At this point of the game, an alarm didn't feel necessary. Cless felt the excitement of a new work environment in his every thought, and naturally, in his sleep.
Cless slept like a bag of rocks most
nights, the chilled night air flowing in through a north facing window.
Gentle humming from the adjacent airport lulled the night. There was a
purple haze he could see from where he lay.
Cless' dad had
always been a stickler for sleeping in. He warned his son of a future
where slumber would be far from grasp. Cless felt no qualms about the
subject. He never felt the need to beat the sunrise to the door. Without
a roommate, a mentor, any sign of what he would consider senior
supervision, there would be as much sleep as he could wanted.
