Emmy and Lamont: Between the lines

Fiction by Joe Selmont.
Do you remember these two from our fall back-to-campus blog? It was called UAA Life Hacks because it was intended to ease everyone's return to campus. There's soooo much to do, to know, to accomplish in those first few weeks. Campus experts, from students to staff and faculty, offered some tips on easing back in to the life of the mind.

And then there was Lamont Harpe, a fictional character created by French literature major Joe Selmont. And there was Emmy, who first popped up in one of Lamont's classes.

In the first few weeks of school, they started to notice each other, and flirt a little. Then, this happened.

Wow.

Well...

Now that we are much deeper into the semester, Joe is a very busy guy. He works over at the Info Desk in the Student Union and he knows just about everything going on in that whole big building. But, despite his jammed schedule, he's agreed to check back in on Lamont and Emmy. 

Because Joe is busy, Lamont and Emmy are busy.  Meaning they mostly communicate with furtive text messages. They keep in touch, they plan, they date, they flirt.



Thanks to Joe, we get to drop back in, via text.




Stay tuned, for more twists and turns in the text-y saga of Lamont and Emmy.
