Gary lives life looking through the lens of a camera. It was easier that way. He gets to experience life from a distance. You don’t get hurt that way. He learned that lesson, the hard way. When his boss calls him into a size fitting and asks him what he thinks about making the man in the fluorescent lace manties one of their fashion models, Gary stops dead in his tracks at the sight of his college crush looking better than ever.

I usually took the bus home, but after a twelve-hour day, I just didn’t have the energy. I was ready to be home, grab some dinner then head to bed to get ready to do it all over again in the morning. Usually my job was pretty boring. Accounts payable wasn’t one of the “exciting” career paths my company had. But when word of an audit came through the grapevine, suddenly I was the most important employee, and I all but moved into my office. At least it was Thursday. There was only one day left until the weekend. I climbed the steps of our five-story walk-up and grabbed my mail before heading up the four flights to my destination. Most days I didn’t mind the steps, but today I was wishing we were living in one of the fancy apartment buildings with an elevator. Not that we would move. My roommate Milo and I both had lesser paying jobs, and the two of us were barely able to afford this place. I flipped through the mail as I climbed the steps, not really seeing any of it.

Milo’s family lived about two hours from our place and he tended to go home pretty frequently to visit. His father was not having the best medical year and, unlike me, Milo hated the city and lived for getting away from it all. “No.” He set the box on the coffee table. “Remember when I put my name in for that promotion?” I tried to think back to which one he was talking about. Milo was always looking for the next big promotion in his company. “The one as group lead?” I guessed. “No. I didn’t get that one.” He didn’t get most of them, usually because he didn’t meet the requirements to get an interview. Milo was very much a you don’t know if you don’t try kind of guy, and I admired that about him. He was willing to take bold risks to get what
