I laugh. "I found the bat next to my bed this morning. Perhaps the crazy fairy left it and took one of my teeth."
I sigh. "As for me...I don't really have plans. I'm in graduate school, so I guess I'll finish that. I...don't really know. Hell, I'm only in graduate school at all because I didn't know where to go after college. I'll probably try for a professorship, I guess? Maybe not." I laugh, hollowly. "I'm kind of worthless, really. At least, that's what everyone tells me when they leave."
Pausing a bit, I realize I've been exposing a bit more than I should. "Ah, well. At least it's a beautiful night. Peaceful, quiet. I wish things could stay this peaceful forever...or, at least, for a while."
