Sean is a troubled young man. Some of the things he does might be considered to be not all that well thought out. At times all his family and friends, particularly his older friend, Johnny (the narrator of these fragments of Sean's life), can do is to be there for him, and help him to pick up the pieces when things go wrong. Even when, sometimes, Sean himself doesn't even seem to want to pick up the pieces.

One night, in a city floating upon the back of a giant migratory sea turtle, a boy named Liam goes out looking to get laid. What follows is writ within.

Content Warning: The story you are about to read contains ecstatic, possibly even copious amounts of gay fluff. It may include such things as: Boys kissing boys, boys holding hands with boys, superpowered magical transformation ninjas, and boys engaging in egregiously poetic forms of sex.

Full disclosure. I wrote this story primarily for stress relief. As a result, it's significantly lighter and less serious than my other work.

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.
