The Soul Mates a serial by Scott Walker

Sometimes it's not enough to be soul mates. Sometimes, it takes something more. This short serial explores what the something is.

Red Line into Boston - Riding on the Red Line into Boston had been one of Tom Jinkowski's fondest childhood memories. He would've been hard pressed to think of anything as easy as dropping a token, or two, into the slot, passing through the turn-styles and finding a seat. Tom enjoyed the stress free ride; the pressure of driving temporarily abated, and would sometimes find himself dangerously close to sleep and the possibility of missing his stop.

What's wrong? - Samantha arrived home on December 18th, while Tom was held up at school with finals until the 22nd. On the 24th, Tom's parents had a Christmas party at their house, and Samantha sat impatiently in the living room, waiting for Tom to arrive home from an errand his mother had sent him to accomplish. Finally, as if God knew that Samantha could wait no longer, the front door opened and Tom stepped in from the cold.
