We bumped into each other or rather our hands bumped into each other. Only real focus on something can take a person so far into their own head they don’t notice a pending collision. That our game of chicken (hands) was happening in the local public library at the card catalogue only added to the farce of our first meeting. The inadvertent fist bump a result of the two of us looking for the same b...

I yawn as I flip the page in my boring algebra book. What kind of torturous device is this?

Ms. Brandowald is constantly yelling at me to not fall asleep, but it’s her fault.

In bold red letters read “**Redline Run**” against a black background.

The description on...
