It was just a normal night like the night before I would come home from professor Markus’s office check my mail box and trod off into my loft apartment that was on the top floor of the flat. It was going to storm that night I felt it in my knees as I hurried up the steps to the 3rd floor my brown satchel catching on the stair’s as I hurried up them.
