Orbits
There she was…unexpectedly. She was eighteen years old and ripe with youthful perfection. I was nineteen and back home living with my parents again after my first year of college. There was little to do in that three stop light town I had grown up in other than drink beer and play video games. I was pretty good at both. I was at a friend’s house that sticky summer night when she showed up with a gaggle of friends and a bottle of rum. The Super Mario Brother’s game I was on the verge of beating suddenly crashed. “Fuck!” I screamed as though my life actually depended on rescuing Mario’s princess. I couldn’t remember my password, so I decided to abandon the game.
