THE GAME OF TIME

A normal morning in Mark's life. 'New day brings new opportunities' was something Mark never believed. He woke up and switched off his alarm. Standing  on the floor searching for his slippers , he woke up Dora  instead . Now Dora is the name of Mark's pet dog. She is a 12-week-old cute little puppy pug. Mark loves her so much that he  could not even imagine his life without Dora. Soon he realized that he is getting late for the office. He hurried to the bathroom and got himself dressed up. He went to kitchen to get his breakfast prepared as soon as possible . He opened the refrigerator just to find out that there is no milk left . Disappointment and frustration filled in Mark. He had to leave without having breakfast. He just prepared black coffee so that he could get some energy to sustain himself the whole day.  Mark dropped Dora at his friend Luca's house and hurries to his office . Mark could not leave Dora alone at home so he drops her to Luca's everyday and picks her up while coming back home. Mark is a Software Engineer by profession but he never liked his job. He works so hard even after his working hours yet the company does not pay him the salary he has puts efforts for. Mark loves adventures and exploring the world. But being entangled in codes and programs is the only adventure Mark experiences which he considers to be a great headache. Mark spends the week working in the office and weekends for overcoming the backache he got from the whole week.  Mark had some gamer friends who kept suggesting him new video games to play but he remains so busy that he does not have time to even check them. He was being busy in his work while his friends enjoyed their life . Mark was often invited by his friends for tours and parties but Mark never attended them . After getting done with all his work , Mark left for home. He picked up Dora from Luca's  and drove home. Looking at Dora's innocent face would make Mark forget all his stress. He loved playing with Dora and so does Dora. He would never get tired of spending time with her. He loved taking care of Dora more than partying with his friends. But Mark always dreamt of going on a long vacation with Dora for which he had been saving since many months.
