((Hey, y'all!
biggrin ))
Kalipso awoke to unwelcoming, cold air crawling across her skin. She slowly and sleepily observed her surroundings, finding her lap covered in a pile of books. She was up late last night studying, as usual, and had never made it to her bed. Carelessly, she stood up and let the books slide off of her thin legs, causing a cloud of dust rise up around her feet. All of the windows were covered with thick, black, drapes that were shielding the room from the sunlight, making it impossible to see. Kalipso made her way to the outskirts of the room, hitting random items on the floor with her feet in the process. She groped around the room for the drapes with shaking hands until she finally reached some and yanked them apart. Bright light hit her face instantly, and she blinked hard for a few seconds, still trying to wake up.
'Hmm, it doesn't look to bad out today...' she thought to herself. She smoothed out her dress as she made her way to the front door. Quickly, she twisted the knob and stepped out into the crisp, cool air, and took a seat on the front steps of her home. Kalipso scanned the road in front of her for any activity, running her fingers through her long bangs and taking in slow breathes of the atmosphere.
