2 Hours of Sleep is Not Enough

It had only been two hours since James got home. The minute he was close enough, he collapsed on his bed, becoming nothing short of dead. Two hours later a voice, coming from his bedside, was chanting 'yay, daddy's home!'

James didn't have the heart to tell the enthusiastic voice to leave him alone so he forced himself awake, hoping someday the voice would come to understand sleep was meant to continue past 6:00am.

As he walked down the hallway, a weight sat on his shoulders- how it had gotten up there was beyond his fatigued mind- rambling a mix of questions and 'yay, daddy, daddy's home!'

None of that or anything processed... just the fact that there was something on his shoulders and...
Two hours of sleep was not enough...
