The deadline loomed over Amelia, a dark cloud promising failure. She had the drawings, depicting a mischievous imp with a mischievous grin. She recognised them all. Pip. Her childhood companion, long since forgotten. The suffocating weight of expectations crushed her. The days were just a blur.

She tapped her pen against the table, a rhythmic beat against the silence of the office. She was trapped in this cycle, and could see no end.

She closed her eyes, and remembered what it was like to believe in magic. The memory felt so distant.
