“I promise, he seems a bit strange at first, but he really is an alright guy,” my buddy Ben said to me before taking a large glug of his beer. “And the apartment, I mean what a steal, man. Queen Village is becoming one of the coolest areas in Philly.”“Right… I mean, what’s strange about him, though?

I turned to the window behind him, seeing the unknowing waves draw back to leave a long desert of white sand. The only boat in view bobbed by the half-wrecked dock, the two occupants shielding their eyes to look out for us.“I know we just met them, but this is our only chance ...

Anya closed the lid of her laptop over the keyboard programmed to light up in gradient shades of pink. She checked her smartwatch that showed 8:30pm in the foreground of her other metrics: heart-rate, steps, temperature outside. She sighed as she imagined the strenuous drive into the city, then arriving into the chaos of anticipation and storm of pheromones that was the infamous Open Mic Night at Sparrow Lounge.Her brain shifts modes: from meticulous and professional software programmer to loose and relaxed “cool girl”, laughing along with a...
