This choice: Alex Carrigan, Intergalactic Student Abroad • Go Back...Chapter #3Alex Carrigan, Intergalactic Student Abroad by: bobboled Hey, My names Alex Carrigan, I am an average human male, six feet tall and with short red hair, and after completing my second year at the university I got the chance to study abroad.
