All his sins are forgiven in my eyes.

I notice foreshadowing all the time:

>in elevator last week of college
>some guy has a lot of gardening tools in his hands
>one girl says, "Ha. Plan on stealing some flowers?"
>"I'm going to steal the entire garden tonight!"
>everyone laughs and departs
>the very next day a girl walks up to me with a flower and says, "Thank you for always making me smile."

My life seems like a story at times.

>not getting an English degree and moving to Japan or Korea to teach English in their schools

They will literally pay for your living and travel expenses as well as give you a decent salary and they don't even expect you to speak their language.

I've come to the point where I can read in Arabic (I'm living in Dubai soon so I need to learn) decently, but I'm reached a point where I can't read much faster. The words I do notice I can read almost immediately, but how do I improve my reading skill? Do I just need to "learn the language," to be able to read as fast as I do in English or what?

Are there any good stories that revolve around the history of the data in a floppy disc or of an archive of data from the internet and pre-internet (BBS)?

I was thinking about writing a story about a dead father who would praise his son on a BBS back in the early 90s but died before the son grew up. However, I would like to read other stories that might touch similar areas.
