Passing Through
“What an evening! I’m inspired to capture it all before I forget any of it”, The Professor was exclaiming in the direction of Loft, his long time, long enduring assistant, who continued reshelving books at the other end of the studio. “On a crystal clear night, It was an extraordinary meteor shower, with giant blasts of light and flame, like the 4th of July. I can’t believe how long it lasted. I stood at the window for hours. The sky was still sparkling when I finally walked back to my bed to sleep.”
“I’m sorry, Professor, I missed it,” said Loft, suppressing a yawn. “It was actually cloudy with periods or rain all last night. I know because, even through the brick walls, I listened to your snoring for the entire period. Perhaps the extra helping of roasted jalapenos last evening affected your slumbers.”
