Edward's Office, Early Wednesday Morning
Edward finished the last question on his final exam and leaned back in his desk chair as he proofread it. It was a good exam. Thorough. Too many teachers today expected too little from their students. Here was the chance for his students to show what they could do! Sure, it was a bit on the long side, but it could be completed within the class period if done efficiently.
He picked up the pages, intending to head for the copy room, but when he stepped out of his office, he found himself... back in his office.
Odd. He would have thought it a dream were he capable of sleep. Perhaps he was distracted. He opened his office door again, stepped out into the hallway, and found himself back in his office again.
This was absurd. It was some kind of illusion, perhaps. He closed his eyes and ceased breathing so as not to let his senses be fooled. He stepped through the door again. Still his office. He turned around to retrace his steps but found only the walls of his office. He tried going out the door again, but he was still in his office.
He was going to be here for a while.
[Establishy!]
