Apples

Apples to apples, dust to dust. Garrett Ives hasn't emerged from her bedroom for three days. Her best friends take shifts outside her locked door trying to convince her to let them in or, at the very least, tell them what's wrong. But why did she lock herself in her room? And why is Garrett, compulsively clean, allowing a bag of apples to rot on the kitchen table?

Physicists are the golden children of science; the Institute gives them the longest fellowships--three to five years--and the nicest housing. Mathematicians are the bastard stepkids; they get one-year fellowships and have to find their own lodging, often made out of cardboard. Historians are permitted at the Institute only that the mathematicians will have someone to mock. ~ Physics Prom
