Stories that shook the writer down to his core ... updated as of Friday, April 11, 2008
These stories are about innocent young boys who suddenly find themselves in situations NO ONE wants to find themselves in. You may find reading these stories to be disturbing and upsetting. You may find yourself unable to control your emotions. You'll be disgusted, radically pissed and intensly moved by these stories.
My life ... my purpose ... my thoughts ... my very hard core beliefs were REALIGNED by these stories. Please believe me in what I say ... these stories, although written as fiction, reflect real life. YES, this kind of stuff really goes on. So read and gain knowledge ... for in knowledge, there is power!
I do not say this lightly, for one of my best and closest friends experienced first hand the evil that can be found in some men. The Internet is a wonderful place, but it's like a walk in the park ... there are good people there and ... there are evil people there as well. Be warned. Be informed. Be careful.
One final note ... read "The Nineteenth Year" if you want insight into the REAL feelings that go with REAL LIFE. Every single thing that happened in Daniel's past is absolutely true. I painstakenly extracted the details, the emotion, the despiration, the hopelessness, the loss, the humiliation and the facts from the person it all happened to. I am forever indebted to him for sharing those painful memories.
"The Gift" by Graeme (High School)
This story deals with suicide and it deals with the unconditional love every parent should have for their child. Graeme is a prolific author from down under ... Australia. But ya know what, it doesn't matter where you live on this planet, if your parents reject you because you're gay (or any other reason for that matter), you're left wondering about your own self-worth. Suicide is sadly often the answer chosen.
"Now I Know I'm Not Alone" by Dimi and Joey (High School)
Originally completed March 7, 2004, this story is now being updated ... Last update: August 10, 2006
After reading this story, I sent an email to the person who in real life is Daniel in "The Nineteenth Year" ... here's what I said ...
This story is very powerful and it has to do with your past ... I won't kid you ... I thought of you as I read it. I have hesitated in telling you about it ... but I just couldn't NOT tell you ... be warned ... this story will hit "close to home" ... I tell you about it because I haven't read anything like it before.
You told me about a young boy who became your "friend" way back when ... "The Wednesday Boy" is about a boy like that ... this story is about a boy that was one the other side of the fence ...
I hope that this story will help in your "healing" process. I kid you not ... I sat here last night and balled my eyes out. Not just tears rolling down my cheeks ... I'm talking about gut wrenching uncontrolable sobs of pure sorrow and grief that went on for at least a half hour ....
Perhaps by reading this story you can realize that you are not unique ... that what happened to you happened to other boys. The guilt that is hidden within you is not your's alone ... it is shared by others that have the same feelings. Why do I seem to just know this after reading a couple of stories? Cause the feelings of the characters in these stories are the same ones I got from you.

David is a young boy taking piano lessons, innocently enough. Danny is taking piano lessons as well ... or so it seems. Griff is the piano teacher ... or so it seems. What happens to David will shock you. He is able to get on with his life when it's all over, but then he sees Randy get into the same situation. David struggles ... wanting to keep that part of his life buried deep in his past, but seeing Randy going through the same thing, he just can't help himself. As for Danny ... my heart couldn't help but go out to him and at the same time, I wanted to beat the shit out of him.
