  artwork - Kdama Leo shuffled through the sliding doors at the IPC Collections Office, avoiding eye contact with anyone he could. He felt defeated, embarrassed at the state of his life. After such smooth sailing in his pre-college years and how he had entered college with plenty of bravado and confident assurance given to his parents that he’d make it on his own, he was now poor and drowning in debt like many students in today’s world of rising costs. Now he was being forced to face the truth, that he had fucked up. “Five missed payments on your loans Mr. Gregor.
