pansexual - Stories

A clean-cut Mormon just passing through town, a ravishing brunette who flirts dangerously with passion, and a male model/pool shark, all find their lives unravel in the concussion of their chance encounter.

14-year-old Bryan Padilla is caught between worlds he doesn't feel connected to. Having been abandoned by their birth parents at a young age, Bryan and his younger brother, Caleb, were adopted by a family friend, Diego Padilla, and raised in a culture not of their own. Though it is the only life Caleb has ever known, Bryan inwardly struggles with his feelings about life, death, race and sexuality. Things escalate shortly after the death of his birth mother. Can Bryan come to terms with his situation as a figure from his past tries to upend his entire life?

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.

Translations of Wilhelm Runge's unique poems, which blend natural sights with erotic feelings. As far as I know, this is the first substantial collection of the poet's work to be rendered in English.

All artwork posted with the poems are by noted Gay American photographer Minor White

The road out of hell is long and paved in blood and betrayal

Thirteen-year-old Travis Turner thought he had a handle on his alien powers. Then demons captured him and took him to Pandemonium.

Lord Abraxas, a King of Hell, takes in Travis and teaches him to control his demonic abilities. But he must be on guard, for his enemies are legion, and loyalties can shift in a heartbeat.

If he’s to survive long enough to find a way back to his boyfriend, Travis must master The Game of Souls, the intricate rules governing demon interactions and warfare.

To protect the boy and world he loves, 7th-grader Travis Turner must reject his destiny as evil's chosen one. But one does not simply tell Satan no, especially not when he can invade your body and mind. Can Travis overcome these odds to become a legendary hero?

Elliot and David both had their lives changed by encounters with Extraterrestrial life as children. While most have seen or heard of their tales, it is not the end of their strange adventures. Their stories continue as they traverse the realms of possibilities beyond imagination.

Strolls; encounters; kisses through closed gates; lighted windows seen from below; rumpled bedsheets turning up men’s shirts . . . These are just a few of the images in August Stramm’s poetry collection titled “DU” (“THOU”).

What follows is a complete, fresh-look translation of the thirty-one poems of this set.
