It was a little past 2AM but I couldn’t sleep yet so I decided to take a walk outside. I passed the fallen trees of the storm-ravaged streets when a teacher saw me and asked what I was doing here. I told him that I was taking a walk before going to to bed. He replied that he “sometimes wake[s] up in the middle of the night too”. I assumed that he misunderstood what I meant. I said goodbye as I turned the corner until he said he was going the same direction. He had a teacher meeting to attend. “We don’t have it that easy, you know” he said.
