Deadlines suck. Twenty days until my final manuscript is due. Who chooses
a deadline that lines up with midterms? My flipping editor, that’s who. I
yell at my students for procrastinating and here I am in my office at 2 am,
trying to figure out these blasted recipes.
“This may have been one of my more idiotic ideas.” I grumbled as I
shifted through the papers. The last two recipes were proving difficult to
read, and it was going to make or break this textbook.
I heard a tinkling laugh as Tess flitted by my head and landed on my
desk. She only stood about 6 inches tall, but every centimeter of her
mocked me.
“So help me, I’ll paper cut you if you keep it up. I haven’t had near
enough caffeine to put up with you. Or to keep me up until 2 am.”
“We could go home and start afresh tomorrow. New coffee, new
morning.” Tess flicked her dark purple wings closed behind her and leaned
against a book on my desk.
The words were starting to look like gibberish on the copies in front of
me. My eyes felt pressure building behind them. I’d never make it to the
witching hour, and I still had to teach tomorrow. Today. Crap. With a sigh,
feeling every aching moment I’d sat in my desk chair, I got up and grabbed
my jacket.
“Come on, let’s go home. The research can wait a little longer.”
I slung my backpack on my shoulder as Tess flew past me and locked the
door behind me, not bothering to take anything else home. Time would fly
all too quickly, and I’d be back at work anyways.
The hallways were bustling with those who were more nocturnal, and I
waved at a few students heading to the computer lab or night classes. The
college taught classes around the clock to accommodate students and
professors from all walks of life. I mostly taught witches and humans,
which meant day time classes. My office hours varied, and I had a history
of staying too late which is why I recognized many of the students roaming
the halls; the buildings never closed because there was everyone from
vampires to humans taking classes here.
The trek out of the building and down the hill wasn’t too bad, but it was
chilly in the late night air, and I wished I’d brought a better jacket.
“You okay? Not too cold?”
Tess’ wings flickered close by, and I could see her shake her head.
“Heading that way, though. Soon I’ll be cooped up again.”
It was nearly October, and fall was arriving with full force. I hoped I’d
actually get fall weather instead of going straight into winter. Pixies didn’t
do well in the cold. Historically, they hibernated. Now, they didn’t always
have to.
I passed my old dorm then and thought about how much fun I had had
then. Parties when Piper could drag me to them, staying up late and
watching movies or cramming for a test or writing a paper.
