I’m shopping in the produce section at Whole Foods. Cucumbers, bell peppers, broccoli. And I notice this gorgeous woman who’s looking at me with a kind of electric stare. So I look back. It’s compelling, magic. As if our eyes are having sex. Later at the checkout we brush elbows. And just like that, we drop our greens and leave together, arm-in-arm. If only. That last bit about us leaving together didn’t happen. What can I say? I guess my dream life took over. But the thing is, what if? What if we could live all of our parallel lives?

Good question! Perhaps the fantasy is better?

I'm all for parallel universes and the 'what-ifs' that surround them. Great story.

We could hop backwards and forwards from one to the other; experience the best of both universes.

And, at least those parallel lives make for great writing inspiration :) Comments are closed.
