“First (ish) Date” - Writer
Molly matched with Jess and they’ve been talking ever since. Texting, flirting, calling, venting. After weeks, they finally find a night to meet face to face. However, Molly is haunted by a persistent and horrifying figure: herself. Throughout the date she fends off the shameless apparition and basks in Jess’s calm. When a nostalgic video game strikes Jess’s nerve, Jess and Molly have to decide if they’re prepared to share their whole selves.
