One of the reasons I chose a business major in college was because I hated math, so I wasn’t particularly excited to take Business Statistics 101. It was, however, required for my major, and I suppose you can say I found solace in the fact that it was at least better than calculus. It was,…

Six Years
It’s been a while since I tagged a story under the “Muse” category. I don’t know if I’ve ever explained what that category means, but basically, they’re just stories that came to me in dreams. Probably not the most traditional definition of a “muse,” or maybe not really even the definition at all. But whatever….
Intertwined
In some cultures, it’s common to refer to the paths ours lives take as “threads.” It’s such an interesting comparison to make, because threads have so many different qualities that make them unique. Threads can be many different colors and sizes, and combine fabrics to make something that’s so much larger the sum of its…
Chance
I usually expect letdowns. It’s my life; I’ve long become accustomed to it, but again and again, I allow my hopes to rise and expectations to form. Normally I’d call it a rookie mistake. Quite sad for someone who is hardly a rookie. I am of course talking about a girl I met. Well, I…

When I met Hayden, I felt as though every fiber of my being had suddenly connected to her.

Common Senses
“How do I even begin to describe these feelings?” he said. His mind raced as he tried to think of words that came anywhere close to what he felt. “It’s okay,” she said. “I understand your feelings. They’re the same ones I have.” “But people experience feelings in different ways. There is no telling that…
Function
My arm extends and falls atop the pillow upon which her head had lain, My stomach twists and there is an ache in my chest that pills cannot cure. Only one pillow had decorated the bed, and now there are two, The second serves as a constant reminder that she had been there, That I…
Brakes
The day her brakes failed was the day my life came to a standstill. She was rushed to the hospital, operated on, put in some care unit that had her hooked up to dozens of different beeping machines and fluid-carrying tubes. I wasn’t allowed in the room at first. Had to look at her through…
