  1. Seeing that I am currently studying World War 2 as told through Japanese history and point of view, I am loving this. If anyone listens to Podcasts, Hardcore History is one of my favorites with Dan Carlin. 

    Very nice.

  2. I can't stand to read pieces like this yet I can't help myself. All too tragic and heartbreaking. Especially knowing that if the powers that be wouldn't have labeled it as the gay disease, we might have saved thousands. Written well, imagery is vivid, and tragically all to real.

  3. I have done similar things in my past...except I never had sex with any of them. There was this homeless kid that I would occasionally allow to crash at my apartment, take a shower, wash his clothes, have some food. Though he was upfront and more than willing to "pay" for his visits, I never took him up on the offer. 

    those were more interested times for this weirdo

  4. I am going to get political...gingers are hot!  

    And seeing as I married an Indian born in Malaysia, I tend to think brown is a beautiful color as well.

    But then I think all colors are beautiful...except blue and red. Not beautiful colors at all. (my political statement)

  5. So many friends in the early nineties disappeared so fast.

    To this day, the young people that work for me ask me what it was like back then, and sometimes I can't say anything but frightful. Unless you lived through it, much like what I imagine war would be like, you can't make someone else understand. Tragic in so many ways.

  6. It was summer, June 2000, when Greg and Mark first met on Lake Walton. Each summer after that, they would join their families for a summer vacation before parting ways for another year. It was summer, June 2000, Greg and Mark were five years old. 

    June, 2000

    "What are you doing Greg?"

    "Nothing, just go back to sleep, sorry."

    "If you keep snuggling me, I'm not going to sleep over here anymore."

    June 2005

    "Greg...what are you doing?"

    "Nothing."

    "It sure doesn't feel like nothing."

    "Just go back to sleep, Mark."

    "If you keep rubbing up against me, I'm not going to come back here next year."

    June 2010

    "Damn it, Greg."

    "What now?"

    "If you keep dry humping me when I'm asleep, I'm not coming back here again."

    June 2012

    "Jesus Christ, Greg."

    "Yes."

    "If you don't stop doing that with your mouth under the covers, I'm not coming back here again."

    June 2015

    "Oh Jesus, Greg!"

    "You like that?"

    "If you ever stop attacking me in my sleep, then I'll never come back here ever again."

     

  7. I have duel opinions about The Acquittal and its sequel, The Spaces Between Us.

    It is rather fast paced, and has some endearing characters with a plot that mostly kept my attention, at least in the first story. But on the other hand, its filled with overused tropes that does get a bit old rather quickly for me. I won't get into them as it would definitely be spoilers, though I bet most of you would see them coming a mile away.  Its also partially set in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, my home town. But if you're from there, you know the author has never been there but that's not important. My main issue is a few chapters in once I started reading the second story where I lost the drive to continue to read. Though the author is definitely better than I'll ever be, I just couldn't go on and I walked away from the story.

    I think if the author would have stopped when the first story ended, I would have a different opinion of this saga.

    That being said, you won't be angry at yourself if you read this, it just wasn't for me.

  8. This is a great take on the same prompt that inspired me.  But unlike Trab, I liked the original ending.  Life sometimes ends on a down note, and I think it’s more poignant how you originally wrote it.
     

    great writers take unexpected twists that are bold and unpredictable.  It’s powerful imagery that ends, such was the life that tried to help a human.  I loved it.

    And Jason has the chutzpah to say he lacks my creativity.  Read this story and you'll shake your head as I did.

    Great stuff!

    You are way too kind. I wasn't sure if it was any good, i've never tried to write something so short and twisted.

    And Camy, I'm Howling Rimbaud?  I love it.   

     

    Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Its nice to have my feet wet again with a story.
