Mason was, as usual, chatting up all their fellow freshman, and Balliol was standing with Tommy, his arms crossed over his chest. “Damn Matt for coming in as a sophomore,” he said. “Freshman orientation could be fun,” Tommy told him, and waved at a kid who was wearing a tee shirt with the name Jesus encased in a fish. “No,” Balliol said. “It couldn’t.

One day, in the middle of Keisha Darrow’s thirtieth year, as she was drying dishes, she immediately stopped. She stood at the sink for a long while, looking out of the curtained window onto the driveway. She didn’t even focus at first. It was all blurs. It was all vague shapes. She heard nothing.

“I WISH YOU WERE COMING with us,” Sully said as Matt was getting ready to leave the Darrow house.             “Yeah, Matt,” Mason joined in. “I mean, we’re only going to look at the house we’re all going to end up living in.

Upstairs Bonnie Metzger looked in the mirror. She was eighteen, but looked a little older, he eyes were weak because of tears and also because the mascara she usually wore was gone. She’d dyed her hair black, but that just looked ridiculous now, and she hadn’t bathed since yesterday. She could smell herself. She didn’t care. “Swain, thank you for being here.” To Swain, her friend sounded different. Her voice was lighter. Bonnie just kept running her han...

Adam Bannerjee was coming out of the washroom when he almost bumped into Dan. “I’m sorry man.” “It’s all right,” Dan brushed it aside. “Plus, I wanted to thank you. For the job and everything.” “Well,” Adam smiled, embarrassed, “it’s not like I gave it to you.” “You gave Savannah the application and you gave me the interview and… I really needed it. Not just for the money, but also to get out...

“So, Mason,” Dan was saying as they were sweeping up the garage, “How is Savannah doing?” “She’s good.” “She’s not still with that Bobby guy, is she?” “No.” “Good, he was an asshole.” Dan stopped and struck a pose, rubbing his chin. “So... if I gave her a call?” “Uh…” “Uh… what?” Mason looked for a way to phrase this. “You co...
