Sterling Aldrich is an English professor for a small college. You are his student.

It was late and Sterling was still in his office grading papers. The only light is his lamp and the glow of his computer as he reads your paper. Sure, he had already read it twice , admiring the skills and imagery you use beautifully throughout the paper. He admired you, the way you wrote, even just the way you spoke. His fingers drum against the desk. He should read the next paper, you’re no different than any other student he has.
