Exile in Atlanta
A year ago, had I wondered what the end of 2020 would be like, I certainly wouldn’t have imagined living in the heart of Atlanta. I’ve called this city home for as long as I can remember, but it’s always been a relationship of mutual passivity. The summer before college was the most time I’d spent in Downtown Atlanta, a commute made easier by my sister’s apartment being a stone’s throw from the Belt Line. Still, it wasn’t city-living so much as finding a space for myself halfway between work and home. In fact, that brief transitory lifestyle between high school student and college student was almost enough to discourage me from wanting to ever live downtown.

The West Campus Stakeout
It’s Sunday, the first of March when a fear I haven’t felt in over four months rears its ugly head over yet another semester. The time is roughly nine o’clock, my yoga partner and I having just left our first session of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Luckily the night is brisk but not unbearable as we make our way to the lake track across from West Campus for our weekly evening ritual. It’s a week before daylight saving time begins, so we’re safe under the cover of dusk.
