December, 2023 was a high point in eighteen-year-old Kevin Lewiston's life. He'd finally lost his virginity. For the first time in recent memory he didn't get a 'C' or a 'D' on his report card. His parents gave him their old Chevy Equinox for Christmas. Everything was looking up for the young man.

"My grand-father always used to say that everything that happens to us in life happens for a reason. And when we look back on our lives there are some moments that just seem to stick in our minds forever and I can now see what he meant by that."

For Scott Fraser there was one such moment that he remembers well. It was the time when, as a teenager, he saved the life of a young boy who was about to be swept out to sea.

What he couldn't have prepared himself for, however, was what would happen when that same boy comes back into his life some years later . . .

One night as a strange blue moon hangs in the sky, Ghil finds a horrifically malformed creature with feathery deep blue wings. The creature barely looks like it should be alive, but he takes it home anyway, hoping that somehow he can help the poor creature.

Even more horrifying than its appearance, it begins to grow, until, rather too quickly it develops into a fully grown man. A strikingly beautiful man who insists he’s an angel and who Ghil finds oddly familiar.

Before Ghil can begin to understand his nostalgic feelings for the man, a demon comes to hunt him down, sending Ghil on a journey he could never have imagined.

This is a coming of age style story with a BDSM spin. It's a reflection of events in my life and an attempt to discover the impact they may have had on my current state of mind and sexuality. It contains descriptions of actual incidents but, for a better narrative, I’ve fictionalized some parts and added characters. The main characters are Andrew and his friend Zack and the journey goes from middle school through and after college.
