Summary: Short-short Story: 3,000 words / 12 pages Genre(s): Fiction -------------------------------------------------- A short-short story that may have you questioning what you would endure for love. -------------------------------------------------- Author’s Note (Sept 09, 2018): Earlier this week, I sat on my balcony splitting my attention between the book I was reading, and watching a new neighbor move into our condo complex. (I’d later find out his name is Noah, he’s incredibly free-spirited, a painter (artist), a surfer, and has this really cool bohemian vibe goin’ on.) As I watched him––clad only in a baggy pair of cargo shorts, high-top Converse, and an interesting array of skin-ink––I couldn’t help but notice the way his friend/moving helper openly admired him. Loving a Straight Boy was born. -------------------------------------------------- Tags: FREE READ, BITTERSWEET
