\u2014 Tales from the Universe<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a department in the universe that nobody talks about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t have a name anyone can pronounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t appear on any map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as far as I can tell, nobody has ever received a letter from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is probably intentional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is called the Department of Coincidences.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they are very busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

You have probably encountered their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You think about someone you haven’t spoken to in ten years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five minutes later, they call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You mention a song you haven’t heard since childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes on the radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re wondering whether you should take a particular job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you open a book and find a sentence that seems almost suspiciously relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You walk into a caf\u00e9 you’ve never visited before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The person sitting next to you is reading the exact book you’ve been thinking about all week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You call it a coincidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And somewhere in the universe, a very tired civil servant stamps a form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROCESSED.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Department of Coincidences does not make miracles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would be handled by another department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miracles have paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coincidences are cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They simply arrange for things to happen at approximately the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number on a clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A book falling off a shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything must remain technically explainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department has very strict regulations about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are thinking about calling your mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your phone rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s your mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case closed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could explain it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course you could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps she was already planning to call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you usually talk at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps your brain is simply very good at predicting patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All perfectly reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department is not interested in reasonable explanations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They just want the timing to be really, really good.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

There are several divisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department has never officially confirmed this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I have heard rumors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is the Unexpected Meeting Division.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They specialize in putting two people in the same place who otherwise would never have met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A missed train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wrong turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A coffee shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A delayed flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A seat that happened to be empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One tiny alteration in an ordinary day can put two entire lives on a collision course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes they become friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes they fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes one of them says something the other desperately needed to hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes they never speak again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department considers all of these successful outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Then there is the Perfect Timing Division.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These people are terrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are responsible for things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening a door exactly when someone needs help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arriving at a hospital five minutes before something important happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing the right song on the worst day of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the exact piece of information you needed buried three pages into a completely unrelated article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They specialize in moments where you look around afterward and think:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did that happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

There is also a department nobody likes to talk about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Almost Too Much Division.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the coincidences that pile up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One coincidence is funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two are interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three make you suspicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven make you start staring at the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You think about a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You hear their name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see their hometown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone mentions the exact obscure hobby they have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you receive a message from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, the Department sends a representative to your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The representative is invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their job is simply to stand behind you and whisper:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Please remain calm.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are usually ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

I don’t think the Department is trying to tell us what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A coincidence is not necessarily a command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes a coincidence is just a coincidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the universe lines things up because the universe is enormous and strange and probability is a wonderful machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we notice patterns because human beings are pattern-making creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sometimes\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the timing is so absurd that you just have to laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department appreciates that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

I imagine the employees taking their jobs very seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A room full of cosmic clerks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands of desks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stacks of forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charts covering the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone yelling across the office:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“WHO APPROVED THE THIRD DOG?”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another voice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“IT WASN’T US. THAT WAS ANIMAL SERVICES.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A printer jams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone sighs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A supervisor walks over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What’s the problem?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’ve got two people who haven’t seen each other in eighteen years.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“And?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They’re both going to the same grocery store.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The supervisor checks the paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Can we make it happen?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Absolutely.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“How?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One of them forgets the milk.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The supervisor smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Excellent.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

And maybe this is why coincidence feels so strange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because most of our lives are built out of things that don’t happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thousands of people we could have met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roads we could have taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversations that almost happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The places we almost visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decisions we almost made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For every person who becomes part of your life, there are countless others you passed without ever knowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A different bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A different restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A different Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A different five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And suddenly your entire life is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Coincidences works in those five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Maybe that’s why some people feel important almost immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You meet them and something clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not necessarily romance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not necessarily friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it’s simply recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t know why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe the Department has been trying to put you in the same room for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe they finally got the paperwork through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or maybe it’s nothing at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department is not responsible for interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They only handle scheduling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

And sometimes their work is painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You meet someone at exactly the wrong time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You lose someone because of one tiny coincidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A missed call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A missed flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A door that closed too soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A decision made five minutes earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Coincidences does not promise that its work will be kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would be far too much responsibility for one department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life contains beautiful accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also contains terrible ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same machinery that brings two people together can separate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps that is why we shouldn’t turn every coincidence into a message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes a strange thing happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it hurts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it simply happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

But there is one thing I like about the Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They remind me that life is not nearly as linear as it feels from inside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wake up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We make plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We follow schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We assume tomorrow will resemble today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then somebody forgets their umbrella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dog gets loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bus breaks down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A stranger asks a question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone decides to stop for coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And suddenly the entire trajectory changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We call it an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I like imagining a little office somewhere in the universe where someone quietly circles the event in red ink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMPORTANT.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

So the next time something strange lines up, you don’t have to believe it means anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to turn it into a prophecy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to make a decision because the universe gave you a funny little sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can simply notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone thought of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You thought of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song came on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The door opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bird landed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book fell open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stranger smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timing was ridiculous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for one tiny moment, the enormous machinery of existence produced something that felt almost personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it wasn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But somewhere, deep in the impossible bureaucracy of the universe, a clerk may have just finished a little piece of paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They put down their pen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at the completed form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coincidence successfully delivered.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
