Omega (Book 1)
Carrere's ‘Sightseeing in Space’ books, slipped off Harold Girard's sweaty hands as he jogged down an unfamiliar hallway whilst releasing hot breath like a steam train.
The heavy, hundred-paged textbooks slapped against the cold, white tiles, sending out a quick-but-loud noise that spasmed through the lonely hallway and as Harold bent to pick them up, curses slipped out through his lips, fusing with his warm, inconsistent breath.
He stood up straight with the books secured under his sweaty armpits and spread a crumpled, extra large map that looked like it had been picked out of a waste bin, as he bent his head over, with eyes searching for where his Geography class was being held.
