@aaryn.reese - Over 50 years ago I lived this very wonderfully presented story for two and a half years. Yes, some differences, actually many differences, but the core plot gay young man and 'Straight!?' young man for just one very special person hit me to the very center of my soul. I made one massive mistake, I followed a career instead of my heart and lost that very special person as a soul mate. We've remained friends but I sorely regret that mistake. Thank you for reminding me that the core of ones existence is how one commits to the ones we love.
I'm glad the game brought back some old memories and I'm also glad that some things are timeless--that someone who experienced a story similar to this 50 years ago, can still relate to something written too. I really tried to write this in somewhat of a generic fashion, weaving in slang from multiple time periods and trying to give a lot of different age groups something to ground them to their generation. Glad to hear it held up with you. Thanks a lot <3
I don't have a clue as too wether or not you'll believe this, but since I wrote my original post to you, I've made connection with the party that your game brought back so many memories of. He's in troubled times once again, lost his job due to Covid. Strange how life ebbs and flows. Thanks very much.
