"You seem a million miles away. What has your attention—that newspaper or that Japanese maple out there? The tree is new, isn't it? Wasn't something else there before?" The questions came from Walker Sharp, the novelist, and Maxwell Ackerman's neighbor in the row of small, but very expensive, townhouses on Drayton Street, facing Savannah's thirty-acre Forsyt...
I must have gone to sleep. Because I didn't know if I was dreaming or if I really felt it. Like the whole summer, I had retreated to my favorite spot in the field, laid out my blanket, freed myself of all my clothes, and laid me down to sunbathing. I had found this place more by accident when I was driving home from the gym. My studio was about ten minutes...
Here is the third chapter. This is an experience that I really enjoyed, though only twice in my life. This has reference to my first mail. In my first job in India, with Kirloskar, I had to do a lot of travelling. Once I had to go to Madras, & I took the night bus from Bangalore. I was supposed to stay at my uncle’s house, but the bus got in at about 5am, s...
"No," he cried out to the heavens, "No! It can't be! It simply can't be... my beloved..." Alexander III -- Alexander the Great, King of Greece, Conquerer of Persia and all of Asia -- knelt on the dry and dusty Mesopotamian earth, the lifeless body of his beloved comrade Hephaistion clutched tightly to against his breast. They had been the closest of friends...
My Dearest Wife, I hope you are well. I miss you and the kids very much and think about you every day. I know me being locked up hasn't been easy for you, but I also know that you are strong and together we will get through this. After all, "For better or for worse." Anyway, I need to talk to you about something very important to me, which will come as a...
Todd Barker and I knew of each other but had never actually met until that Sunday afternoon in late 2008 at the home of a mutual friend. When we did finally meet, it was over a beer. He had known my sister Amanda for five years since they met at college. She had been, from the beginning, one of the few who accepted him, his fag hag. Amanda and I keep no s...
After my gap year between school and University, in which I had met both Steve (“First Fumblings”) and Ollie (“That was Quick”) I became a fresher, had a room in College and joined the College rugby team. Rugby is a tough, physical contact sport requiring courage and specific talents according to where you play on the field. Before a game the changing room i...
Running a club is not easy. You need the right DJ playing the right music, the right lighting and sound systems, the right decoration; all of which will hopefully combine together to attract the punters. What you don't need is druggies, drunks, troublemakers and gays. Not that I have anything personal against gays but they tend to take over any club that t...

Muahh LadyBugg - * I laid down in bed, flipping through the thoughts in my head from the images from the other night. Walking in on him in OUR bed with a dude and a woman set me off edge.

"Edwin Thomas," the ambassador said. "Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Health." The man he was introducing was a tall, gunmetal-skinned man in his early 50s. He was making the introduction because I had recently arrived in this former British colony in the Caribbean and I was a fairly well-known retired farmer and local politician from the UK. I had ac...
