Another Late Night
By Leesa Perrie
Rodney was tired, but the reprogramming wouldn’t do itself so
he
really had to stay awake and get it done. Lives depended on
him,
which was nothing unusual since coming to the Pegasus galaxy. Nothing
unusual at all. In fact, it was a far, far too common
occurrence
for his liking.
Still, that wouldn’t get the reprogramming done.
Sighing, he rubbed tired eyes and slurped a mouthful of cold coffee,
grimacing. He needed to make fresh coffee if there was any
hope
of him staying awake.
Standing, the world did a slow loop before righting itself.
Damn,
he hadn’t been this tired
since…since…the siege,
maybe?
Looking over to the coffee machine a few metres away, the distance
seemed much farther than that. Much, much farther.
Perhaps
he didn’t need the coffee?
Ah, who was he kidding, he was about to fall asleep on his feet - if
that was even possible.
After the monumental trek not only to
the coffee machine but also back
from it as well, he sat down and returned his attention to the
reprogramming.
He didn’t know, yet,
who
had messed with the city-wide comm so that it played ‘The
Hamster
Dance’ over and over again, but whoever it was would be
punished
– and most severely if he had his way!
