Welcome to Antioch College

By Mitch Goth

After many years of vacancy, Antioch College is coming back to life. Through renovation and restructuring done by it's new president, this small liberal arts school calls in its first class in several years. But this isn't good news some. Evan Morgan, an antisocial and anxious young man, arrives for his first day of orientation. Drawn in by several unheard of perks as well as the school's size, Evan is quickly taken off guard by the eccentricity of both the new student body and the staff members. As his first day goes by, Evan can't help but wonder what exactly he'd gotten himself into.

Authors Note:

Although Antioch College is a real higher learning institution, this book is a work of fiction.

If you'd like to know more factual information about the college, please contact them directly, don't take it from me.

The warm Ohio air smelled of fresh rain and blooming flowers, as it did most every spring time. The wind lingered listlessly through the budding trees, creating a subtle orchestra of nature.

It was the kind of early spring day that bred the hope for summer, the kind of day that kids would actually poke themselves outside for.

This sense of glorious spring was not lost anywhere, not even on the desolate campus of Antioch College. The college had closed several years prior to this spring season, but even without the groundskeepers around the grasses of the main lawn grew rich and full. This lawn had become the place for people to come on days like this one and soak it all in. They could enjoy nature, get away from it all, and stare up at the cloud-marbled sky for hours. And most everyone did on this day, everyone except Wes Harding and his entourage of contractors.
