Once Upon A Time...

I'm going to tell you a story.  You've probably heard or known of something similar before.  This is a narrative we can share.

Once upon a time there was a wonderful creature named Sleep.  Sleep used to be friends with everyone in the town of College.  It would visit with each person at night and make sure that the next day would be bright.

There was also an evil villain called Finals.  Now Finals lurked in the shadows during most of the seasons in the town of College.  Everyone in the town knew of Finals existence but had forgotten the true horror it could inflict.

Until one day Finals stole Sleep.  Finals did not want the people in the town to be happy and it knew that by stealing Sleep away it would cause the misery Finals' black heart desired.

The towns people did not know how to react.  They became grumpy and angry.  They could not focus on the task at hand--to vanquish Finals and save Sleep.

But one hero decided to put in the time, without sleep, to make a good plan of attack.  This hero studied Finals day and night in order to learn patterns that could help the hero find Finals weakness.  The hero had to wait two weeks until she was ready to face Finals.

She brought with her all the knowledge that she'd been collecting and the plans of attack that she had written.  Finals did not stand a chance.  It was unprepared for the attack and crumbled under her might.

Sleep was truly grateful to be rescued and returned to the town of College.  However the people in the town had to disperse.  Finals had done too much damage to the town.  So they were moving to the town of Winter Break.  Sleep came with them and helped them to recover from Finals attack.

And they all slept happily ever after!
