The voices penetrated through the thick oaken door and it was clear that Jarl was losing. Not my problem, Sigrid thought and headed out of the building. The large bell tower had just struck noon and the campus was filled with stud...
While I was working on a darker story for a different category at Lit, I hit a wall. Being stumped, yet still wanting to write, I switched gears and decided to write this.

Forty-three Sora said in a roar, holding his wife's cellphone, which displayed messages between Sora's wife and a police officer Sora was friends with in high school. "You want to suck him off today?! It's already bad enough I just found out he paid to have sex with you. How many other guys are you prostituting yourself to?...

Even in this state between wake and sleep, I know there are things that must be done today and force myself to sit up with a groan.
