Todd's Coming Out (Part 10)
I didn't know when we got to sleep, but when I woke up I knew we hadn't finished the jug. I was wet all down my front and in my lap, and I could smell the alcohol. The clock said it was half past eleven. 'Aw jeez,' I said, waking Colton up as I...
Depravity - Beck
The poor raccoon-fox had been somehow roped into the business of human trafficking, so she served a black fennec pimp whose temper was as bad as his ears were big, and he had no patience for girls who didn't bring in the minimum.
Todd's Coming Out (Part 2)
When I got to Colton's house and rang the doorbell I knew I might have to explain this to his parents if he wasn't there, or Courtney, his twin sister, because I'd never be able to pass this off as just a social call. I'd never been so thankful when...

Todd's Coming Out (Part 7)
I thought it best to cut off all connection to the outside world for the next few days and didn't leave Colton's house. I'd never been much of a gamer, but within three days I fancied I was developing a healthy addiction to the Bioshock series. After...
Todd's Coming Out (Part 4)
Even though he'd been plenty smart in English class, I'd never thought Colton had much flare for writing (or that I did either for that matter) until he went first and typed the story of his accident, and how the man who had saved his life had later...
Todd's Senior Prom (Part 7- Finale)
'Well look at this,' my mother said. She was out on the porch, waiting like she had some kind of long distance sense of our approach. 'Are you two boys friends now then? All sorted?' 'We talked about a few things, yeah,' I said, trying to play it...
Todd's Senior Prom (Part 4)
We arrived at the field just as the sun was losing its heat and showing the first signs of setting. The marquees were already lit up green and indigo on the sides and the dance floor full of people mingling to the pop music, all a warm-up for the band....
Todd's Coming Out (Part 11)
The whole family were waiting for me, as if wanting to applaud me after spectating. Except Felix, who wasn't there at all. Mum saw me looking around and said 'Colton took him to get a soda and have a little talk. Are you okay?' So much for Dad...
