The next day he saw that Michelle had posted SPIRITUAL REBIRTH! on Facebook. He clicked that he liked it.

A few minutes later he got an alert. Some guy commented, is that why you called me at three in the morning? Adam didn’t recognize the guy or his name. He looked at the guy’s profile picture. But the face was covered with hair, like a shoe gazer or a metal bro. He couldn’t see any more pictures. Then he noticed the neck tattoo poking through. He closed his laptop, filled his bag with more books than he could read, and went to Mosswood Park in Oakland.
