My home is a special place to me. It is not only my happy place‚ but it is also a place where I can also feel other emotions.

A late December night Like many other nights; it is late and I am tired‚ leaving the bar after my shift and driving home. It must be close to 4o’clock in the morning now; the roads are covered in snow like a cozy white blanket on a cold black night.
