Having recently come out of a long relationship I find myself at a crossroads. I feel I'm too young to spend the rest of my life alone but too damned old to do anything about it. But I decided to try again.

So I turned to Wong's, my city's premier chain of singles bars. The owner, Harry Wong, opened the swinging clubs in districts all over the city. After visiting each, I realized those people are more pathetic and desperate than I am.

So now I'm turning elsewhere. I've spent enough time looking for love in all the Wong places.

    Couldn't stay away, guys. This is in my blood. I found myself thinking of new drabbles every day I was gone. I've been going through a lot lately, but this is therapy, and something I should embrace rather than run from.

    Great stuff, Christopher. Welcome back. It's either serendipity or l'd love to think it's a response to my Bothered drabble today. Sorry you're having some tough stuff right now, but so glad you decided to come back. :-D

    Thanks, Neville. It was your drabble that pushed me to post something now. I'm somewhere I don't want to be at the moment so I got my phone out and came here. After I read that I wrote this drabble that had been bouncing in my head since before I even left. So, thanks for the push.

    You are very welcome, Christopher! I hope this will be therapeutic. It was an odd way to communicate, but I am pleased it did the trick. I am sure Drew will be very pleased too.

    Thanks, Drew. Yeah, it is sort of a groan-inducing reveal at the end.

    I was going to wait until I finished the Randolph story before I started posting them, but I might as well do like the other two stories and start posting before I finish. I think that spurs me on to actually work on it every day.
