Through the fog came the reality of being taken by another man.  No!  Not this!  
Please!
 An awful torment stabbed through his mind.  Was it not a surrender of
his masculinity to lie there passively?  Was it not an abomination to allow

schoolyard bully; though at that moment, intoxicated on the newfound chemistry
of his body, the real question was whether he wanted to live without it?  They

his long denied inclinations; a man now positioned between his legs and
touching him so lovingly?

seen a snake disappear inside an upstairs parlor, or had been mistaken for a slave,
or had touched another man’s anus—or maybe because all of these events had
melded into an unraveling ball of chaos inside his head.  But then, was it insanity or
pure bliss?
