This is a collection of my short non-fiction pieces.

It's mostly lightweight stuff, just written to make you smile or laugh.

This collection parallels that of my short fiction on this site -- Circumstances. Also, pretty lightweight.

Enjoy.

Ben is a visually impaired gay demisexual, who encounters Jason, a gay homeless young man. Though they both have their own issues and background, they grow closer with each encounter.

Justin has learnt not to expect a connection when he escorts older men. An evening promising modern ballet doesn't seem a likely candidate to buck the trend.
