This is based loosely on a true story. I wrote this as more of a fantasy
version of reality rather than depress the world with the boredom that
is REAL LIFE. I especially embellished on the happy ending. The things
that are true are most of the conversations. I changed around who said
what so that PAUL wasn't the only one talking all the time. There really
is a place where everybody congregates to philosophize as these characters
do. I guess I wanted to write this story out to exorcize the demon that
turned out to be my love life, or lack thereof. I changed the ending to
a happy ending because I thought if reality sucked, then let me have a
fictional contentment instead.
