The Beginning 

I was only 19 and very naïve. Had I known I'd cause so much trouble that year maybe I wouldn't have. But with all the things I've done, really thinking about it, I'd probably do it all. over. again.

I was watching tv -some old love film was on. "Sherly," the man in black and white said, "I love you, please never go." . The woman in black and white cried, "Evan, I'll leave you never again." I threw a piece of pop corn in my mouth. "Boring." I muttered.

Standing up, I decided it was time for something to drink. All this salty popcorn was making me thirsty. Before I even started walking, the phone rang. "Call from Quincy" the phone read. Reluctantly I answered the phone, what could it be this time?

"Hey chick!" She said happily.

"Hi, what's up?" I asked.

" Well.. I know it's not much your scene.." she started, "but how about you come to my place this year for Halloween?" She asked.

"Oh gosh, quincet, I don't know." I muttered, rubbing my hand over my eyes.

"C'mon, you never come to my Halloween parties." She cried. "Just this one time can't you just let loose and come chat with a few young adults?" She questioned.

"Would anyone I know be there?" I asked.

"Well, don't get mad, but, I invited Wesley." She said apologetically.

"Oh my god, Quincy why would you do that? -And then ask me to come?" I questioned with a stressed tone. Wesley was an ex from my fist year in college last fall. We had a good run, but ( to make a long story short ) things just didn't work out. 

"I mean you don't have to talk to him!" She protested. "Look, it'll be fun, just think about it and call me back when you decide what you wanna do." She asked with hope.

I sighed, "alright." I answered.

The next day I woke up on the couch, yet again, the phone was ringing. Ignoring it, I got up and dragged myself tiredly to the bathroom. I looked at my watch, rubbing my finger across its face, a hologram appeared. "October 22nd 2076" it read. I scrolled down and below it said "Current time: 9:45am." Oh shit I'm late for work.
