    @Parker Owens Thanks. I wanted the reader to experience not being able to understand me while still being able to read it, hence the struck out words.

    When each sentence is a sentence to oratory purgatory, there’s no violence like silence. When I speak a word and go unheard; when my every utterance is met with, “Can you speak more clearly?” It’s enough to drive me insane. “Can you hear me now?” has become my go-to refrain. I feel less than, cheeks flushed with heat, when I’m asked to repeat my words again and again. Each syllable is a subliminal criminal, a thief of time and energy, making communication shallow and banal, hollow

    Upon logging onto Skype, Mike called Tony and learned the Latin Texan had gone Fang Against Fang with his father. He also mentioned that Kyle was doing so well that the doctors had removed his colostomy bag early, and he was on a regular diet again. “Shit, man. That’s awesome. Tell Kyle I said hey.” “Why don’t you tell him yourself, puta?” Mike side-eyed him hard. “Them's fighting word, cabron. And he’s the last person I wanna to talk to. Not after what he did.” “Miguel, don

    @drsawzall Duly noted. I’m not a gun expert and was going off what I’d seen used in movies like Underworld and Blade.

    Tamir struggled against his brothers to free himself and help Mike. “Let me go, you assholes.” “No can do,” Khalil said. Tamir’s world went dark. When he came to, his limbs were bound with rope and Jahlil drifted around a corner with Pops’ Jeep right on their tail. He tried breaking free, but only succeeded in giving himself gnarly rope burns. “Let me go right now. And since when were you a stunt driver for The Fast and the Furious?” “Busy right now.” Jahlil popped the

    “Get him, Mike. Yeah, you got his ass.” Eric and David cheered from the sidelines as he and Tamir went at it hard and fast, both bloodied and bruised. Tamir dropped under Mike’s guard and caught him with a cheap shot to the balls with his right arm crutch, using the other to stabilize himself. Dropping to his knees, Mike shook it off. But not before Tamir took him to the deck. He tried a side chokehold, but Mike broke free and wrapped arms and legs around Tamir’s throat, initiating a triang

    @drsawzall I’ll give ya a hint: he drives a Jag.

    Tamir and the twins stood at attention when Mike barked, “Ten-hut!” “What gives?” Kyle and the other Soldier Boyz asked, looking stupefied. Kyle’s expression morphed from confusion to betrayal, and he dashed toward Mike. “You bastard!” They squared off. Kyle opened with a right hook and caught Mike on the chin. He shrugged it off and countered with a knee to Kyle’s groin. Falling to his knees, Kyle recovered and lunged for Mike. Tamir got between them, on the verge of tears

    Days bleed into weeks, and soon it was the last week of twelfth grade. Mike stared out his window at Tamir’s house across the way. It was only a few blocks, but it might as well have been a million light years. Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore. Being with the boy he loved was more important than anything, and if it meant taking a beatdown from Pops and the Alphas, then so be it. He was done living in fear. After gassing himself up, he called an emergency meeting of the Soldier Boy

    An intense round of birthday sex with Adam left Tamir cold and empty. Adam threw on his clothes. “Gotta jet, babe.” He kissed Tamir on the cheek and bounced. Tamir reflected on the situation. Lately, Adam never wanted to bottom, or stay and cuddle afterward. And while the sex was awesome, he wanted more than a quick hookup. He wanted to make love. Lost in his thoughts, light from a streetlamp filtered through his window and reflected off Mike’s DVD on his desk, breaking his train

    They continued training at the HOP until the snow made it impossible to traverse the country roads with Mike’s or Tamir’s car and they had to use a local firing range to practice their marksmanship once the HOP became inaccessible. Gradually, they all improved, and even Tamir managed to pass Poseidon’s Deep after several attempts; granted, Mike modified it so Tamir only had to swim a fraction of the distance while carrying a log that weighed twice the twins's. And all three Johnson boys com

    @drsawzall Right. As for the bald man and boy, that will be revealed later on.

    I write to fill the world with all the stories I wish were around when I was a kid, for the joy of playing with words and rhythm, and for those moments when the world falls away and I get caught up in the story.

    The week before Halloween found Tamir and Mike engaged in what his grandpa would call an old-fashioned slobberknocker. Mike’s fist slammed into Tamir’s jaw. “Get up, you pussy.” Tamir staggered to his feet and elbowed Mike in the ribs. He shrugged it off and took Tamir to the deck, bringing his knee down on the younger teen’s throat. “That’s enough!” The twins blew their dog whistles, and when that failed they pulled Mike off their brother and checked on him. Tamir waved them

    When morning came, Mike was the first one up and a million thoughts raced through his head as the events of last night rushed back to him. He and Pinky had kissed and . . . had sex—no, made love. And he’d liked it. Still too hungover to process everything right then, he crept out of Pinky's bed, careful not to wake the beatific boy next to him. After showering, he got his clothes from the dryer and woke Kyle. “Shit. What time is it?” Kyle whined as Mike continued shaking him. “A

    After the fiasco at the party, Tamir told Adam to keep it in his pants for another day, pushed him out his window, and locked it. Why did Mike have to be such an asshole? Sure, he was gay, but was that any reason for Mike to treat him like shit? What happened to all the talk about fraternity and always having his back? Did that go out the window just cause he was into other dudes? And how could Mike claim to love him, yet keep hurting him like this? Yeah, Mike may have given up a lot to pr

    Toxic

    frozenphenix commented on frozenphenix's story chapter in Toxic

    @drsawzall Toxic masculinity and internalized homophobia are a hellish mix. P.S. Marshall will play a key role in getting Mike out of denial and the closet.

    “Men, here’s the situation,” Mike barked. “See girl, want, approach, have. Got it?” Jahlil spotted a nice blonde around his age and approached, but he got blown out in thirty seconds flat. Mike gave him a pep talk and told him to try again, while he took Khalil out into the field. He approached a brunette around Khalil’s age. “Excuse me, my friend here is new and thinks you’re cute, but he’s a little shy.” Mike pointed to Khalil, decked out in a Marylin Manson band tee and holey jeans,

    At the house around the corner, Tamir awoke to Adam kissing him. “Wakey, wakey sleeping beauty.” Adam buried his face in Tamir’s neck and licked until Tamir acknowledged him. They tore their clothes off and Adam rolled into bed behind Tamir and thrust his shaft between the blond’s buns. He stopped for a second to retrieve a condom and lubed up. “You know I’m not into that.” “Come on. Please? I have the hugest case of blue balls.” Tamir always wanted the next time he bottome

    When Mike came home, Kyle was only in a T-shirt and his boxers, forgoing his khaki shorts and polo, kicked back on Mike’s bed. Seeing him, he shook his head. “Is there anything else his majesty requires?” Kyle stuck out his tongue, and they lay back and watched a Simpsons rerun. Mike kicked off his shoes and just when he got comfortable, his phone rang. He sighed seeing it was Amber and picked up after the third ring. Lately she’d been getting extra clingy, calling him four, sometimes
