    Secret Author Contest-Forbidden Is... Revealed? Nooooo.

    By Cia

    Ha! Did you think it was time to share the stories and authors? No!! Total clickbait. Heehee! That's right, time to vote on your favorite! Now, to be fair, it would be ideal to have read ALL the stories. Can you vote without having read them? YES! Because this is about your favorite use of our theme of Forbidden Knowledge that you read in this year's Secret Author Forbidden Knowledge stories. Pick a SINGLE title, this isn't your top three. It doesn't even have to be your favorite overall st

Busted chapter 69

It took Joe seven minutes to make the drive, and they were the longest seven minutes of his life. A half block away from Chris' house he threw his car in neutral, cut the engine, and coasted into Steve's driveway. It was probably pointless, but he didn't want any noise to give away his presence.   There was a car in Chris' driveway, a blue Jetta he didn't recognize. It had New Mexico plates, and seemed vaguely familiar.   Joe grabbed his keys and eased himself out of the car. He left the do

Busted chapter 68

[This one's a bit more ragged than I'd like. The shouty bits don't hang together as well as I want 'em to. Damn this 'no sleep' thing anyway...]   Joe was trying to bring himself to eat dinner when his cell rang. He'd picked up Chinese on the way back to the hotel, but his stomach just wasn't up to it. The food sat, cloyingly sweet sauces congealing as it cooled. The suite was filled with the smell of overcooked pineapple and garlic.   The day had been pretty much a total loss

Unbearable

Well today I had enough.....my cousin James has crossed a line that I don't think he can uncross. I actually started this blog entry by saying that I wanted to have him jumped, but I'm not going there right now because I'm so angry with him that I'm afraid I'd go through with it. This moron has his own apartment, but for some reason, he keeps sleeping at home in his old room and I think he's doing it to make me crazy. He has something smart to say about everything I do, and if he doesn't get h

I can sleep now

*props eyes open with toothpicks* I'm going to say this and then I am going to bed.   I FINISHED AN ENTRY FOR THE SPRING ANTHOLOGY!   I had absolutely given up. I really struggled with the theme for various reasons, mostly emotional. Really didn't think I would manage to write ANYTHING. God knows, I had tried. I have about 20 documents in Word that are aborted attempts at that "Endings and Beginnings" topic.   So tonight I said goodnight to Rob, whom I was talking to on MSN, and went

Keys, Rings, and other Things.

I had a fun day off yesterday. I went to the gym with a friend then we had lunch and went shopping. Anyway after the shopping we were heading back to my truck when all of a sudden I realize I don't have my keys. So I turn to her and say "I don't have my keys". After freaking out with me a bit, she checks her pockets and exclaims, "I don't have mine either!".   SO after thinking a bit she decides she must have left hers at the gym, and I conclude that mine are locked in the truck. No wor

[Mmmm, remorse!]   Chris took his glasses off and rubbed his eyes. He'd spent the whole day Friday either on the phone or digging into police databases. He hadn't anything to show for it but a headache and some vague offers for people to call him back. It wasn't enough

April 5th

So my cousin called this evening while I was at work and left a voice mail. Turns out she's going to be in Houston on April 5th because her bestfriend's parents recently moved here and so she's riding with her to go and visit them. Anyway naturally she wants to meet up.   Now my cousin and I were really close as kids. We were sorta like brother and sister (but were both only children). Anyway we've seen less and less of each other as we've gotten older, and particularly in the last four

[This is longer than it actually seems, since there's a lot of missing non-dialogue. And Snuffles makes an appearance courtesy of very clever readers. Thanks guys!]   When Chris got back to the station he found the place in a buzz.   "What's going on?" he asked Steve.   Steve gave him a cold glare. Chris flinched, but not much. He'd been beating himself up the whole drive back to the station, and there wasn't much Steve could do to make him feel any worse.   "Yes, fine, I f**ked up," Chr

Busted chapter 65

Thursday morning Chris was in a foul mood. He'd half-hoped that Joe would be at the house when he got home Wednesday. Maybe Joe would bitch him out the way he deserved, he could apologize, and they could work something out. The possibility of make-up sex occurred, though he wasn't sure he was ready for that, even if Joe hadn't been hurt.   Joe hadn't been there, of course. Toby had cheerfully let him know that he and Aunt Mary had dropped him off at his apartment, then asked when his new Daddy

Forgive me if none of this makes sense because I'm beyond drunk right now. I have played so many games of beer pong that I can't remem ber the number that I've gone through.   Anyway, today was the first time that Iv'e flat out asked a guy if he was gay. It's a long story, but the short version is: he's gay and interested in me (or so the last time I checked which was last night). Well I was very interested in him and we had a date planned for tonight where we were just going to watch a mo

Paint It Black

Today was a pretty good day I suppose. I finally got all my tax troubles sorted out. See it all started over a week ago when I casually decided I'd drop by H&R Block on my way home from something and get my taxes done. I figured it'd be like an hour, standard fee, and I'm good to go...Well...NO! It took two hours and the fee the guy quoted me was outragiously high! We were in fact both in agreement that the fee was inordinately high so he told me to come back tomorrow and in the meantim

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

This is okay

We went to visit my mother yesterday and she was okay, just a little off center. She actually recognized the wife, something she hasn't done since the episode that put her in the nursing home. Then she said I could sell my house and move into hers since I'm still off work and am having a bit of a financial struggle. I said everything is okay and I don't need to move back to the family home.   Today, my son went up to visit and take the items on her shopping list. She thought he was me. He said

Busted chapter 64

[Kind of a transition chapter. And setup for the future. The guys have been nudging for a vacation. It feels like a good spot for a plateau, before we race into the finish]   Thursday morning Joe woke up and felt like hell. His left arm was stiff, his shoulder hurt like hell, and his whole body ached. The hotel bed had been fine as hotel beds went, but it wasn't his, and it wasn't Chris'. Not that he was going to end up in Chris' bed again. The closest he came was Snuffles. It wasn't the same.

if being a genius is hereditary....

... then that only further proves my point that I *must* know everything! Just kidding   So it's been a while. I've been awfully busy with parent teacher conferences, and report cards. and awards assemblies, and Rich's recovery, and editing for the anthology, and writing for the anthology,and working, and family visiting...   The kids are on spring break for 3 weeks and my son is sick Tony is home this week for spring break and we went to Disneyland yesterday.

Joe stood on the sidewalk of his apartment complex and waved at Toby as Mary pulled away. It hurt, watching them go. It was the last time he was going to see Toby. He had a lump in his throat he couldn't get rid of, and it was all he could do to keep from crying. It was better this way, though.   He'd been honest when he told Chris he wasn't going to hide. But Chris had been honest with him, too, at the hospital. He wasn't Joe's boyfriend. And that had hurt. It was a really shitty day when the

Happy 60th Birthday, Elton!

Today marks Elton John's 60th birthday, and he's "still standing" better than he ever did. He is playing a special celebratory concert at Madison Square Garden tonight, which will be streamed live on MSN Music at 8:30 PM. Here is the link in case anyone reads this in time and wants to catch it (although it should be available for at least a few days afterwards for anyone who wants to see it, and there will probably be a DVD, too):   http://music.msn.com/eltonjohn?GT1=7704&   I had a p

Beautiful Boys

The purpose of this entry is to poke fun at the highly superficial behaviour, and fleeting attractions, which often characterizes those who frequent gay dance clubs, while also serving the duel purpose of being a stylistic exercise in writing. The events depicted in this blog entry did indeed occur, but are likely exaggerated as a result of the tenuous position memory holds against fantasy.   They were playing yet another techno version of some forgettable pop-hit as I stepped onto the dancef

What to do

One of the sites I post stories at, storywrite.com, is full of a lot of different authors...not just gay or straight. There's seperate story and poetry sites there, too, and I really enjoy posting there. One of the features of the site that drew me in was the story contests that people can put on. The prizes are points, and after you've built up a certain amount of points, you can have your own contest. I won Silver in one of them and grabbed honorable mention in another. So I figured I'd enter

Steve was quiet the whole drive back to the station. That worried Chris. When Steve was quiet it was a sign he was thinking, and Chris really didn't want him thinking about Joe. That was something Chris himself was trying not to do, not that he was managing it.   He'd really f**ked up at the hospital. He knew that. Joe had needed him and he'd pulled away. Need might've been a strong word; Joe clearly could take care of himself. Chris was sure he didn't really need him. Still, he'd seen the hur
