The Way It Stared
I T WAS A RISK, TO BE SURE, but one I was more familiar with. In this day and age, we are more accustomed to a certain je ne sais quoi that comes with meeting someone before you actually meet someone. There is a sort of stipulation that surrounds online dating; something that is often amplified, but quickly forgotten once we become actively social. But, I digress. I was a 24 year old man and I felt independent enough to handle myself adequately. As I was preparing myself for a night that I wasn’t entirely sure of, I couldn’t help but catch myself in a course of daydream. I am not typically a man to fantasize in a romantic way. You know the kind of daydream where you think of what the future will hold with one individual person, but this time felt different. I could actually feel my heart get lighter; a sort of floating sensation. So, as it were, I shook off my nerves and made my way to my car.

The Price
Of course, Jerry Rolestein knew it was wrong, but he also knew that it wouldn’t be much longer until his family would be out on the streets.

But truth be told, how often does an opportunity come around like this? And it was no mere coincidence that this book would find its way into his locker, he knew that much. No, someone placed it there. The only question now, was the person acting as an angel or a devil?
