HOMOSEXUAL STORY

Liam is special.

I knew that the first time he came into my class. His body language, his demeanor, and the way he watches me. Going by the way he stares, I know he has been searching for me for a long time. Maybe even all of his life. I’ve had a few private conferences with Liam about his essays. He is a talented writer and shows promise. He tells me he wants to become a professional. The essays he turns in are gay erotica. In each story, the pen-named main character is Liam himself, painfully expressing his desire to be with an older man. What started out as a creative writing project has become a thinly veiled cry for attention, a way of expressing his deepest desires. After reading a few of his essays, I realized they were clumsy love letters he was writing to me.

I make a decision.

A decision that has been in the back of my mind since my tenure at this campus.

To make love to one of my male students. A bisexual awakening story about the love that develops between an older professor and a gay-curious freshman.
