Loss

I don’t think Grant and I ever had problems before Labor Day weekend. I honestly believe that. We’d met each other at a rally in college, and, though I know it sounds cliché, I fell in love at first sight. We graduated, got engaged, and married in less than two years. I found work in advertising; he started up and invested in several businesses along the East Coast. Work forced him away from home a lot, but I was always happy when we were together. And I’m sure he was too. We had the type of love others envied.

The Point

Dr. Timothy K. Webber was an unmatched genius who had both a knack for bending the rules and, by all standard measurements, a dreadfully large ego. Fortunately, this made Dr. Timothy K. Webber an innovative force in the fields of quantum physics, high energy physics, Applied Compulsion, and condensed matter physics. Unfortunately, this also made him an insufferable jerk.
