Thank you sir for your kind words and recommendation - this is encouragement indeed, and much appreciated.

This short story draws a lot on my own personal experiences, you might say it is very close to the heart.

I did actually ask my father what the word 'homosexual' meant, I was eleven years old (not thirteen) at the time. So that part is absolutely true as is the response he gave. The incident on the bus, seeing a boy my age one morning on the way to school is also true. Only it wasn't an epiphany. It happened when I was thirteen and already knew I was gay.

The photo is not at all a personal photo, but I did have a crush on a boy at school: doesn't everybody? It wasn't that serious, but he was very cute, and I was upset when he left the school and his family emigrated to Perth, in Australia.

I tried to write the narrative using the language of a thirteen year old. I wanted to describe some of those moments that are so important in your life that you remember them forever.

One does remember his crushes, and the strong, sometimes overwhelming emotions they generated.  Good memories.

Especially when the crush is someone who is inaccessible.
