I sat there on my wife’s second computer staring at the screen. It had been moved into my office from hers a few months ago. When I had lost my job it had only made sense to step up and help her while she juggled a pair of jobs. They called it being Overemployed, and for Melissa it had just made sense. As a member of the HR team for a mid-sized company as he...
So, you want to get rich quick? How rich do you want to be? C'mon, it's just the two of us. Whisper it in my ear; only don't blow in my ear this time. Wow! That much?

I arrived in Los Angeles in time for the Winter quarter, but otherwise I was totally unprepared to return to my old life. My former roommates had given away my room when I had failed to show in August, but my friends were able to find me another apartment close to campus. When asked what had happened to me over the previous seven months, I was never able to...

Darryl was in such a hurry that morning that he nearly put on his wicking shirt backwards. He brushed his teeth vigorously, but didn't stop to comb and coif. He was just going to get dirty again, he thought grimly. Darryl normally didn't plan on sweating this early in the morning, but ever since his Subaru had broken down last week, he'd had to rely on his b...
Philip Brubaker was an unusual child, always questioning, always looking for hidden meaning, never taking a break from his inherent overpowering intellectual curiosity. Distinct from most children like him who change dramatically when they get older, Philip never did yield to convention. His intellectual curiosity remained the hallmark of his existence even...

I kick a pebble down the sidewalk, watching it skitter into the gutter. Another aimless afternoon in suburban LA, the sun beating down on my neck, making me wish I'd worn a hat. The mall was a bust today--nothing caught my eye, and the crowds were too thick for my liking. Living with my parents at 25 isn't exactly glamorous, but it's rent-free, and my job at...
