LUKE Yeah, so we're picking up where I left Dad to go for a shower, right? Remember? If not, go back and check. So, the most embarrassing thing just happened, and I need to get it off my chest. If you don't mind? I mean, because, It's not something I can tell my Dad, obviously... you'll find out why. I can't tell Lee either because, firstly, he's disappeared from the face of the planet, and second, he'd be grossed out by it. So you're probably thinking, why don't I tell Taz? Well, t

Haha, perfect choice. I see why.

I think there must have been a software glitch at the time. I'm not sure Raven, sorry

Thank you Raven, I'm so glad I made the scene feel real and compressed. It is a terribly depressing place Heidgate. Thanks for this, and all your other comments on Purity. I look forward to hearing what you think as you read on James

Indeed. Not the best news to get, hey.

Leander My consultant rolled into my room with a clipboard in hand and a sombre look on his face. I think I knew what was coming! "So we've had the results back from the scan and X-rays we did Leander, and erm... well, there is no easy way to say this, but it's unlikely you'll walk again. I'm sorry, I know you told me you didn't want the result dressed up." "Ever?" I asked, feeling a little numb. "As I say, it's unlikely, I'm sorry. The lower spinal injury is quite se

Sounds like you have quite the experience Gary. It must have been a lot of fun looking back?

I've read all the comments above and I could not agree more. I have lived my life around people of all ages, young and old. I'm also really close to my Grandad. I would say I enjoy older people's company actually, and that's just because they have more life experience. Whether that be advice for me or telling a story. I love hearing stories about the war from my Grandad, he was 9 by the time it ended and he has told me some absolutely fascinating stories. However I digress. I do think that perhaps some people who are in their 40's and 50's probably bailk at the freedoms young gay people have these days. I also think there probably is a little bit of envy in all of us that we are not 19, 20, 21 anymore. It was nice to be that age, and even nicer if you were attractive. We often mark ourselves down in attractiveness but it's about what others think of you. And, you know, yes, we can't kid ourselves (if we do) that it's all about personality because it's not. It is nice to be around good looking people. And it's nice to BE a good looking person. But trying to force it is doubly unattractive, As I found out with my freind.

So I'm standing in front of my full-length mirror in my bedroom. It's one of those ones you can tilt back and forward. I'm pitching it right now, trying my best to get the most attractive version of myself the reflection. I'm going out tonight with the boys. Grand Beck, the place is called. It's a seedy gay club that's required a refurb since God was a boy, but it's a place where I can usually pick up some 'chicken' and chuck him out the following morning. On my bed in the one-bedroom

WOW!! lol, what a plotline. I'm really not in a position to say anything at this point

Wow, great review on the chapter Summer, really glad you enjoyed it. You made me blush when I read such nice comments. Thank you. I am always learning and hoping to improve each book I write. I'm really made up when I get feedback like this. James

LMFAO!!!!

Who is Dean? haha You reading too many books at once Chris

Awww, I loved this comment. the ending was so positive lol.

Thank you very much for that

I had a big wobble at the hospital. Can you explain to me why, because I don't know why it happened? After my out-of-order comment to Duke, I phased out for a few minutes. Then, once I had gotten three bottles of juice from the vending machine, I stood still, staring at the wall, somewhere far away inside myself. I just thought about everything. But what does thinking about everything mean? Everything means very little, really. But how the hell I had got here was at least one th

Thanks Gerry, next chapter soon, I promise haha.

I'm really not in a position to say anything. I wish I had the answers 🤔

Yeah that came up straight away along with the meaning!

Just noticed some ropey grammar and punctuation at the start. It's been corrected. How terrible it was seeing that! 😮

grifter /ˈɡrɪftə/ Learn to pronounce noun INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN a person who engages in petty or small-scale swindling. "I saw him as a grifter who preys upon people" I had to look this up LOL 😩

Thank you for the comments Leo

Sunday. Time unknown - Luke I'd gone to bed about eight forty and slept through till the early morning. I had not done that since I was sixteen. Of course, that being an age when I never wanted to get out of bed, no matter the time. Swinging my legs over the side of the bed, I sat up and looked at my phone. No messages. The usual morning wood was prominent, and I did think about it; honestly, I did, but I had this unease that was starting to filter in as it always d

Some animals you inherently wish to kill because of the way they look and the sounds they make. You describe this perfectly. However we are an irrational species. For instance, when I was pre-teen I used to kill all spiders I saw (like you with birds, not having a fondness for them). However in later life I was educated that spiders are good for the planet and do a lot of good. I therefore look at them differently now, and have never killed once since (intentionally) People often think that about me too I've had comments from people in real life and on here in fact that I do not look like a gentle person. In fact when I was drunk one night, and having a laugh with a few friends years ago an Old women said I looked like the typical Thug! And here I am writing gay love stories. LOL. It takes all sorts to make a world. And although I may look like something, does not make it so.

Funny, in my mind I can see this happening HAHA!!
