We Call It Drama, Then a Joke, Then Just Aging
The elevator reached the seventeenth floor and stopped. A man in his early fifties came in, gray jacket, carrying two bags of groceries. Behind him was a man in work clothes, a badge clipped to his chest. The gray jacket said his son was acting up again, saying he was stressed and couldn't sleep.

Where Paths Overlap
All encounters and partings are not predetermined; rather, they are the result of the soul’s probability field. Life is not a pre-written chain of cause and effect, but a constantly shifting field of possibilities. No one is destined to arrive, and no one is destined never to leave. Who we meet, the relationships we build, and when we part ways often depend on the probability distribution shaped by our current knowledge, identity, abilities, choices, environment, and state of mind.
