This Has To Stop! — Description
'This has got to stop!' Jennivien wailed as her employer came down the stairs, another armload of boxes stacked before him. 'Do you hear me? This ends here!'

Grunting something that sounded less than dignified the shark dropped the boxes by her make shift desk. The past weeks had taken their toll on him, as deep shadows had crept under both eyes. His once blue hide had paled to something of a gray luster.

Just looking at him made Jennivien feel tired as she rubbed her own eyes to try and ease the strain that had been building there.

It helped, a little.

Blowing out an exasperated breath, Jennivien collected herself enough to attempt a rational argument with the lumbering giant before her.

'I haven't slept more than four hours each night for the last six weeks running! Krecker is going crazy, and I'm at my ropes end!'

The shark, or the shadow of her employer, fixed her with a solemn gaze.

'I know. Things aren't quite going as planned.' And rubbing his own eyes he began to lurch back up the stairs. 'Tell you what, why don't you and Krecker take a few days, I'll handle the work load in your absence.'

'But you're already doing the work of two people!'

'So a few more hours won't make much of a difference.'

Huffing, Jennivien knew she was not going to win this one.

'Fine! But keep your coffee intake down to two cups a day!'

'What? Two pots of coffee a day? Can do.'

'Jerk.' Jennivien groused, and slumping back into her chair looked at the callander with a small red circle scratched into it. 'This is impossible.'
