A tale for the season. I know the contest cited was long-closed, but, to quote Doc Brown at the end of BACK TO THE FUTURE I, "I figured, what the hell."

The park is in dire need of a full-time jack-of-all-trades handyman to keep things running. The big problem will not be finding someone qualified, but finding someone who will accept the required changes...

This story was published earlier on the TG Fiction group and on FM. It should help understand some of the backgrounds of the characters and of the Beach.

Covered Bridges-8.

Chapter 8

I’d like to say that John was the guy.

That guy that if you’re transgendered and straight you’ve been looking for, the guy that I guess that all girls are looking for and while john’s a really nice guy. Sweet and smart, soulful and artistic and just a really, really decent guy.

He’s not that guy.

He’s a good lover and he’s attentive and demanding both and he’s fun but I don’t know? It could be the fact that why there’s chemistry between us it’s like making supper or even a romantic meal he’s not the guy that takes my breath away.

And I know, I know that that person might actually not even exist out there for me but I’ve made my choices. I’m looking for that person. I want a life.

When I started this concept, my intent was to write the story in text messaging. Unfortunately, I don’t text so I was done before I started. The tale morphed into this.

If there are any authors out there conversant in texting, I encourage them to write a short texting story.

X-Why-Me…Chapter 8

Chapter 8

It was a few stares and a bit of quiet for the rest of the bus ride home. She got off the bus with Angie. She shouldered her backpack and started up the lane. Angie wasn’t too long coming up from behind huffing from trying to catch up.

“Hey…”

“Hey, how was you’re day?”

“Not as interesting as yours.”

“So you guys heard it too huh?”

“About how my sister’s a lesbian?”

Mister Nelson, reported missing for several days and suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, is found wandering around near the park. The old woman takes pity on the poor soul, caring for him in a way only she can.

“I’m here Dylan…I’ll help you ride through this…and things will be better in the morning.”

“Better…”

She snuggles so close to me.

“Yes, better…I promise.”
