Read-a-thon: Mini-Challenge by Life in the Thumb

This mini-challenge is brought to us by Life in the Thumb.

You know you are participating in a read-a-thon when you start writing stuff like this, in an attempt to stay awake:

and dancing light.
Try as I might,
I cannot make it without you,
Mountain Dew.
