Another very well written story from @Gary L depicting life for gay men during a difficult and shameful period in Spain.  

We meet up again with Ximo, a young gay man of considerable means, studying law whilst negotiating life under the fascist regime of Franco. His relationship with Gerardo has developed into something where both must remain vigilant to protect themselves from Gerardo’s fanatical employer.

Ximo’s relationship with his father has blossomed into something wonderful, something neither could have imagined, whilst his relationship with his mother, a stupid, vain and shallow woman continues to sour. 

 Suspenseful, intriguing and riveting short story.

This is a superbly written story combining a very tense time in the history of Spain with a wonderful story of the difficulties of surviving as a gay man in this time.  It is woven so very well and with such crafted writing that one feels as part of the scenes. As for the character development, the relationship between Ximo and Gerardo grows so very carefully, Ximo's relationship with his father is surprisingly warm while with his mother is sketchy.  Well worth the read!

Response from the author:

Wow, thank you so much.
