Through wry glances, missed signals, and messy truths, people fumble, flail, and occasionally flourish in their search for connection. From queer youth on the edge to siblings frozen in childhood wounds, from surreal city wanderings to van rides toward difficult choices; these stories shine with awkward grace and emotional honesty. Life doesn’t tie itself up neatly, but sometimes, it gives us just enough thread.
On the way to terminate a surprise pregnancy, a woman drops in on a former one-night stand, the unsuspecting father, to let him know. He barely remembers her, but offers a ride in his dad’s van. What begins as an awkward favor unfolds into a disarmingly funny, emotionally layered journey through traffic, tension, and the strange intimacy of shared decisions. With sharp dialogue and surprising warmth, this story explores the complicated, often comic truth about reproductive choice, personal agency and unexpected connections.
