Nightfall sighed, his eyes still closed. It was another bright, shining day.

"Gotta start, or there'll be nothing to eat..."

He got up slowly and took a warm shower. After his shower (which didn't help in waking him up), he made some coffee and went down into his "shop." It was more garage-like than anything, with inventions here and there, along with mechanical parts and tools. He expected the day to be "usual:" not too many customers. The ones who did come in, he didn't expect to chit-chat much.

"Maybe today would be different," he thought as he magically shifted one of his small clocks in the front window and pushed a cart to the worktable.
