One of the if not the most powerfully written stories I've ever read. You took a young man's infatuation and turned it into the turmoil of death, heartbreak, and the guilt of living after your reason for being alive is gone. Such a lot of emotion in one so young. His pain is with him forever.
What a wonderful take on the Anthology and great writing, Rob. Thank you for sharing.
When I read stories like this one and probably many more of the Anthologies this time, I find it impossible to say, "I love it." Your writing is great. You took the theme and made your mark with it, letting it overflow with pain and sadness that completely defines "scars". It's just hard to love such things that we know go on everyday in this crazy world. Thanks for sharing and as always, "great writing."
When I go shopping or whatever, I try to find the hubby a new dvd to watch. It's been like hunting a needle in a haystack lately. He'd wonder what I was thinking if I brought him the new releases. It's a chore to find a good movie. I actually found a great m/m movie on Netflix, and he loved it. It was not all sex as much as it was a great storyline a good characters. He was absorbed in all of it. That's why I hate for people to view Gay movies as and 'in the box' thing. There's a lot of meaning and enjoyment out there. Also come great comedy. I saw him perusing the other gay movies and he even watched 'Yossi" but said it was too sad for him. He's an action guy
Did I tell you how happy I was to see another story from you? It's a great one at that. The guys seem in such harmony to be a threesome. Most of the time someone would feel like a third wheel. They have a relationship to be envied. Of course Hannibal has a mind of his own. Now, I'm wondering who is going to grab Jeff's interest?
BTW, I thought it was sweet that the guys asked Jeff to stay another night. Very thought of them and the author.
My heart hurt for Jeff, but you humor in the chapter was right on. I loved when he called Hannibal a bastard. It was so funny. And of course, your beginning sounded just like an old married couple. I'm wondering how much time has lapsed. I'm sure it'll be somewhere. Great beginning. Thank you.
