Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Paging Trevor Austin - Trevor by Altimexis Things were a lot more orderly getting ready for work on Tuesday morning. For one thing, we decided to stagger our wake-up times, so rather than all our cell phones going off at once, they went off sequentially at five-minute intervals - first mine, then Kurt’s, then David’s and finally Jeremy’s - so we weren’t tripping over each other quite so much in the bathroom. Keepin

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope A Day at the White House - David by Altimexis I groaned at the sound of four different alarms on four different cell phones all going off at the same time. There had to be a better way. Pulling myself out of bed, I stretched to my full six-foot, four-inch height and then some, and then I realized - first of all, I was naked in a room I was sharing not only with my wonderful boyfriend, but with two other gay

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Dodging Scandal - Jeremy by Altimexis Looking at her motionless form, I could tell that Will’s girlfriend was a beautiful woman, but she looked anything but beautiful, sprawled out on his bed, lying in her own vomit. Trevor checked her neck for a pulse while he simultaneously listened for the sound of breathing. “She’s alive, but barely,” he said. “Maybe we should try CPR,” Kurt suggested. “If she’s go

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Political Mayhem - Will by Altimexis “Good morning, sweet-stuff,” my girlfriend said to me as my eyes fluttered open, the sunlight streaming into the small one-bedroom apartment we were subletting in the Watergate complex. My parents were paying a fortune for it, I knew, but I would have been happy with a tiny belowground dive on Capitol Hill, just to be here in the District, as they called it. Being ‘Inside th

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Summer School - Sammy by David of Hope It hadn’t been long after we got back ta school after spring break, when I was at school havin’ lunch with my best friends - Brad, Cliff, an’ Paul. Naturally, we was talkin’ about our favorite subject - girls - what else. We were bein’ kinda quiet ’cause we didn’t want the others in the lunchroom to hear what we were sayin’ about ’em. “That’s interesting fellas,” the voice

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Under the Weather - Cliff by Altimexis It’d been a few weeks since Linda and I had been goin’ out. She and I have a lot in common. We’ve both been seen more than our share of life’s hardship for kids our age. Me, well, I lost my parents when I was ten, then got put in a group home, then in foster care, and just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, I got sent to a Christian Camp for the summer. Not that the

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope A Brother’s Interference - Trevor by Altimexis “Are you sure you want to take this on, Brad?” I asked my good friend’s brother as we discussed his idea for establishing GSAs in each of the district’s three middle schools. “This is a major undertaking we’re talking about. You’ve already got a lot on your plate as a member of the student council, and eighth grade is already enough of a pressure cooker.” “I kno

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Bringing Up Brother - David by Altimexis “Jer, slow down!” I shouted as we accelerated around a tight curve on Allisonville Road. “You’re going close to eighty miles an hour!” “Relax, Dave,” my boyfriend shouted back to me over the sound of the wind rushing by. “The speed limit’s sixty, so I’m not speeding by that much.” It had only been a week since Jeremy got his license, and as a present for his sixtee

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Political First Focus - Kurt by Altimexis I didn’t think I’d ever been so nervous in my life. What the fuck was I doing here? Me, Kurt DeWitt, an ordinary, fifteen-year-old gay teenager, and here I was, sitting in the office of our state’s junior senator. God, I wish Trevor could have been here with me, but he had his own crisis to deal with. As president of our high school’s GSA, Trevor often got calls to help

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Prologue - Junior Politics - Will by Altimexis What a life! Here I was, a college freshman at the University of Chicago, studying Pre-law, and living in a gorgeous high-rise condo that my parents bought me, right on Lakeshore Drive. I had a spectacular view of Lake Michigan that afforded me the most incredible sunrise views imaginable . . . not that I was ever up early enough to see the sun rise, mind you. Y

Spring Break A Naptown Tales Novella by Altimexis & David of Hope Epilogue - The Parents’ Pride - Rob Lindsey and I were propped up in bed going over our company’s financials. The firewall breach in our largest client’s operation, as with so many things, had turned out to be a simple matter, but with far reaching consequences. In a cost-cutting move, the client had taken it upon themselves to install their own third party printer drivers rather than purchasing upgrades from the manuf

Spring Break A Naptown Tales Novella by Altimexis & David of Hope Remembering a Perfect Journey - Jeremy I really hated to see our spring break coming to an end, but so much had happened on our trip and we’d gotten to see and do so much, so in a way I was really looking forward to getting home. It really was great of my parents to foot the bill for so much of the trip. It sucked they were too busy to spend much time with Cliff and me, but they never, ever hesitated to spend money on

Spring Break A Naptown Tales Novella by Altimexis & David of Hope Lost and Found - Kurt Trevor and I were enjoying a leisurely float in a paddleboat on the tidal basin when Trevor’s cell phone suddenly went off. “I wonder what that could be about,” he said as he pulled his phone off his belt clip and answered it. “You found Paul where?” I heard Trev ask. “He was alone? What was he doing over there, all by himself? Really! With another group . . . and fawning over a girl . . . a gi

Spring Break A Naptown Tales Novella by Altimexis & David of Hope The Art of Friendship - Sammy Spendin’ spring break with my best friend, Paul, an’ my foster brother, Trevor, on a trip in Washington, D.C. was like a dream come true. Tuesday dawned bright an’ sunny, so I woke up kinda early. Lookin’ over at Paul, sleepin’ so peaceful, I couldn’t help but feel so lucky ta be where I was. Just last year I was lucky ta be home with my mom when she wasn’t strung out on crack, an’ even th

Spring Break A Naptown Tales Novella by Altimexis & David of Hope Our Trip Begins - Cliff Sometimes it’s hard to stop thinking about what was. When I lived with my parents, things were happy. Sitting here on this jet, flying to Washington D.C. with my friends reminded me of the time my folks took to me to Disney World - I guess I was eight. What a great holiday that was! Doc says it’s OK to remember the good stuff. My buddy Sammy, sitting here beside me, sees him too. Doc’s our ‘h

Spring Break A Naptown Tales Novella by Altimexis & David of Hope Planning the Trip - Trevor “Hey Trevor!” Sammy said briskly as I opened one eye to see him smiling at me from my bedroom door, just opened enough for me to see his head sticking through the opening. It looked like his head was floating there in mid-air and I started laughing, still snuggled under my comforter. “The shower’s free bro . . . go for it.” “Here I come,” I said still laughing as I threw back the comforter

Spring Break A Naptown Tales Novella by Altimexis & David of Hope Prologue - A Father's Idea - Rob I was just dozing off. Warm, comfortable, cozy; Lindsey was spooned into me; my arm resting on her hip; her comfortable softness allowing me to drift into a remembrance of our many contented nights of happiness together. I knew if I relaxed just one more level, the comfort of happy dreams would be swarming forth as my subconscious mind smothered the reality of my thoughts. “Rob . . .

So Close and Yet So Far A Naptown Tale by Altimexis Fear. It’s hard to describe what it’s like to always live in fear. I’ve lived with fear for so many years that it’s hard to remember what it was like to not live in fear. Yes, I know there was a time when my childhood was happy and carefree, but that seems so long ago. Was that little girl really me? Technically, I was still a girl, but at seventeen, I would soon be an adult. Finally, I was a senior in high school. In only eight months,

Sammy thought surviving years of abuse was bad enough, until he was repeatedly raped, but even that didn't prepare him to deal with the knowledge that he was now HIV-positive.

Positive A Naptown Tale by Altimexis “Oh man, she’s hot,” my best friend, Paul said. “She’s gotta be an eight.” “Are you kiddin’ me?” I asked. “She hardly has any tits, man. I’d give her a five . . . maybe a six at best.” “Yeah, but she’s prolly only a sixth grader,” my friend countered. “Give her another year. . . . They’ll grow.” “Like she’d be interested in you anyway,” I laughed. Suddenly, Paul got a hurt look on his face, like he might cry or somethin’. “Aw Paul, I didn’

Summer Camp A Naptown Tale by Altimexis Summer camp was a blast! I was having a wonderful time. I probably hadn’t had this much fun since I was a little kid, and I wasn’t even one of the campers - I was here as a volunteer although I wasn’t any older than some of the campers. It was a short summer this year because Labor Day was on September first, and I was giving up all of it to help out at the camp, but damn, was I having fun! A lot had happened during the last year, since Mom and Dad
