After the Past

Description: Life after the past isn't what most of us dream of, or hope for.

What gave you the idea for this story?

The first chapter was written years ago but there was a push for dystopian stories at the time, so I’m sure I was influenced by those. Most of those stories had very evil overlords who had taken over and controlled others. I just wondered if that was how it would be. I wondered what would likely end most of the human race - war or disease. I chose disease, a virus.

What was your favorite thing about writing this story?

Creating the characters I think and then building their relationships, but most important making sure it felt real.

Please tell us something about this story that is not already in the description.

It’s a love story really. There tough times, sad ones, and ones filled with joy. It’s Dave’s story, his life, and what happens as a result of his humanity, and his choices.

Levko

 

Description: Levko is a rent boy who supports his roommate and pimp, but his life changes one dark night.

What gave you the idea for this story?

My life did. My experience was very much like Lev’s, but how we each ended up are much different.

What was your favorite thing about writing this story?

At the time I wrote this I’d read a few BDSM stories which seemed over-the-top and a little unreal. So I decided to draw from my experience and bring my voice, and take on the subject.

Please tell us something about this story that is not already in the description.

This is really two stories, Lev finds a second life and he also finds the strength to leave one and accept the other.

Delicious

 

Description: Faris and James meet life head-on, together.

What gave you the idea for this story?

It was a prompt. I hadn’t been a member here long when I saw a Prompt #447 – The Gift: You haven’t been feeling well lately, but you still try to keep up with your normal routine. You’ve been asked to a party, and although you don’t feel well, you decide to go. The only request is that as a gift you give something homemade. What do you give as your gift?

What was your favorite thing about writing this story?

Oh, that has to be the two main characters, Faris and James and their dog, Larry. I laughed until I cried writing Delicious. Faris is Scottish, big and sexy and James is slim and slight, and both madly in love with each other. They get up to all sorts of adventures. I wanted to write something funny and I kind of surprised myself in that I managed it. I hope.

Please tell us something about this story that is not already in the description.

There are (so far) 9 separate short stories in this collection featuring these two and their dogs. Stories range from how they met and married, to dealing with rats, birthdays, and illness.

I first read your stories about James and Faris and was instantly in love with the characters.

With "After the past", you brought me near tears at one point as you know, sweet brother of mine.

Levko I have read, and it touched me deeply.

You have a gift! And your writing is a gift to us. Thank you.

I am so looking forward to you next story.

Love Sis

Faris and James... I have a sudden urge to reread Delicious. :) 

 

tim, I'm not sure what I can say that hasn't already been said. Just know, your writing took my breath away the first time I came across your poems nearly two years ago (has it really been that long?) and I wasn't surprised to see your star rise on GA as more and more readers discovered your poems and stories. 

 

Love ya, tim!

Thanks, Drew. yeah 2 years in August.. thanks for the kind words!

Well, this almost slipped right past me. I need to keep a better eye on what's happening around here. Congrats on the spotlight, tim. your writing deserves to be discussed and re-discussed. There is so much variance and complexity in your poetry and stories. I've always felt a connection to you and to your style of writing, which is raw, honest, emotional, and vibrant. Never a dull moment in anything you produce. I think it's safe to say we all look forward to reading much more from you in the future. - Mac
