Cool City

Cool City: A place where only cool people live. Image and reputation are the only things that matter in Cool City, and when people are in the public eye, they're on their best behavior, dressed in their best outfits. In private, it's a different story. The strain of keeping up a false front takes a toll on the citizens. When the facade begins to crack and the true nature of human beings shows through, a certain special someone arrives to give the city a much needed makeover.

I’m posting this now because that kidnapping of the three women in Cleveland is in the news.

For Bart Kabakjian, being kidnapped by religious fanatics wasn’t bad. His kidnappers had the Medallion of Zulo, and they were grieving over their daughter.

VAPOUR TRAILS

By Touch the Light

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a tg story or not. I'll warn potential readers now that it's basically a conversation between two brothers in a pub, and makes no reference whatsoever to the transition process as an individual might experience it. Those of you who care to investigate further may think, like I do, that the story's saving grace is its brevity.

One April Morning: The Rising of the Queen

“Good Morning My Queen.” A musical voice piped, far too cheerily for any morning much less this one. This weekend was supposed to be magical, the fulfillment of all of his dreams, but he'd only found bitter disappointment, again.

Fear of Faith

Fear of Faith

Once again, do not expect a joyful tale reading this. On the contrary however, I write misery when I am at my happiest and vice versa.

This may seem like a shot at religion, but it is far from that. It tackles individuals and means no offence to any group of people, in fact I wrote this with a slight pro-religion perspective.

This is a work of complete fiction.

The Boy Inside
