In many ways, Love is an incredible phenomenon. You may ask scientists and biologists about it, and they will tell you it is all but a dance of chemicals in our bodies that makes us behave according to genetic patterns. If you ask artists, they will find a myriad of ways to compare it to other experiences, while lacking appropriate forms of expression to really tell you what it is. Asking your parents might elicit a troubled look at each other, then a warm smile and a patronizing head pat, with a commentary about being patient. In all of these cases, everyone says that it's a little like a switch that is flipped inside you, without you being even aware of it - it's just _there_, until you realize its presence, and its flipped state.
It just so happens that a young adult living somewhere in the further away suburbs of New York is sitting, alone, in his house. Unaware of what is in store for him, he obliquely rested on his arm, looking at a computer screen. He thought he knew love before. But then...
Something clicks.
And his life was never the same anymore.
...It sure would be nice to have control over that switch, right?
