Introduction
Gabriel is finally graduating from college. Having the rest of his life right ahead of him, he contemplates the entire meaning of graduation.
Mr. Loon-leey
They say the French are masters of romance, but this guy can make you wonder. He sometimes has the smoothness of a jagged edge and struck out a few dozen times. Somehow, he does manage to get through for what is to be a night to remember
Oscar
Young and away from home for the first time, Oscar struggles to adapt to his new surroundings. How can he handle these changes? Maybe a voice from within has the answer.
Jeremy
In need of a friend? So is Jeremy! If your friend just so happens to be a computer connected to his most favorite web site in the world: Myspace.
For Beatrice
What started out to be a once in a lifetime opportunity was suddenly brought to a halt to Adam’s life with the death of his Grandmother. Maybe a conversation with God could help him find some guidance.
