Study Of Night Novels & Stories

Ibukun said as Lashe glanced at her through the corner of his eyes. “I tried to pry into your private matters just because I thought we were close to an extent and I really wanted to know more about me. I know that’s what you hate the most, people trying to pry into your private matters. I guess I got ahead of myself” Ibukun added as she dropped her head. “What do you think of the stars tonight?” Lashe asked as Ibukun looked towards the sky and smiled. “Stars in the night sky have always been beautiful” Ibukun replied and Lashe nodded.

She intended to offer something better. The compound at night was a different kind of place from the compound during the day. The performance of neutrality relaxed slightly—not enough to be dangerous, but enough that you could see more clearly who people actually were when they thought fewer eyes were on them. She walked the perimeter path before bed and watched the patterns and filed what she found.

After all, she didn't have much opportunities to try it out. . In the middle of the night, the study was dark. A few little stars shone through the window albeit not strong enough to light up the surroundings. All their light seemed to be collected by the white hair of a man, who now slowly blinked his eyes. He could see nothing beside the outline of the table edge and the arm he'd laid upon.

“May I suggest coming back during normal hours?” “Why?” “Because it’s the middle of the night.” “I’m sorry to inconvenience you,” I said a little tartly. “Can I help you find something?” Ben asked. “If it’s time sensitive, I mean. It is the middle of the night–” “That doesn’t stop you from being here,” I sniffed. “Wait. Why are you here?” He shrugged. “Research.” “Research?” “I’m trying to finish my dissertation.” “So you work during the middle of the night?”

Kane's POV My father's study felt different at night. During daylight hours it was a working space, maps on the walls, files on the desk, the functional atmosphere of a room that processed pack business with efficient regularity. At night, with the desk lamp casting its contained circle of light and the rest of the room sitting in shadow, it became something older. More serious. The kind of space that held conversations the daylight version of the same room couldn't quite contain. Kade was already there when I arrived.

“Well, I don’t know about that. Sir, can I stop this now and share a sight from the darkness?” Ralta turned back to him, smiling. “Do tell, sir.” He said the sir as a slight mock, but he’d known the scribe for over a decade. The old one didn’t delight in bad tales. “When the creatures retreated, I know I saw a few of them carrying bodies with them.” “Why on earth would they do that?” Gaius sat back and rubbed his eyes. “It is in the height of night, not morning, but these creatures are smart and think a bit ahead. Maybe they were hungry.”

The Night-Blooming Garden was the most beautiful and popular place in the Cloud City. More than a garden, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a forest, but as it was located in the heart of the city and a long road crossed it, many would go there, especially at night, when the most beautiful flowers would open with the beginning of each season.

It tugged on my mind to go back and wait for my fellow hypers (nerds) whom I could walk with, but my brain and body were exhausted from too much reading and little sleep that I ignored the thought. Night class was a part of me. It was a thing we did around here. You know, studying at night away from our hostels and comfy beds. I’ve been doing it since my 100level, and now in my 300level in the university studying medical laboratory science, I couldn't stay a day without going. It's like my body had programmed itself because all the time I tried reading in the hostel, I ended up sleeping. I might as well blame the cozy bed that kept attracting me to lie on it.

I reply. “Yeah, you need to get it together chica.” Lani says looking at Ashe like she’s nuts. “Seriously doubt she even cares dude.” Lizzie comments. A few minutes later and Ashe has FINALLY calmed down from her episode of offending the Moon Goddess and we are back on our way to the island. Kita has mentioned that Calypso and her pod sisters are following along side us, probably making sure we stay the course. The fog has since lifted, which I think was the siren’s doing to be honest with you. Nighttime comes and with it a multitude of stars blanket the sky, something that you don’t get to see in the city.

It is quite dangerous for young girls like them to commute late at night. Her eyes made a quick scan of the cafe. The small cafe only had four tables that accommodated four people each. Most of her dine-in clients were students from the nearby university. They are mostly groups of friends who wanted to hang out, or young couples who were dating. It did not take her long to see that there were two tables that were still occupied. A group of university girls occupied the first table. The girls would from time to time giggle as they stone sneaky glance to the man sitting alone on the other table.
