LJ: A Worthwhile Talent, I Think

Some snoozed through the professor's dry, unending lecture. Some doodled; a couple in the back diddled.

One student focused. As the prof droned on, he meditated, calming his mind for the task ahead. When he was at peace, one with the world... he twisted, gently.

The professor's lecture ended abruptly. So did the world.

In the nothingness, the student smiled. It was not the first time he'd managed this feat, and it would not be the last. It was entertaining in its own way.

He made an expansive gesture, and the world returned. The lecture would be over soon enough.
