A Short Story
Penned By: Dave Brown
      As I'm reading the Demons box score, I get a tap on the shoulder.  I look up to see the smile.  That's really all I saw, it's like a tractor beam for the eyes, but when they finally struggle free, the mothership does not disappoint in her beauty.  She was wearing plain clothes, a black tee with some fairly tight but not restrictively so jeans.  I wasn't fooled for a second.  She asked me in a kind and gentle voice if I knew where Building 4 was.  I said of course I did, and I'd be happy to walk her there, since my next class was there also.
       "TOM 311?" she asked, with a tinge of hope accompanying the rising pitch in her voice.
       Soon enough we were on our way to class.  Normally I hate the first day of classes, but this was looking up.  We arrived at Building 4 after some laughter and chit-chat, and then we took adjacent seats in the middle of the room somewhere.  I didn't hear a word the professor said.  Not that he was boring, and not that I was staring, but I couldn't take my mind off of her.  I was infected, and no antibiotic could help me now.
       Over the next few weeks we developed a good friendship.  We talked often, about everything and nothing.  Turns out we have lots in common.  Also she has a great sense of humor, (and by great I mean similar to mine,) which works out great for both of us because she gets to laugh and I get to enjoy her now famous smile.
