Abstract
In this collection of stories from Toledo-based writer Alex McCullough, young adulthood and all its various joys and sorrows are rendered with equal measures humor and poignancy. In one story, a young woman and her sister confront their father at a dinner party celebrating his engagement to his second wife. In another, a sheltered boy and his charismatic new neighbor conspire to cross the Canadian border, with disastrous aftermath. In another, a young woman, failing out of her prestigious university, struggles through a torturous Thanksgiving dinner with her extended family. In another, a dysregulated young man yearns for metamorphosis as the anniversary of a past trauma looms in the near future. The narrators of these seven stories are all at a crossroads. They face unrequited love, disillusionment, self-destructive habits, crippling nostalgia, conflicts of identity and sense of place, familial strife, and the perennial quandary: how do we possibly navigate these delicate years? How do we ever make it out the other side?

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
