I set off for work early the next day and stopped for my regular coffee and muffin. I was feeling great, and I said a cheery good morning to Lana. “Nothing good about it,” she said, looking glum. I was concerned. This was out of character for her. “Lana, what’s wrong?” “What’s wrong? I tell you what’s wrong. Broken heart, that’s what’s wrong!” “Who has a broken heart?” I asked. “Me!” she said. “Y

We got Rob into my car and safely back to my apartment. When I wheeled him through the door he said, “Jerome, this is wonderful. The view is magnificent!” “Thanks, I’m really proud of it. I was very lucky to get this place. Let’s get you settled. Is there anything I can get for you? Something to eat or drink?” “Maybe just some water, thanks. I’m afraid I’m bagged from all the excitement of coming here. Would you mind if I lie down for a while?” “Not at all,” I said. “Look, here’s you

Thanks so much for your comments Lisa. Rob tends to be the leader in the relationship.
-
Thanks. Rob, as you will see, has a lot of healing to go through.
-
Thanks for the kinds words. There are 9 chapters total in the story.
-
I'm glad you like it. There's more to come and some twists and turns.
-
Thanks. Jerome is partly autobiographical and party wishful thinking. Rob is patterned after one of my family members.

I left the hospital feeling like I was on a cloud. So happy that my visit had gone well. And I was hopeful that Rob and I could develop a deeper relationship. As I walked home my thoughts turned to Sven, and I thought I’d better tell him the truth. Sooner rather than later. I didn’t have any guarantees with Rob but I knew unequivocally now that Sven wasn’t the right person for me. I dreaded phoning him with the news and decided to take easier course of sending him a “Dear John” email. So

Monday morning. Steve, the sales manager, shot into my office and said, “Listen, Jerry, you’re gonna have that report ready by tomorrow, right?” “Yes, Steve, it’s almost done. And, Steve, when have I ever been late with your report?” “You’re the MAN, Jerry!” and then he disappeared as fast as he’d arrived. There would be no problem getting the report done. There never was a problem getting any report done. I’d lost track of how many reports I’d prepared in the last five years. I could do

Chapter 47 Is This Normal?
Zenith commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Chapter 47 Is This Normal?
I like the way you keep tension in the story with references to Carlsberg, Uncle Ray and Andy's thoughts on running away. Great use of devices to keep us on the edge of our seats -
I was working dayshift when I got a panicked call from Marianne. He father had suffered a serious heart attack. Of course the girls had already been in touch and made plans. They would leave immediately, take the kids, drive the 200 miles to their parent’s town and be at their father’s bedside. Between them and their mom they would manage the kids. They would take the Beemer. Would Paul and I drive up later in the truck? I called Paul at work and he’d already heard about the arrangements

You are such a good writer that I'm totally "in the moment" as I read. You make me FEEL along with Andy and Zander. Very well done. Thanks for sharing this (now) heartwarming story with us!

Paul’s kiss left me dazed and confused. Did Paul like me in “that way?” Or was it simply a friendly gesture from an extroverted guy? I repeatedly touched my neck where he’d kissed me—a spot warmer than the rest of my skin. I was happily infatuated by Paul. But sad too, because I was pretty sure he was straight, and I doubted very much that my strong feelings were reciprocated. When I got home, my mom noticed that I was more withdrawn than usual. She asked me if everything was okay. I touc

The Beatles Chapter 1 First class of the first day of college. Calculus. I stood at the classroom door. Butterflies dancing in my stomach. I wasn’t worried about the class. Hell, I figured I could ace Calculus. I was worried about where to sit. I was racked with indecision. I was early, so I pretty much had my choice of seats. If I sat in the front I’d look like a keener. If I sat at the back I’d look like I wasn’t interested. No, better to sit in the middle. Choose a nice neutra
