With the few customers taken care of, I picked up a rag and proceeded to wipe down the empty tables. I stepped out onto the sidewalk in front of the book store's coffee shop and wiped off the outside tables. Someone had left a newspaper on one of the tables. As I picked it up, the small headline at the bottom of the first page caught my eye: Local Reverend I...
July During the weeks to follow, I spent a lot of time thinking about Dirk. It was clear to me that he didn't really like me much. But that didn't keep him from using me. I continued to straighten his apartment and keep his clothes clean. I was hoping that being around him while I cleaned would result in Dirk being a little nicer to me. As far as Dirk was c...
You wake up and prepare for your day, unaware that this would be the last day you would be considered straight. You shower as you did every morning and felt the water's warm touch as it cascaded over your skin. You could stay here forever if you could. But you need to start your day and the hot water would run out before long. You wash your hair, then the re...
I went to see a movie today, expecting to see Erik at the theater. I assumed he was on break or something because I did not see him at his usual post. I asked somebody at the counter if he was there, they confirmed my suspicions. I told them, "Could you tell him I'm in theater 3 and wanted to say hi." They said they would relay the message. I was satisfie...
I work at a local sex shop and I love it. I get the opportunity to see people at their most vulnerable; I get to help people fulfill their fantasies. Some I get to help with their selection. Last week, a young buck came in wearing a hooded sweatshirt, his hands placed snugly in the front pockets. He was nervous, pacing around the store and sweating bullets....
"Table for two," the server led two attractive men to a secluded table. "So, how was your flight?" "Good. It's nice to be back in the dirty South" the blond guy smiled and blushed - the dark haired guy returned a smile and shifted his leg forward to rub against him. "Can I bring you something to drink?" The server returned momentarily with the blond's req...
He approached me as i stood against the grey stone wall of a Chinatown building. “Do you smoke?” he asked. He was cute: built strong, with wide dark eyes, cornrows, and a firm jaw, square hands. i smiled a little and said, “Smoke what?” “C!” he said. i swear he called it “c.” i shrugged my shoulders. The truth was that i never had. All the drugs i had don...
*This chapter was a bit disturbing even for me, and i cried a bit while i was writing it. all characters are 18+ I don't think anyone will enjoy this chapter, except maybe the end, but be cheerful, good things will come, for this is not the last chapter, but the penultimate one.* * I woke up in a room that was cold, and pitch black...and I wasn't alone....
My name's Tamerlane, but most people in the know called me Tam. I was one of few functioning mages in the New England area. I didn't advertise it, because I didn't live on it. I worked as a typical office drone in a Fortune 500 company. Boring, but paid the bills. Everyone there knew I was gay. They also knew that outside of work, I was a huge and harmless f...
In the year that I had just turned 18, I had come to high school a religious zealot, heavy with the residual dogma of my former private Christian school's teachings. The world outside those modest (but not so humble) walls was a heathen, blasphemous devil's playground full of sinners who lived in unholy ignorance. I was disposed of the school a warrior in th...
