•the cold glow of the laptop screen illuminating an otherwise dark room

•stacks of printed class handouts pulled on the desk

•textbooks with notes and observations scribbled hastily in the margin in black biro, important passages circled or underlined with feverish vigor

•a half drunk cup of takeout coffee, it's contents abandoned in favor of a sudden break out

•a jacket draped over the back of a plastic library chair for hours

•the harsh fluorescent lights of a university corridor late at night, a single set of footsteps cutting through the silence
