Chapter 1 : Sleep
Sleep...
The word kept echoing through her head.
The urge to just close her eyes and sink into the blissful nothingness was almost overwhelming.
The seemingly endless equations continued to scroll across the screen, oblivious to her struggle.
Her head began to dip downwards. Soon it was almost touching the keyboard, unconsciousness was only moments away.
"No!"
Snatching herself out of sleep's domain she quickly straightened up and began puzzling over the meaningless figures rolling continuously before her once again. All thoughts of rest temporarily banished from her mind.
She would solve this problem, no matter what it took.
