Dwayne Meets Kim
I'll set the scene for you. It's the 80's on Hillman College campus. We're in the Pit...of hell. Just kidding, it's actually just the campus cafeteria. It is the start of a fresh new year. The hub is buzzing with bored Seniors; counting down the days til graduation. Already stressed out Juniors; who still have yet to pick a major and a career path. Lazy yet motivated sophomores who foolishly think there is plenty of time for the rest of life. Then there are the overly zealous and terrified Freshman. Fear leaves a special twinkle in their eyes.

Talking Hives
The top of a head slowly creeps up from underneath a kitchen table. We are looking at mischievous brown eyes. They creep up some more, and now we’re looking at a young round face. This is Lionel. He stares across the table at a single slice of chocolate cake that is sitting at the center of the table with a glass covering. The moisture from the freshly melted chocolate is glistening in the sun beam, shining in from a nearby window. It is glorious. Lionel licks his lips. His eyes quickly find a small index card positioned next to the plate. In neat block hand writing the card reads in permanent marker.
