<nowiki>::Lying crumpled beneath his desk, Lieutenant Junior Grade Jackford Benjamin Kolk roused slowly and exceedingly uncomfortably. His body ached from being contorted unnaturally and his skin cursed him for having bones so close to the surface and too little fatty padding to stop them from crushing it. He was not looking forward to opening his eyes, and he only felt slightly better emotionally. However, he knew he had to wake up and face life eventually... and there was an odd warmth somewhere near him. Still, for several more minutes, he struggled with the same kinds of thoughts he'd had the night before. He didn't want to face life anymore.

<nowiki>::Another moment's hesitation and then he moved. Instantly he regretted it. The aches that he'd thought were bad enough all got ten times worse. But he'd started, so he kept going, turning his torso so he could lift himself off the floor much the same as he would if he were doing a push-up. He groaned audibly and closed his eyes more tightly for a second before opening them finally. In the darkness, he could see something on a tray nearby. Careful not hit his head, he maneuvered himself into a sitting position, still underneath the desk, and tried to figure out what it was.
