Shayla, your great imagination runs throughout your “Wunderful” story. The wacko characters made me laugh which, if I were Alec, that would bring a measure of peace. The story also recalled an architect who I met many decades ago. He was a graduate of RISD, all polished up the way Alex was and designed buildings that looked like ribbons. There were no details on how to actually hold it together. It was not buildable. The whole scene was hilarious and I could only laugh as I experienced his drawings, project after project. He never was very successful but, he always projected a false air of superiority. What a mess. Ha, Ha! I am sure that RISD has many fine graduates from their architectural program but, your story reminded me of this one guy who I knew personally. Oh, I am glad that Alec came to the point of honestly expressing himself by drawing on the wall. There is nothing better than just being yourself. You have a wonderful, if not “wunderful” way of bringing out good lessons in your writings. Congratulations and much love, B😎b.

Hi James! I'm so sorry you had that negative experience in Architect school. I've never been in an architect class, but I get the impression that perfection is key in that profession, which leads to a lot of stress. That's exactly what Alec was dealing with. I hope you're enjoying Computer Science, and thank you for the positive feedback on this story!
