Photo Finish

By Nickie Jamison

Though he dislikes Christmas, Alex Phillips works at the mall as one of Santa's elves, with their too-tight green denim jeans and Vulcan ears. He is flabbergasted when his co-worker elf for the season turns out to be Corin Perry, his old high school crush.

When they were still at school, Alex was the "gay emo goth" kid and Corin was the "handsome jock with a girlfriend" kid. They moved in different circles, although that didn't stop Alex from having a crush on Corin all through high school.

Meeting now as adults, Alex realises he might have been a dick to Corin in high school and that Corin has his own issues to face. Can their newfound friendship become something more and rekindle Alex's Christmas spirit?

The ladder creaked in protest as I leaned to reach a bare branch of the thirty-five-foot artificial Fraser fir at the center of the mall’s Santa’s Wonderland display. The pre-lit, pre-decorated, expensive-ass tree came wrapped in miles of plastic, and it was one problem I didn’t want to spend Thanksgiving dealing with. Almost all of the ornaments at the top of the tree had fallen off as Eddie, one of the other decorators, and I unpacked it. I didn’t understand why the dumbasses that made the tree didn’t
