Stories

A story of what might have been if only I had known then what I know now. . .

Characters:

Dan, 15 years old, confused about his sexuality.
Dad, 40 years old, more understanding and compassionate than most dads of that era.
Joseph, Dan’s friend, same age, perhaps more aware of his sexuality than Dan.

Never has an attempt at ‘self-editing’ gone so awry.

Three centuries ago, during the Time of Original Sin, Oblivion and his six Daemon ruled Gaia in total darkness. Only through the sacrifice of the Heroes of Howllight did Gaia came to its new Golden Age. Now the new age is being threatened again for the Six Seals of Oblivion are slowly being broken.

One summer well before the Bolshevik revolution, when Russia was a noble country, young Alexei, as was the custom of the time, left the city with his family, for the countryside.

It was a time of discovery, excitement, longing, and also sadness. A time in which he made new acquaintances and fought battles with himself, as the child he still was struggled free from many constraints into a world of dangerous possibilities.

A geeky, un-Socials-ready author stands on the precipice of glory- holed honed fame! But can his ultra-hip influencer, hired to mold the young man’s golden clay into Instaham worthy BS, be able to resist the artless naïveté of his un-hep student?

A series of events unfold, placing sham and subterfuge in the uncompromising light of true love.

A school boy and a Dragon Lord spend a little too much quality time together and this is the result.

Trek is afraid of people and has withdrawn. Bumping into the right person may be all it takes
