Anna-Pia
Anna-Pia lived in the same dorm as me when I started school at Northeastern University and we both studied Computer Science.
I remember I had a huge crush on her from the moment I first saw her. It was one of those cases of a mutual, albeit platonic, interest. We became friends, but never romantic partners.
When I lived in New York state for a 6 month co-op, I wanted to encourage her to write, and my own letters did not seem to do that, so I wrote and sent her a short story to see if that would convince her. I called it Chapter One and I include it below.
I don’t remember if that worked, but I do remember her asking for Chapter Two, which, sadly, I still haven’t gotten to.
