Cynus - Stories

Across the pool is a boy that I remember from my childhood. A boy that I remember hating for being gay, among other reasons. But I also remember how I came to love him and discover new things about myself.

Seth McAllister is lonely and in search of a best friend, and Logan Whitmore seems to be just the man for the job. But suspicions run rampant as Seth begins to wonder if his new found friend isn't too good to be true.

Monsters have banded together and overthrown the most powerful governments in the world. Infrastructure crumbled, and the world was torn apart by war. Tristan Langster and his two brothers are among the many young people trying to survive in a dangerous world. Tristan's life changes when he is captured by the North Wer Alliance for crimes he did not commit.

After the brutal loss of several of their number, the remnants of the Icarus Confederacy attempt to pick up the pieces. A mysterious dream points Tristan in a new direction, and what was once thought lost may still yet linger.

After the defeat of the one of the Icarus Confederacy's enemies, and hurting from the loss of one of their own, the Confederacy returns home to regroup. Despite their need for respite, the war isn't over yet.

Autobiographical in nature, some chapters told through an attempt at a chiasmus. My thoughts and feelings on life, based upon my own experience.

Reading chapters in order is unnecessary.

Logan, Seth, and Grayson wake up to a nasty surprise. Someone has pictures of them kissing, and the trio must find out who the mysterious someone is in order to discover what they really want.

Gabriel Montgomery has been granted access to a magic spell to summon the devil on Halloween and make a deal for his heart's desire. No desire is greater than the one he hold's for his straight best friend Brandon. Will he sell his soul for lust?

This story is autobiographical in nature, but I have made some modifications to protect the identities of those included in it. All the names have been changed, and in some cases things such as gender, locations, and sometimes familial compositions have been altered.

All that being said, this is MY truth, and it's time I released it so that I'm free to create from a place other than brokenness and sadness.

This will be dark, but there are spots of light in the great black. No void is truly empty when one gazes into it. The light from our eyes illuminates more than we realize.
