No panic attack “I’m sure they sit around and talk about everyone.” “And the most humiliating part was the superintendent was sitting beside me.” He paused talking but not pacing. “Gay!” “What did the superintendent say?” “Nothing, I can only speculate that he was too shocked to say anything.” Oscar finally sat on the couch,Continue reading “Winter Season”

Not gonna eat that Oscar came home about 3 o’clock. She thought it was odd but then again, school hadn’t started yet. When she opened the door, she didn’t see him, she saw a thunder cloud. “What’s wrong?” When he came in, he started pacing around the living room. “Let me tell you about theseContinue reading “Winter Season”

Proposal “I think it’s getting better, though I’m not willing to try.” He put his hands on her waist. “How about we pack our lunch and go to the lake and have a picnic?” She kissed him, “I like that plan.” “I love you.” “And I love you.” At the lake, she spread out theirContinue reading “Winter Season”

Church Oscar had gotten most of his wish. They had spent most of the month of July at the lake. They both had a light tan. He had been able to sneak the ring sizer on her finger without her knowledge. Or at least he felt she didn’t know. He peered out the window andContinue reading “Winter Season”

After the fire was burning, he came over and sat down in front of her. “So this was what all the secrecy was about?” WhenContinue reading “Winter Season”

The Letter Oscar hadn’t seen Esther all week. He was afraid he had said or did something wrong. It wasn’t beyond the realm of impossibility. He wasn’t very good at this love stuff. Though, learning with her was fun. They had survived testing and the end of the school year together. He wanted her toContinue reading “Winter Season”

Jealous Dance When she came back, Oscar smiled, “where have you been?” She smiled, “around.” Soldier boy caught her eye. “Who’s that young man?” He was walking over to a young woman. Esther assumed it was the female he was ready to fight over. “Douglas Powell. His parents are a mess. He’s joined the MarinesContinue reading “Winter Season”
