Vicissitudes

I have experienced too many specific events that I have “wished” to occur for mere coincidence to explain. However, I am also equipped with a rational mind – a mind that is hard-wired to seek out direct causes and effects. This would leave me dumbfounded when the question of “how” some situations in my life could have possibly unfolded. Wiser now, I have grown to simply accept and to be grateful for dreams that are fulfilled - but the question remains, what of those dreams that don’t come to pass? This is a simple, fictional story of what could happen when discordant themes, when opposing wills clash – unknowingly derailing a particular reality from manifesting. Oh, by the way, there isn’t a Norms diner at the corner of Figuroa and El Cento in Hollywood. The two streets (to my knowledge) don’t meet.
