There is typically a turning point in everyone's life. It could be either love, pain, death, or a new life. Whichever, it happens. In this story, a man, Marcus, learns the world in such a diverse way, it changes him completely. I wrote this as the character relates to myself and what I believe in. It is a quite symbolic story that uncovers my personal fears, wants, and beliefs. *Fun Fact......believe it or not, months after this story was written, I met an Italian exchange student in which I fell in love. We dated for 5 months before she left me to be "friends." If you're reading this, this is for you, Vero.
