Title: Just Another Morning in the Office
Word Count: 98
Note: Original non-fic written for prompt 433 at prompt_a_day.

Complete silence pervades my office -- there's no sound except the my computer humming and my fingers tip-tapping across the keyboard. And, for once, it's actually soothing.

Title: The Deadline Approached
Word Count: 95

And so, the papers stacked as her mind ran farther and farther away from the tasks at hand.
