I was stopped on the street recently by a local YouTuber who wanted to know if I was into asian men. His shoulder bumped mine as he got himself into the shot with me, rudely targeting me with the selfie camera on his phone. I watched the tiny version of myself flounder for a few seconds. (Those weren't his exact words. The question he asked was: "Would you...
Chapter Twenty-Seven -- The Mother Of All Misunderstandings Aidan was on cloud number nine. It wasn't only because Heath had been adamant about keeping him awake half the night -- actually, that made him feel a bit wasted -- and not even because of the shared love confession from the day before. It was because, simply put, everything in his life was falli...
There was this strange flier under my door when I got home from work. It looked like an advertisement for some Gay circuit party or club. "Build Your Bear" was across the top in big bold letters, with a hairy muscle stud underneath in just a jock, his arms crossed with a friendly smile on his scruffy face. I couldn't find an address or phone number on the...
The Hitchhiker It had been snowing all day. A wet, heavy incessant snow that was covering everything including the highway. Combined with a wind-chill factor in the teens, Christopher was almost frozen stiff. He was elated when the huge semi pulled over to pick him up. He climbed up into the cab and smiled thankfully at the driver. "Thanks a lot mister. I...
Marc pulled his suitcase into the parlor of Waverton with his eyes firmly on the Turkish rugs. Unable to manage a glance up at the carved grand staircase he had been thinking about for two months, he shuffled across the carpets towards the front desk.

Avery crunched the numbers over again but each time he did, it kept coming up the same, the money just wasn't there. Renting the warehouse was going to break them. Trash hadn't even considered the cost of utilities in his estimates. He didn't take into account buying furniture, even if it was used. "We wouldn't need much." He told Avery, "Maybe a couch, a ta...
I froze in shock, not wanting to believe what I was seeing. This had to be some sort of sick stupid joke my best friend was playing on me. I pulled my eyes away from his chest and looked him in the eyes, seeing tears and shame on his face. Anger surged through me like a bolt of lightning, feeling betrayed and a little stupid. I couldn't help myself, I sa...
Dreams are shared. Matt and Liam continue to get to know each other. Thanks, as always, to LarryInSeattle for his editing assistance. ======= "Is today Wednesday?" "No, Tuesday. Hard to keep track of the days in here. Not that unusual," Kent replies. Matt is sitting on a chair. His hair is pulled back in a ponytail. His tee shirt is dark with sweat and...
My first literary effort in non-native language. Please, have mercy, though constructive criticism is always appreciated. Story hardly has any value, but I had fun writing it and that's what counts. * »Oh oh oh, you HAVE to tell me all about it!« Nina's eyes got a twinkle as she rolled over in her bed on her stomach and looked at me. »Tell you what?« I...
