Autobiographical - Stories

One man's journey to self-realization. I’ve been sort of stuck on the current active stories, not having the freedom to type as much. So I dusted off an autobiographical entry I’d written for a secret author event that I never used. All of what you’re about to read, should you decide to do so, is true.

My entry for the 2025 Poetry Anthology - Diversity! Quite possibly a topic we can all relate to.

This is based on prompt #144:

Describe your favorite place in summer. Make us feel it.

A short one telling the story of how someone might discover they’re gay.

The story was inspired by Prompt #211:

You’re a closeted gay man at a company gathering, for example, a conference of some kind. The company brought in a unique kind of entertainment and you’re attracted to one of the entertainers. With their costumes, you can’t tell if they’re male or female. You decide, what the heck, and ask them to meet you later. They’re not what you expected.
