Description

CHICAGO, SOMETIME--
Two people meet in the armory of the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. By the end of the story, these things will still be true.
But this is not a story about endings.
For Regan, life is a finish line of mutually assured disappointment. Her method of coping with the dreariness of existence is to project herself into imagined multipotency, spinning new threads of destiny with every impulsive decision she makes. For Aldo, life is a plague of constancy--a structure of rules and formulas that keep him going, without which the entire frame of his existence would collapse.
For both of them, life is a matter of resigning themselves to the blueprints of inevitability, until six conversations with a stranger form the variable that glitches the entire simulation.

Reviews
Confusing
1By Summer CloudsIt shows how our thinking is should we have doubts on being with our significant other. It stories in a description of emotion that we feel. Not one for me. As once I understood the concept, it started to become quite annoying to me always expecting something to happen in the story when nothing has. Do not recommend to anyone to read.worth it
