Swirling, whirling green. The spinning wasn't fast enough to make you dizzy, more like a hypnotic calm. The same type of calm you can get from gazing at a candle flame or watching the dryers in a laundry mat.

If it wasn't so bright, he probably could have used it as a sleep aid. That and stupidly dangerous to leave the doors open like that. He might as well stick his head in and invite Skulker to just skin him right there.

Danny tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes as he recapped the now empty thermos and then closed the portal.

If only he could call in sick. He might get a full 8 hours of sleep. Or any at all. But he might as well wish for all A's and a date with Paulina. He chuckled at the thought.

Or maybe a better wish would be for Valerie to stop hating his ghost half. That would be really nice, his hand going to his side testing to see how much pain he was in from that last shot she had fired earlier. He hissed jerking his hand away from the light touch, still too much to turn back yet.

His mind drifted back to thoughts of a world where Valerie didn't hate him. Maybe they could hook up again? Even if the first time was just Technus's manipulative scheme, it was nice.

Actually it was really nice. Maybe he should try again? It had been quite awhile, so he could say she didn't have to worry so much about him getting hurt in a ghost fight. Sure he wouldn't say how he really could, but he could possibly convince her of his ability to hold his own.

His friends would think he was being stupid. Scold him on how he had been down that road before, but why couldn't he want something for himself?

Some sort of access into a simpler life, or at least a more normal one. And maybe he would, it wasn't like he had anything to lose anyway.
