I hadn’t noticed just how long I stood there, but as I stirred from my thoughts, I realised that some time had passed. The amber glow of the falling sun shone through the dull high windows, casting shadows upon the dusty academic tomes. My choice to return to the sanctum of the library was perhaps too soon, but I need the distraction, if only momentarily. I had returned to work, despite the concerns, to this the twilight shift and it suited my mood.
