The skies are overcast and threatening rain. You pull up the collar of your jacket and quicken your pace toward home—not wanting to be caught in the downpour. Suddenly, you are distracted from your concerns by a man dressed all in black, sprinting right toward you down the sidewalk! Not having the time to sidestep his approach, you collide with the man. Without apologizing, he picks himself up and continues his mad dash down the street. As you begin to have sore thoughts about the man and rise to your feet, you notice a photo on the ground. It's a picture of your best friend! You realize that the man in black must have dropped it when he bumped into you.

What do you do?

If you feel an urgent need to answer that question—won't you join us for Collective Storytelling?

Eric Canosa majored in cryptoliterary studies at Miskatonic University and graduated with high honors. Following a six-month marketing internship in Trollesund, Lapland, Eric spent a few satisfying weeks as an intransitive verb. Nowadays, he is a passionate creative writer and experienced teacher who spends a lot of time thinking of ways to inspire people that wander through the doors of the Liberty Street Robot Supply & Repair.

Dan Peterson, a Virginia native and a graduate of Swarthmore College, is currently a Philosophy PhD student at the University of Michigan specializing in Philosophy of Physics, which he swears is a real thing. He spends a lot of time thinking about time travel and would one day love to invent a time machine.
