Samantha The Barista
Choosing a coffee shop leads somewhere.
Sam was in Riverside for the first time in 20 years. He stopped at a new coffee shop and ordered a cup. There was something about the barista.
He waited in front for hours, until she got off work. When she started walking, he was compelled to follow. She played on he phone the whole way, never noticing him.
When she stopped, it was at a house. He awkwardly approached the porch where she sat.
"Why are you following me?"
Sam froze, staring at her. Then he knew, when a woman came outside. She had moms looks, and his eyes.

A Basic Guide to Life in the Void Space
------------------------------------------- 1 ------------------------------------------------ Hello! If you are reading this, then you might be somewhere in the first level of the Void Space. This writing is a guide from the VSSG or the Void Space Survival Group for short. If you are someone new to the Void Space, then you probably have a lot of questions that you need to have answered since you ended up in this strange place from whenever you originally came from. If you are not someone new to this place, then you might want to look back at this guide for a little bit of a refresher if you feel like you need one. After all, there are people who spend a lot of time in this place, but ultimately perish or succumb to something simply because they forgot the basics. Anyway, enough with the introduction, here is some basic information on the Void Space and how you can - hopefully - survive long enough to reach us or any of the less hostile groups that have formed down here.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
