I drank way too much coffee this morning. I suppose this is a good thing, as I made it through my exam without falling asleep, but it completely disrupted my plans to celebrate by collapsing in bed until about tomorrow.

William lifts his pen and reads the words.

“Aye,” he whispers. “Did I write this?”

But the handwriting is his own, and his mind is light with accomplishment.

Last night there was wine, and a conversation evaporating now from his mind like dreams under sunlight. A pale man, eyes ever in shadow, who spoke of poetry and doors. And a price.

But there is a price for all things, and success least of all. Be it to muse or devil, William can afford two plays - a dream and an awakening. He has stories enough now to drown the world.
