me like he does now, when he finds out first hand what I am truly about. We have a long a trip to Las Vegas tonight, and I am scared that the surprise element of my opponent, won't mount to anything good on my behalf. I know one thing, at Showdown champ,"
I look at myself with a tear in my eye almost, "I will do whatever it is, ALONE!"

I hear the sounds of footsteps behind me, as I hear it, "DADDY!" Trenton wraps his arms around the back of my legs, as the youngster is finally awake. "I cannot wait for Las Vegas Daddy, when are we leaving?" I smile at him, as I rub his head and we head out my bathroom, flipping off the lights while I exit. This is going to be an eventful day, wish me luck!
