She ran a hand through her hair, her fingers snagging on the knots she hadn't bothered to comb out this morning. Her stomach churned. The caffeine had long worn off, leaving behind a hollow feeling, a profound sense of emptiness. She let out a heavy sigh, and the screen blurred slightly. She leaned back in her chair, the sudden movement causing a wave of dizziness to wash over her.
