Eric

He had such a dream! It was already morning. The sun's rays penetrated the loosely drawn curtains and woke the eternally dissatisfied Eric. He cursed quietly, stretched, and sat up in bed. It was early.
He didn't get enough sleep. He somehow changed out of his pajamas into normal clothes and went to the kitchen to drink coffee.
He hears footsteps down the hallway towards the kitchen. Who else woke up so early?
"Good morning.."
in advance, without waiting for the one who was coming to enter, he said.
