I woke up late and rushed to pack my suitcase, grab some cash, and make it to the airport in time for my flight to Montreal. My Uber driver was on point, getting me to FLL with time to spare. I breezed through security, grabbed some coffee, and jumped on the plane like a boss. Three and a half hours later, my flight landed safely at YUL.

Marley touched his shoulder, his mouth twisted as if he had eaten something bitter, his brow raised in askance. Chayse shook his head, he shrugged, his hands spread in bewilderment.

Views From Moore Gym It was around 7:30 Friday night, when myself and four of my friends escaped the rafts of hurricane Joaquin, through the back emergency doors of the historic Moore Gymnasium.
