As the morning sun spilled through her window, Loreen had been up working. Fully dressed in a blue business suit and a gray turtleneck and gold chain, she tapped away at her desktop.
Something within her spoke and said, “we’re going into the latter part of the morning now. We have failed.” This reverberated in her cranium. It flew and she tackled it and wrestled with it. She then shot out of her seat.
When she imagined the reality of her situation, she found the amount of time she had in finishing her project. Her fingers trembled slightly and her right eye twitched. She sat back down slowly.
With a glance at her portfolio, she began to sense her power despite the fact the sunrays poured into her office. This kept the idea of the work planted directly on her brain. It had been a business securing sanitation rights to one company over another.
By writing up the property rights that the initial business possessed in Wilmington, she showed them better legal representation than they had pursued.
A sigh expelled from her mouth. While there existed no deadline on their end, she felt like she fell short of her own personal goal. The depths of her goal-setting permitted her no victory even though she finished the work in the timeframe that satisfied the other party.
She liked to work in the dark and long hand. When she woke at the time of her alarm, she stared at the ceiling. She kept thinking about not just money but how to make the money. The sanitation company didn’t matter to her in the way that she could say they were her own. It was the problem-solving that motivated her. She took on the issue with her own special ability to aid businesses.

Smartystan
Flowers adorned the entrance to the Episcopalian church in Greenville, Delaware just outside of Smartystanian gates. Orchids and lilies danced in the spring air. The sound of a choir echoed throughout the hallways. Bellinda Gummer walked through the entrance. She wore a midnight blue business suit with red piping and silver buttons. A white hat sat atop her head. The ensemble matched with the red, white, and blue theme of the church. She met up with her father, Reverend Colin. He wore a black robe with gold trim. His dark brown hair looked full and tiny flecks of gray showed at the temples. His office looked immaculate. Photographs with dignitaries dotted the space. A comfy seat sat opposite his desk. A smile cracked on his face. Rows of white teeth showed.

Search for a Sister, Chapter Two
4-H-N heard not a word about her secret mission around Headquarters over the following days, so had to conclude either Mini-Flash Phytolith hadn’t been listening in after all, or she’d misjudged him. She hoped it was the latter, as she wanted the pair of them to get on, even if he wasn’t going out of his way to make it easy for her.

Sparrow on a Plank Chapter 13: Into The Bowels of Hades
Sal and Hajime quickly re-established their routines, with a few noticeable differences. Hajime was able to maintain his morning meditation and the evening stint in the crow's nest, but his instruction in the ways of the sea was stepped up a bit. This meant that he had to deal with a certain of hazing, but he was learning a new profession. By the time he hit Bubastos, he knew as much as a journeyman sailor, and was able to sail a small boat by himself, or be part of a crew without embarrassing himself.
