Natalie gasped as the first spurt of wee dribbled past her nether lips and soaked into the waiting towel. Was she actually doing this, pissing her chair as she frantically tried to finish her essay on time? How she'd let herself leave it so close to the deadline again...
Concentrate, girl
, the teen told herself as she desperately tried to blag her way through another impossible case law assignment, sure the marking professor would pick up on how often she'd reworded the same basic point.
Only five hundred more words, might even finish before I completely lose it

Another spurt. Another sentence that started promisingly, but didn't seem to go anywhere.
Shit, just over three hours 'til the deadline, and I still need to reference this mess

Natalie forced her cramping fingers to keep moving, working the keys as the pale late-autumn sun rose outside. 6am came and went, and a night fuelled by an insane amount of coffee (she'd even taken the kettle into her room) was giving leave to a tense finale as the student finally began to chase down publication details. The obscure essays she'd rashly stripped quotes from, hoping to cobble together a half-hearted supporting argument for what she knew was a fairly nonsensical angle, were a complete headache - and, of course, Natalie's bladder was now pounding from twelve hours and several pints of coffee without a toilet break since she'd sat down at the desk.
So close, got to get this donedonedone
