Dr. Lilly Mayweather’s first day at Princeton University, with a tad more fan fair than she would have liked, started smoothly. Mayweather was warmly greeted by the faculty.

The students, many of which had not previously heard of their new professor, were wondering why Princeton’s President Alfred Jackson was making such a fuss. A quick Google search revealed exactly why Mayweather was the flavour of the month.

Mayweather’s course, An Introduction to Archaeology, drew significantly more students than anticipated. News of the new professor having arrived in the United States had spread far and wide. Was this a domino effect?

A drabble consists of exactly 100 words. The read time is short. Please remain with the article for at least 30 seconds. I would appreciate it if you would leave a comment, highlight anything of interest, and clap.
