The Dark Before Dawn

While he waited, he pulled up the site on a whim, found the bio, and read through it one last time as he sipped the hot coffee:

Michael Knight

Electrician’s Assistant

$32k annually

26 years old

5’9” 170 lbs

Likes fishing, hunting, music, and Saturday night bonfires

He actually laughed when he reached the bottom. Four years later and still not a single swipe!

”Are you sure you want to delete this profile?” It asked him.

“Absolutely, you son-of-a-bitch!“ Mike hit the button and slipped the damned phone back into his pocket.

“Hurry up, Dawn!” He hollered through the house. “I wanna be on the water before light!”

”Hold your horses, Handsome! I just gotta pee first!”

He laughed again, and relaxed. No real matter if they made it... the fish had never bit before Dawn anyhow, had they?

Thank God for those Saturday Night bonfires.
