Stories

poems written when I was 21 years old

Terry feels different. As a kid, he felt isolated and cut off from both family and friends. Later in life, he has an encounter with another man, which changes everything. His boss sees he's fallen in love, but what does that mean? The stranger in his life touched him in ways he doesn't understand. This is his story of awakening.

This is a story based on Friday's prompts and Billy Joel's song 'Piano Man'. There will be no rummaging around in past prompt themes. Every time something triggers the plot bunnies to jump, I'll write a new chapter. Therefore, there might be weeks in between chapters, where I won’t add anything new. I plan to alternate between Martin’s and Roman’s POV. There is no real plan, or direction where this will go, I'm open to ideas and suggestions.

Owen, nineteen and single, is finally making his journey to coming out, but this is far more difficult and complicated than the train journey he has to take from his small home town to London, the only place where he feels he can come out. What has led him to such an extreme move and what will he find when he arrives?

Topic span: Space, Insanity, Death, Society, Frustration, Beauty, Peace, Despair, Intimacy and Sex -- but most are actually love poems.
