Abstract

This “What If…” piece was inspired by thoughts and memories of life late in high school. Both speaking characters are two reflections and halves of my younger self, trying to make sense of a world where I felt aimless. The “What If…” is pondering on how my life might have gone if I had decided to follow the path and fate of the pessimistic and hopeless character.



Author Biography

Aidan Donovan

Aidan Donovan is an attempting author who writes less than he wants and daydreams more than he should. In his spare time he paints, plays excessive amounts of tabletop games, and makes games about rats. He is finishing up his first novel and has a backlog of a half-dozen more waiting in scattered thoughts to be written. He is also really bad at writing about himself (a self-proclaimed statement that we, the Editorial Collective, do not agree with).
