Eric thought that one day he might work at the prestigious National Institutes of Health in Washington DC, the brain center of medical research.
On occasion he even found himself daydreaming about receiving a Nobel Prize.
Greatness required sacrifice and he was fully prepared to put in his time.
Eric had learned to live on six hours of sleep so he rolled out of bed at just after 6 AM.
It was still pitch dark outside, but there were birds chirping.
After a breakfast that consisted mostly of tea and English muffins,
Eric was ready for another day of research.
The morning sky was dominated by the dark grey clouds that seemed ever-present in July, but it wasn’t raining, yet.
