The One about Time Travel...

 - Vancouver, British Columbia -

"Nathan,

How does a flux capacitor actually work? Based on the mathematical meaning of "flux," one would assume that the device is a storage container for some substance that passes perpendicular to a region....one would further assume this would be the stream of time as it passes through one specific location...but how is this time stored in a capacitor, and how is this stored time used as a fuel source to travel THROUGH time? One could guess that at 88 miles per hour, the flux of time over a small period of time is SO great that the device reaches some sort of self-sustaining critical mass....Thus perhaps this critical mass creates some sort of singularity that allows for time travel....but even this is mainly conjecture....so, my main question is, how does it work?

Sincerely, Emmett Brown Jr.,"

The One About Forbidden American Love...

 - Vancouver, British Columbia -

"Nathan,

I am a young Muslim woman. In university, I fell in love with an American. I am American as much as he is, but he isn't a Muslim, thus in my family's eyes that makes him something entirely different. My family is a devot Islamic family, so I know they would never approve of our love. But that's just it....I love him. I believe he would do anything for me, and maybe he would convert? I don't know. I don't want him to convert just because of me, but it is important to me to pass on my faith to my children. I know he would make a good father, but he isn't Muslim, so my family would say that he wouldn't make a good father. Sorry if I'm rambling. I love him and I want to marry him, but I don't know what I should do. I've never felt this way about someone before. What should I do?

Sincerely, An Unrepentant Lover"

The One about the Pervert...

 - Vancouver, British Columbia -

"Help me, Mr Orefice!

I'm in love with not one, not two, but three of my coworkers. Sometimes I just want to bathe them with my tongue. My boss says I have to give it a rest or I'm fired, but my libido won't allow it. They flirt with me a little bit, at least I think they do. It could be in my head.

Long story short: should I just quit my job and proposition them, or should I only proposition only one of them?

Also, I'm always broke.

Sincerely, A Man of Unbridled Passion"

The One about No Happiness in Dreamland...

- Vancouver, British Columbia -

"Hey,

I have terrible nightmares, but they aren't horrific or obscene. No one dies or anything. I just wake up from these dreams feeling like something terrible has happened in my life, even if nothing particularly strange happens in my dreams. When I wake, the darkness terrifies me. I live alone, which I like, but when waking up, I can't help but feeling utterly isolated from the rest of the world. It puts me into a panic attack, making me feel worse. What is wrong with me? Is this normal? Am I going crazy?

Sincerely, Tired of Dreaming"

The One about the Conflicted Artist...

 - Vancouver, British Columbia -

"Dear Nathan,
I am an artist. I paint and I love it more than anything else in the world. I love capturing landscapes and everyday human interactions. The problem is that my mother wants me to go to university, not for art, but to become a lawyer. This is the last thing I want to do. I hate confrontation. Which is why I don't know how to tell her that I can't. She's a single mother, but is still willing to pay my way through university. How she will, I don't know, but I feel like she thinks I am her one chance to move up in the world. What should I do?

Sincerely, A Conflicted and Tortured Artist"
