I had an aisle seat on the right side of the plane, and when I got to my row, both seats were empty. This is a true story. Eporner I had no plans to go to college, and no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I don’t recall if we even said goodbye. I know the circumstances might seem hard to believe, but I assure you, it really happened this way. I decided to fly out to Tacoma and try living with my brother and his wife for a while, so I bought a plane ticket. It’s a difficult thing to stick out like a sore thumb when you’re desperate not to be noticed. Instead of basking in the afterglow of my first sexual experience, I was suddenly very nervous about getting caught by airport security, or anyone else for that matter.
