I won't bore you with the background details of what I'm about to share (although, man, why would you be reading this if you weren't bored already?), but basically, I wrote a story not long ago about my buddy's kid working at the college where I went to school, and had him snap a picture of the hall when nobody was in it. Then I made an alteration or two to the picture, because it wasn't at all what I wanted, but I wasn't going to ask him to take another one.*
That photo is here:
So, I wrote up the text for the story, in my usual green text, like so:
It doesn't look great, I know, but it was pretty close to what I was looking for. And honestly, I'm real easy to please when it comes to . . .

Thank Krishna I caught it in time! I was able to grab the image, fix the spelling, and whew, here's the final product:
(relieved sigh)
Yes, I went to college. That college.

*The poor kid risked deportation just snapping the single phone pic he sent me.

This hall doesn't look anything like the hall in my memory (or the story), but ah well.
