They were camped near the top of the ridge in a meadow, just below the forest line. Niu had said he wanted to be high up whenever he could be. He was standing there looking out over the thousands of cook fires and tents spread across the meadow when Shun, carrying the supplies for both of them, managed to trudge up the hillside from the road below. "I wonde...
I loved my winter weekend days with Brad. He would rise early and shower while I slept. By the time I awoke and showered, he would have a nice blaze going in the fireplace, the curtains wide open to let in the light, and a big soft blanket laid out in front of the fire. I would come out to the living room to find him waiting for me, his body glistening with...
Journal entry: July 5th, 1979 How has it come to this? I always thought I knew what I was capable of. And yet here I am planning this. Have I gone slightly mad and no one thought to tell me? Why have none of my friends clued me in? Freddie, Brian, Roger, John ... where were you guys when this insanity began to take hold of me? Why did not one of you tell me...
"Merry Solstice, Uncle Scribner!" "Merry Christmas, nephew!" "But the solstice is tomorrow, and it would please me to no end if you would join us for the local queer people's Yuletide pageant and party at the old union hall tomorrow afternoon." The youth with the perpetual twinkle in his hazel eyes was determined to say his peace before the salt and pepper...
I am fully aware that this concept is overdone, however, I wanted to write this and so I did. Enjoy, and if you don't, send me hate mail :) I have a another part I might upload at a later time, if there's interest. lmk * Part One "You know, that's not how you do that, Benj." I hold back my irritated growl towards my best friend. Of course I knew that, no...
Search And Rescue The pod waits, gathered upon the sand of a peaceful bottom. Two Capricorns remained by their side as they circled around them protectively, keeping vigilant of the possible dangers that might come up. Syrinx groans internally as the time drags on. Where are the others? Half of the pod is still missing. Are they dead? Are they still fighti...
Just hours ago, Al and Andy were best friends out riding around. While each knew everything there was to know about the other, Andy did not realize that tonight, he would become closer to Al than he ever imagined. Al, on the other hand, had planned this evening for a long time. His ultimate hope was to seal not just his desire to be intimate with Andy, but h...
'MORE FROM THE LEGEND OF THE HOUSE OF SHAME' To counter the fear I find myself thinking regretfully of Ian. Wondering, what if I've offended him? Would it really have hurt so much to have indulged him, just a little? And there's the teasing element of sneaking curiosity as I lie there, still tensed, toying with myself. Bluntly I find myself wondering how bi...
Hayden sat in the doctors' waiting room with his limp arm hanging by his side. He was 21 years old and had just returned to baseball after a break due to injury. The knee reconstruction meant that he didn't have the centre fielder's legs that he had when he was 17 but this new coach had thrown him on the mound at training and Hayden had impressed enough to g...
When I woke up I felt dizzy and disoriented. Last thing I remembered was that I had approached Sami, the loser from high school, at the bar and though we had barely seen each other ever since I left for college I knew he would never forget me. He was nervous when I suggested he should invite me a drink for old times' sake since I was back in town for the sum...
