Quantum computers and love
In the Netflix series The One, geneticists crack the biological code that bonds two human beings into the perfect pair. The series postulates that the same pheromone, genetic matching that functions in ants, also functions in humans. Send a DNA sample to the show’s fictional One matching service, and they scour their DNA database for your biological match, using an algorithm that detects predestined genetic connections. It’s a plausible theory, and the only thing holding it back is that it’s likely impossible that human beings use the same genetic connectors as ants. For humans, we must still rely on the traditional model of falling and staying in love, which usually requires effort on the part of both parties. Yet, the show explores this idea reasonably well. When someone meets their match, there’s an almost instant connection, the feeling as if you’ve known this person for years. Every person only has one living match (and it's possible a match is already deceased), so if something happens to yours, you’re to live a life with whatever mediocre replacement exists.

Hat & Coat
Daniel's walked into the Lucky Penny lounge sharply scanning the evening crowd. Although the club was purposely dim and secretive, Daniel's experience as a police detective gave him a keen and quick eye for subtle detail. His experience as an assassin gave him a killers instinct.

Getting back at men named Tim
“You asked why I’ve been showing so much. We’re the only ones here so you’ve got time. Let me tell you a story. It was late on a Friday night, maybe 10 or 11. I was meant to meet my girl Brittany and our friends for a drink here, back when it was first opened as ‘The Hanged Man’. We were supposed to catch up and celebrate our years together, and years to come. Instead traffic, weather, family crises and burnt phone batteries blew our night to high hell in a special kind of clusterfuck you don’t see every day. So of course, it was closing in on Saturday when I learnt the last of my troupe weren’t coming and that I could look back on the night as a soloist. I remember leaning over the bar to motion the beard behind the booze and pay my tab, when a crash behind me drew his attention. In the middle of the commotion of broken timber and glass was an even more broken looking young woman. My first assumption of course was that she was drunk and needed a cab, but on further thinking I realised she had only been in the bar for close to 10 minutes, and seemed sober when she walked in. Of course, she insisted as well to the bartender that she wasn’t drunk, and he can fuck right off for bothering her. I’m not sure what compelled me to get involved - it must have been a last ditch attempt to make something of the night beyond drinking alone – but I found myself picking up pieces of wood and woman and settling in to see if she was okay. She was quick to share that her husband had cheated on her and she found out halfway through a glass of ‘Jetbird’ (pointing to the somehow intact bottle amongst the wreckage) by text moments prior to the outburst.

A Robins Nest
A Robin’s Nest I knew him, or so it would seem. Perfect strangers that were known to each other. I’m not talking in that past life sense or casual encounters cliche sense. When our eyes met, I immediately realized I knew him. I guess a backstory would help you understand.

Leave Room for Dessert
"I ordered the Merlot, I hope that is ok?" he said, passing the filled glass across the table towards her. She smiled timidly at him, pushing the glass up against her nose and inhaling. She wasn't a fancy wine person, that was for sure. On occassion she would buy a cheap box from the local store, the kind that burnt the back of your throat as you drank it. This one was rich, and warm. She felt her toes tingle. As she sipped she began to relax.

Flight Benefits
Love was something that I never dreamed of. Not that I am against it. I just never thought anyone would notice me like that. Here I am this 5’2 chubby, black girl who is pretty just not noticeable. I worked part time for one of the chain hotels. We had complimentary breakfast and a happy hour that we dubbed the Kick Back. It wasn’t uncommon that we would get plenty of pilots to stay overnight as we were across the highway from the airport. I’d see them come in flocks as I’d called them. Flight after flight. Night after night.
