The main events in this story are true; some literary license has been taken with the narrative. George is a 50ish gay guy and this is coming out story and deals with some of his traumatic life events.

This started as a story for the Grid Game and has gotten bigger.

A short story about an old man and his grandson. History and sharing.

Life can be hard, if you are a young man and disowned by your parents. Your choices are limited, do you do what is necessary to live, even if it goes against every thing you believed in, or do you choose to end it all. Are angels real?

A thirty-six year-old man’s reconnection with his estranged family has an unexpected consequence.

Adam is 14 years old. He isn't sports oriented but happy in his own company. He thus gets a shock when his parents decided how he should spend part of his summer vacation.

For years it was just him and his mother until she got sick and never recovered. His uncle took him in but he still doesn't feel accepted in the pack or by the towns people. He's just a square peg surrounded by round holes. That is until he smells that lovely scent wafting through the forest trees and thats when everything changes.

This story is autobiographical in nature, but I have made some modifications to protect the identities of those included in it. All the names have been changed, and in some cases things such as gender, locations, and sometimes familial compositions have been altered.

All that being said, this is MY truth, and it's time I released it so that I'm free to create from a place other than brokenness and sadness.

This will be dark, but there are spots of light in the great black. No void is truly empty when one gazes into it. The light from our eyes illuminates more than we realize.
