Writer's Camp

Writer’s Camp ... by Donnie D Bellew

He wasn’t spectacular. Not even pretty, just an average face with an interesting ... uh, aura? persona? How do you label it? He was on the large size, not his hips but his long bones. He’d need a double x large sweater just to cover his wrists. Belt too high, shirt too plain for him to be gay. He didn’t have the look, either. Maybe that’s what drew my attention, that he didn’t seek attention. He wasn’t even what you could call an observer. He didn’t watch other people around him, just moved through the camp like he was the only one there. Self absorbed, how’s that? But not in a vain way. “Lawrence? Who is that guy, anyway?”

“Huh? Who? Oh, Brook? Alan Brook. Cabin twelve. A paying guest. He’s working on his Ph.D., something about truth. Capital tee, Truth. Philosophy, Columbia, you know.”

“But is he gay?” I bit down on the question.

“Far as I know, honey, he’s not anything. Just a brain visiting our planet.”

“Well, he’s missing the best sites, not even taking pictures.”

“Huh?”

“Does he ever talk to anybody? I’ve never seen him at the discussion groups.”

“He doesn’t do fiction. They have their own meetings. The non-fiction people stand back and point and giggle at fiction. They’re not like us and proud of it.”

“Truth, yeah, I get it.”

“He’s not grouchy or anything. Very polite, maybe shy. I’ve talked to him. He listens, doesn’t say much. Touches his cap like an underling in a Brit mini-series, smiles, nods. Polite but not really there.”

“Maybe it was your breath.”

“How sweet of you to say.”

“If you’re warning me off, forget it. (Oh, mulled cider! Isn’t that wonderful! Just like a theme party! No thanks, maybe later.) With those shoulders? The size twelve boots? I have to try, right?”

“Maybe he’s a pot head, he’s got the eyes for it. Look, there’s Michael Lewis!” Laurence pushed back his hair.

“Six and a half, uncut, five minutes of boredom, snores like a chain saw. B.t.d.t.”

“My, my. Been a busy little beaver, haven’t you? Beaver, cunt, slut, some kind of animal, anyway.” Lawrence did his Mother-smile.

“These are the wild woods, darling. Get primitive!”

................................................... He’s sitting on the rocks by the stream a few yards off the path. Not watching the water, just staring off into space. Could be herbally induced, maybe. I wander down that way, very casually. There’s a level spot just below the rocks. I meander along the stream side and my interest is obviously centered on nature and I’m deff not cruising him. I glance up and he’s focused on me with an amused half grin, hands loose on his knees, palms up ... is that a Zen thing?

“Oh! Hi. Beautiful day, huh?”

“Hi.” He grins wider. One hand reaches up, hesitates. He’s not wearing a cap, the fingers shift into a small wave. He looks foolish as hell. Okay. Pot. Knees wide apart. The basket humongous, not foolish at all! If I reached out, I could touch his knee. I touched his knee. He doesn’t seem to notice. The grin is fixed. Is he looking at my eyes or my forehead? The sunlight glares in my face.

“You’re Alan Brook, right?”

“Sometimes, yeah. Are you?” His loose hand fell back to flop on his knee. His fingers brushed against mine.

“Sorry? What? No, uh, I’m Nathan Donagan.” The pot theory moved up two notches.

“Hi Nathan.” And his gaze moved back to that indistinct point of distant green haze, his grin faded. I faded. I didn’t smell pot. I pulled my hand back from his leg. Seemed intrusive, now.

“Lawrence says you’re at Columbia.” I tried again.

His face came back to me. He frowned. “Am I?”

“Lawrence is our Guide, you know, sort of our social director?”

“One shouldn’t dispute an authority figure, I’m sure he’s right in his own way. Did he say where you are?”

“Did you ever read “Lewis Carol?”

“Did you ever eat guava jelly?” His grin twitched.

“I asked first.”

“Are you claiming dibs on interrogatives?”

“That’s another question and you didn’t answer my first one.”

“Then I suppose you shouldn’t answer mine.” He was like my cat, he could shift moods between eye blinks. I only hesitated a second but his gaze was drifting away like a flock of blue birds. A.D.D.? He was far too lucid for accidental gibberish. I stared right at his crotch. What’s it matter, he could care less. Huge package. Jockey shorts, though. No dangling bait.

“You’re very tall, aren’t you? Do you play basket ball?”

“Not usually, no.” His gaze came back to land on me, gift like. “Well, I’m usually tall, yes, but I rarely play sports. It was an accident that I got so tall. I didn’t mean to. May I have a turn, now? I believe I answered two of yours.” His dimples winked at me. I got the horrible impression he was not at all distracted. He knew exactly what was happening all around him all the time. Mostly, he just didn’t care. It was unnerving.

“Of course. Sure.”

“What do you write, Nathan?”

“Well, fiction really ...”, he waited, not a stir. He knew that. “I write mysteries, the Vic Lane series? and some gothic romance things, short stories ... a few poems.” He still waited. I hadn’t told him enough yet. “I write escapist fiction. Stories to entertain and distract people ... junk, I guess.”

“Junk?” He cocked his head, like it never entered his mind fiction might be considered junk.

“Well, sure. Nothing important. Pop lit, just crap. I’m not trying to change the world or anything.”

“But you do, you know ...”, he peered at me sharply, was I that slow? “You change the world by being in it. Why write stuff you don’t think is important?”

“For money! I have to make a living, buy food, gee!”, I laughed. I glanced at his basket again. I’d never get it, would I? He made me very uncomfortable.

“I never though of writing as an easy way to make a living. Is it? Why not get a job? That’s easier.” He leaned down towards me, his interest was fully engaged and I felt trapped. Lawrence would be setting out the cards. I glanced at my watch.

“It’s always been easy for me, the writing. Actually I think I’m lazy. Writing is the quickest way I know to get money. I really have to go ... Lawrence will be...”

“Wish it was easy for me!” He shrugged off his intense expression. “Thinking is easy, writing it down is difficult. I’m here to learn to write my thoughts down but all I do is think about writing.” He moved suddenly, rose and jumped down onto the path before me. His tallness overwhelmed me up close. I stared up at him.

“God! How tall are you?”

He held a hand horizontally at his head, “About there when I’m standing up.” His grin twitched at his thin mouth. The hand came down and presented itself to me. “Thanks for the chat. See you around, Nathan.”

......................................................

“Well, he’s not stoned out on anything. I could almost hear his brain buzzing! He’s playful, witty... ”

“Listen, I had some shit one time in Mexico ...”

“Lawrence? Are we talking about you or Alan?”

“I thought we were talking about dope.”

“Wrong answer! Boink! We were talking about that guy with the fabulous cock, the brainiac you called a pot head because you struck out with him.”

“I did not strike out with him and how do you know he has a fab cock? Maybe he wears an absorbent pad and has a bladder control problem. It’s just a big mushy basket.” “I don’t know what age men you’ve been dating but he’s not that old, honey! I know meat when I see it.”

“Mmm, and I know bitch when I smell it. I didn’t know you were in love.”

“Yeah right! In love with a non organic philosophy major.”

“Except his cock is organic, right?”

“It fucking better be ‘cause I’m determined to eat it!”

“Oh? Now what are you smoking, honey? Hey, you played void on hearts! I know you did!” “Well, I found that one hiding behind another card, sue me. ...and he’s having trouble with writing his thingy, his thesis or whatever.”

“And you’re going to help him? How altruistic of you.”

“That’s why I’m here, to help struggling writers!”

“Your expertise is in fiction, may I remind you? His thesis in on Truth? Capital T?”

“So? Truth is a form of fiction. Just depends on if you believe it or not, right?”

........................................................

“No. I don’t think so.” Alan leaned back on the bench, propped his big feet up on the porch rail. “I like to think of Truth as existing in a perfect form somewhere like Plato imagined whether or not we believe it. At our best, we try and find imperfect images that remind us, guide us.”

“But it’s all relative, isn’t it?” I tried to make sense of his passion. “It depends on the situation and the context. If Truth is a perfect thing then it can’t exist in an imperfect world.”

“Do you believe that?” He stared into my eyes. “Nathan, is there nothing solid you know for certain?” His voice was husky and intimate. I felt his warm breath on my cheek.

“Uh...uh”, I flushed under his close probing eyes. A surge of blood heated my neck and cheeks. Sweat broke out along my upper lip. “Yes. I know I want to suck your dick. That’s an irrefutable fact.” I caught my breath. Did I say that or think it?

He was surprised but not shocked. His eyes opened a bit then he leaned back and laughed. He slapped his head and laughed harder than I though entirely necessary. His grin came at me in a quirky, sideways manner, “So you know something for sure. That’s good, but can you trust it? Isn’t that just a displacement for what you really want? What you think you can’t have?”

My breath came back while he laughed at me. I would not be coy. Well, too late for coy, huh? “It is exactly what I want and, besides, you’re taking my side of the argument, you’re saying my truth is a deception. It’s the one thing I could think of that I knew to be absolutely certain!”

“But lies and deception prove Truth exists, right? What are they covering up but the truth? Can there be one without the other?” He leaned back near to me. His leg touched mine.

“It’s not a lie. I do want to suck your dick. It’s all I think about, every since I saw you.”

“But, why? It makes no sense.” He didn’t move his leg away. My announcement didn’t scare him at all. He didn’t seem particularly turned on by it, either. Maybe amused but not aroused.

“Why ask why? Sorry. I tend to think in commercial clichés. I mean, why must we ask the deeper questions? Can’t we just follow an impulse? Live in the moment, you know? Isn’t the experience of life what life is all about? There’s no experience in sitting around contemplating it. Sometimes you just have to do it. Oops, there I go again, Just do it. I’ve been brain washed by TV.”

“But if you never think about what you’re doing the act is meaningless, isn’t it? It’s without intent, without judgment or value. Is the unexamined life worth living?”

“Is thinking the point of living?” I grimaced. We were losing the moment. He’d completely passed over my confessed desire. I felt depression adding weight to my body. I gained about fifteen pounds just sitting there while he looked at me with his less than romantic grin. I couldn’t look at him.

“Hey, come on, Nate. What’d you expect? Did you think I’d pull it out? Does that line ever work?”

I sighed, slumped down under my increasing bulk and gravity. “Wasn’t a line, Alan. I just told you something real and you treat it like it’s an exercise in abstract thinking.”

“Oh.” ...pause... “Look, I’m not socially adept. I don’t know what I should say, Nate. I never had anyone just ... you know. I have to intellectualize life to deal with it. That’s who I am.”

“Alan! Don’t you ever want to be impulsive? Ever want to stop thinking a while?”

“Sure. Is that what sex is for you? Like your books? Just a diversion from real life?”

“Fuck it, Alan. I’m getting a headache. You think about it. I need a drink.” I was slow on the steps. He didn’t call me back. Fuck it. .................................................

“Hey, babe. Where you been? Jerry came over for a game of ... what’s wrong?” Laurence squinted up at me.

“Is there a fucking beer anywhere in these stinking piney woods? What’s that? Gin?” I grabbed a half glass of something and poured it down. “Vodka. Close enough. More.”

Lawrence poured. “There’s ice...”

“Fuck it. Had enough goddamn ice for tonight! Don’t be stingy, full!”

“You’ve been to see him, again, haven’t you? Did you suck his cock? I don’t think so!”

“You’d be so easy to kill, Larry, if you weren’t my last friend in the whole world. Ah! Better. One more and I’ll smile for you. Top it off, please. Yes.”

“Come on, give! Are we making progress on the high-Q zipper?”

“It tastes like guava, guava jelly, without the seeds.”

“His cock? You didn’t!”

“His breath. Kind of sweet and ripe. I bet he doesn’t get morning breath. Gods don’t.”

“Did he kiss you?”

“I wish. No … sigh … He told me my desire for dick was a compensatory mechanism. I really want something else I can’t have so I change targets, sort of.”

“Oh. He’s really straight, huh?”

“Absolutely. Not an experimental nerve in his body. He’s got to think about it, about everything. Bet he doesn’t piss on a tree without doing a complete environmental impact study.”

“Oh, dear. Well, he’s just not your type, is he?” Lawrence dismissed the whole thing with a shrug. I couldn’t.

“Do I have a type?”

“Did you meet Alexander’s assistant? Just came in from Boston last night. Very shy, blond thing, white pants.”

“Not too shy for white pants? Blondes bore me.”

“Why, let me thank you for blondes everywhere.”

“You’re not a real blond, intentional blondes don’t count.”

“Mmm, I have a choice here: I may be boring or I may not count?”

“Or you could be a shrew.”

“Oh, much better! ...”

“And I could be an asshole. Sorry, love. I’m turning in early. Night.”

..................................................

I’m typing before dawn, as usual. I don’t trust the sun to come up unless I’m working:

...She looked up into his face and watched the fire glow reflected in his eyes. She

only wished the glow were building from inside him but she knew it never would.

He was a cool and distant man. He’d never even know she loved him, never know

...

Tap ... tap-tap-tap. Shit. If that’s Lawrence I’ll kill him! I jerked the door open.

“It’s office hours. No visitors before ... Oh! .... Hi Alan.”

“Hi. Uh, good morning. Kinda early, huh?” He’s in jogging clothes, ugly electric blue nylon.

“No ... not at all. Come in, coffee?”

“No, not right now, thanks. You’re busy. I’m running. Sorry. I couldn’t sleep, I just ...”

“Please, come in. What is it?”

“No. I’ll go. I’ve been thinking ...” he grinned.

“Shocks me to the quick.” I grinned back. He flushed.

“I’ll do it. What you said ... if you still want to? I’m screwing it up, aren’t I?” His face went down on his chest.

“You’re doing okay. Thought about it a lot, did you?”

“Yeah, I guess. You were right about me. I do wish I could be impulsive and just ..you know, just live my life ... not sit around and meditate on everything. It’s stupid, I know ...and thanks, thanks for being interested in me. I still don’t know why you’d want to, uh, do it? But if you do, then okay. I think I need experience.”

“Right now?” I was startled.

He backed off the top step, almost stumbled, “No! Not now, but sometime. Whenever, okay? If you still ...?”

“Yes. Of course I still, sure. Are you sure? You need the experience or you want it?”

“Does it matter? Is there any difference?” He frowned.

“Forget about it. Don’t think about it, Alan. Go, jog. We will. Yes, we will. But not now.”

“Okay, later, huh?” He backed off the steps.

“Yeah, later. Can you see well enough to run?”

“Not really.” He laughed. “But I need to run, you know?” His laughter came in a thin echo as he trotted off down the path.

Edit mode: ...She looked up into his eyes and wondered if the glow was just a

reflection from the grate or if there was a fire growing from inside him. Could he

know how much she loved him? Would he care?...

...................................................

“I thought you liked salmon. You didn’t..” Larry studied my plate.

I pushed the lunch plate away. “Not canned salmon. Please! I’m not hungry, anyway. You want it?”

“I’ve had enough, I think. Maybe just a bite...”

“Look at the fruit bowl on the desert table, is that a guava? That brownish green thing?”

“Oh, I don’t know from guavas! I thought that was a kumquat.”

“No, they’re the little oranges, right?”

“When did you get this obsession with guavas?”

“Have you ever eaten guava jelly?”

“No! Sounds awful. What is it?”

“I’m not sure but I’m going to find out. I think it sounds wonderful.”

“Oh, you. How’s chapter seven coming?” “Finished it this morning. Half way through chapter eight, The Awakening.”

“That’s not on your outline ... you’re changing the story.”

“The story is changing itself. Here comes your new blond twin. Have fun. I’m off for a long walk before the meeting starts.”

“Don’t stray down by cabin twelve or you’ll be late!”

“Mmm. What a nice idea. If I’m not there, start without me.”

...................................................

He was on the rocks where we first talked. “How much of your paper have you done? Are you making progress?”

He smiled down at me. It that a wistful smile? “I think I’m making progress, yes. But not on the paper. I’m sick of it. Let’s not talk shop.” He jumped down and landed unbalanced, put a hand on my shoulder to steady himself. It stayed there.

He was as tall as ever. The sun still blinded me when I looked up at him. He smiled. “Come on. Let’s walk.” He pulled me along beside the streambed. His arm moved to encompass my shoulders. I leaned into him on each step, felt his steady heat. “You were right about a lot of things, Nathan. You said all the right things. Did you know that? I argued out of habit but I knew you were right. My father was a carpenter. He became a contractor, a business man. He made a fortune but he hated it. I don’t think he was ever happy after he stopped working with his hands, building something good, something strong and real. That’s what I want to do.” He stopped. His hands formed an empty space in front of his chest. “I want to make something real. Solid. Thinking is futile and useless. I’m useless.”

“Alan! Don’t say that. You’re not!” I reached out to hold one of his gesturing hands. It took both mine to capture one of his. Huge, wide hands. A carpenter’s hands? “Your worth doesn’t depend on what you produce, it’s who you are. You’re a good man, Alan, doesn’t matter if you produce papers or houses or just wise thoughts. You’re kind and gentle... you wouldn’t know how to be cruel or destructive. There’s something so great about you, I donno, like a beautiful soul or something. I’m not a spiritual kind of guy but you give me a spiritual feeling. Just being with you, I feel safe from evil and ...”

That’s when he kissed me. It was purely spontaneous. It wasn’t in his face or his eyes before it happened, he just bent down and kissed me. Not sexy. A chaste and affectionate kiss, just lightly brushed my dry lips. His eyes twinkled, if eyes can. The bottom lids went up and the edges wrinkled. His nose did a little twitch. I watched, wondered.

“You feed me that stuff and my head’ll get fat. Enough. Thanks. I love you, too, Nate.” He pulled me along and we just walked. He relaxed, his smile settled in. He glanced around at the water, the sky, the movement of leaves. He took a great big chest full of air.

It was brotherly love. It was sweet. Hell, it was glorious! I doubt I’d ever known a man I really looked up to, really respected and he liked me, accepted me. Alan didn’t care if I was gay or if my hair looked good. He didn’t care if my labels came from the right store or if my books were junk. He just liked me. He almost made me like myself, you know, when I looked through his eyes. Not so bad. Of course, he’d never seen me goggle eyed and dribbling jism down my chin. I doubt he’d kiss me then. He was so fucking innocent.

“Here, right here. Perfect, isn’t it? Is today special or has it been this beautiful all summer?” He dropped to the grassy slope and pulled me down with him. His chest was an open invitation. I accepted. His arms went behind to pillow his head and his eyes closed to the brilliant sunshine. I curled, half on, half against him. I listened to his heart beat. I bet he wouldn’t even get hard. I could probably suck his dick and he’d smile down with beatific blessings and not even get a boner. He didn’t need sex. He was above all that. Then he moved, stroked my hair and my back. My shirt was hot from the sun. His touch burned a little. He took my hand and pulled it down to his fly. Okay, so he did have a boner. My bad. I smoothed my palm over it and he sighed.

“Mmm. Nice.”

I wriggled lower on his chest. No belt. Snap closure. Brass Zipper. Soft cotton duck. White jockeys. Pale and sparse hairs. A smell like high school gym class. Fresh clean sweat. Sweet as a tropical ... He came quickly. He didn’t even grunt. His fingers mussed my hair.

“Stop. Please. It gets sensitive ... after, you know?” He pulled me back up his body. He could drag me by one finger, I weighed nothing. He cradled my head in an elbow, face near his. His grin was not saintly, nor leering. “Here, let me get this...”, a fingertip at my lip. So I did dribble. He licked his finger. Guess the surprise showed in my face. He laughed.

“Well?” He kept looking at me.

I waited, watched his face.

“Were you disappointed? Was it all right?” He frowned. “If I ..?”

“Fine. Fine, Alan. it was wonderful.”

“But it didn’t make you happy? Something’s wrong.”

“Guess you were right. I don’t know what I want.”

“Your one-sure-thing?”

“Guess nothing’s certain, is it?”

“Death and taxes?”

“And always wanting something more.”

“Yeah? I’ll have to think about that one.” He rolled away, fixed his fly. Got up, “Hey, I’m starved. I missed lunch. Wanna race back to camp?”

“You go ahead. Run off your energy. I want to be alone awhile.”

“You sure you’re okay?”

“I’m fine ... go.” I smiled, released him. “It’s nice here. Feels right.” He loped off, not a good runner, clumsy. “Feels like goodbye,” I muttered, closed my eyes. I had to think about it.

35 Gay Erotic Stories from Don bellew

Adventurous Marine

Adventurous Marine ... don bellew My cousin, James, he was a rounder. He was always chasing after some married woman or getting picked up for drunk and disorderly, some kind of trouble. He was a few years older than me and we never were close or nothing, just politely acknowledged our family connection and not that out in public. I guess I was an embarrassment to him, me being the butt of so

Anybody's Brother, Everybody's Son

Donnie D Bellew Charles got us another beer from the refrigerator. The light fixture over the table was one of those kinds that hang from a retractable cable. He pulled it low and threw most of the kitchen in darkness. When he sat down the light was harsh on his hands, showing up the ridged tendons and blue veins, the thin fingers and heavy knuckles. He tilted his chair back and rested his

As Sailors Sleep

As sailors sleep Bunk beds make strange sailboats yet I float and scut before the draft of your breath. As you lie sleeping, I hover above. Your watcher, your guardian spirit pinned in your sky. You sleep as if my weight were nothing, air about you granted worship. Fine striped blue ticking and tiny downy barbs are my cheek's lover not the tendoned tan hands I watch in repose,

Baby Blue Boxer Shorts

by Donnie D Bellew Something about Rayburn just seemed soft; he wasn’t sissy by any means, but he had that quality of easing past objections and ignoring jibes, you know? Like he didn’t really need disagreements--they made him nervous. He smiled a lot. He was easy company, anyway, and I usually paired off with him when the boss handed out job orders. If you got to work with a man all day then

Clear Cut

One thing I liked about Ralph, he never wore any underwear. His personality sure wasn’t star quality, he was no conversationalist at all but the sight of his heavy meat swinging loose inside thin blue cotton work pants kept me working near him day after day. He was one of those guys who seem completely comfortable with the world, you know? Never complained, never grumbled, just went about his

Cowboy Love

David was half way through his steak dinner, thinking it was likely the best food he’d had in a month, when he noticed the two cowboys at the next table. He was so entranced with the tender and savory meal he’d not even noticed them come in. They were not much older than him but they had the look of experienced wranglers. Kind of similar, both slim and browned from the sun, both faces deeply

Fake It Till You Make It

What? Twenty bucks?… just to see my dick? You shitting me?” “Here it is. I got it right here.” He watched the bill wave slowly. “Nawh, man. I can’t do it. Let me cut your grass or something. I gotta get some money, I owe this guy and he‘s pressing me, you know?” “Look at the yard. I cut the grass yesterday, Fred.” “Ain’t you got nothing else I can do?” I just grinned. “Yeah, I

Kitt and Cameron

donnie d bellew First day on the job and Kitt knew he wasn’t going to make it. When he signed up for the apprentice program he was only thinking about the money. Brick layers made more money than god! What he didn’t think about was the macho bullshit he’d have to put up with. Sure, he knew construction workers were gonna be homophobic and rude. He just didn’t realize how intimidating it

Marvin & Lonnie, Part 1

Lonnie knew Marvin was gay the first time he went into the yard next door to talk. He told the guy right off he was straight. They understood the lay-out. Lonnie must have known Marvin would eventually try something and Marvin had to know Lonnie would protest, right? Lonnie liked going over there. Marvin had a big screen and cable, the computer with internet access, the well stocked

Marvin & Lonnie, Part 2

Marvin came out of the hot shower even more depressed than before. He put on his flannel robe and decided to send Lonnie home. He just wanted to sleep off the headache. “Hey, I can’t take the noise, man. Cut it off, okay? I got to lie back down, my head is splitting!” Lonnie didn’t turn it off but he hit the mute. “Dallas just got a first down!” He announced. “I made you some coffee, it’s

Model 4

Model 4 ... donnie d bellew Jimmy is a fireman in Walker County, the next county west from Birmingham. Born and raised in a small town, did two years at a state junior college. History major and a Civil War buff. He’s twenty eight, married seven years, two kids. He’s six foot, one, a hundred and eighty three pounds of lean, lanky country boy. He told me on the phone he didn’t have a long

More or Less ... Part 1

At first Robert was reluctant to work for me. He always had another job when I called. I kept trying to hire him for a couple of reasons. First, he was the only man in our neighborhood that did lawn work on a full time basis, and you couldn’t depend on the high school boys to do a good job or to show up when they promised. But the main reason I wanted him doing my yard was because he looked so

More or Less ... Part 2

I shaved, dressed and put five twenties in an envelope. I drove to his house and pulled in behind his truck. His mother was a tiny woman, with a very put upon expression, a whiner. “He’s asleep! He’s out all night runnin' around with that rough crowd. I can’t do nothin’with him! You need him to work?” “No mam, that’s okay. Just give him this. I didn’t have the money for him the last couple of

Motel Six Morning

counted coup It's a Motel 6 morning in Bullnose Montana. Don't know what today is but the rodeo's over, the Greyhound has gone. I got two twenty dollars still stuffed in my sock from a contracting job that's all done. Don't know if my sore butt was prize for my bull ride or a gift from the plowboy still asleep in my bed. And there's just enough whiskey waiting there in the

Playing Around

I could never figure out why my sister married that idiot, Clark; nobody else could, either. She was a lot like me, quiet and shy in social situations. Clark was all-star linebacker. Opposites attract, right? He was the swaggering macho jock and she was the sweet, lady-like girl all the cheerleaders laughed about. But he wanted to marry her and she did it--against my advice, of course. Jenny

Red Neckin'

“See that boat up in the slew? Ain’t that Toby Martin?” Bobby Joe leaned out over the rail of the bridge, pointed. “Yeah, that’s him, cum sucking little faggot!” Earl spit a wad of brown juice into the river below. “Let’s go fuck with him … you can bet he’s got a cooler full of beer. He always does.” Bobby nudged Earl with an elbow. “Shit. I can’t stand that sissy! He don’t like me,

Reluctant Charlie, Part 1

My all time favorite reluctant lover was Charlie. He was a macho type but not too harsh; just butch enough to get my attention and cute enough to hold it. He was a body and fender man at an auto shop on my mail route. He was temporarily staying at his dad’s house just a couple of blocks from the garage. He was thirty five when we met, an ex-army special forces, parachute jumper, lean and mean

Reluctant Charlie, Part 2

I followed him to the kitchen. He set the bottle on the counter with a loud rattle, almost empty, hand not quite steady. “Get the beer … I’m gonna … uh,” he unsnapped his jeans and shoved them down, “gonna show youse da devil…” He turned half away, pushed his jockeys down off one side of his ass. “See?” he looked over his shoulder, awkward and silly. “Where?” I brought the beers over beside

Silent Life

I’m afraid this ain’t much of a story. It happened too fast, too sudden to develop a long story. I was staying up late one night, with my Uncle Matt. We’d watched the late movie and it was after midnight, the rest of the house was real quiet, everybody asleep. When he hit the remote, shut down the TV, the room went dark, no lamp on … Uncle Matt just kept sitting there. Hey, I was in no

Some Like It Cool

Some Like It Cool ... donnie d bellew It’s Monday and I’ve decided today my favorite flavor is white trash. I may not remember tomorrow so I’m writing it down today. Other times it’s been black street punks and sometimes blond teenage boys (eighteen and over, yeah-right) ... much earlier it was gray fatherly men with shameful pink secrets or tanned pin-up guys with black tank top pecs

Split Seams

“Hi, Craig. How’s it hanging?” “I’m cool.” He shrugged, shoved his hands in his pockets and leaned back on the gate to watch me wash the truck. I went on with my chore. Craig wasn’t the kind of guy to expect me to stop for him. He lived down the street and dropped by most anytime of day. We weren’t even good friends, just casual neighbors with nobody else around to talk to, hang out with.

Stonegate Ledgers 1

I think the year was twenty-five, I know the month was June with summer quickly burning off the downy spring. Dates grow encrusted and obscure but I hold clear a vision of saturated days, long and fever hot. I was at an interim of life, a milestone mark I wouldn’t soon erase. I’d never been away from home, the fall and college cast a looming shade. I clenched to this, my last toy summer, with the

Stonegate Ledgers 2

When I pulled up to the next spot, Ryan was standing by his upright post and taking a leak with his back turned towards me. I let the truck roll forward, squeaked to a halt just past him. When I got out, in front, he didn’t turn away. “Did you see the storm coming?” I pointed back down the road and he turned his head in that direction. “Aye, been watching ‘em. They moving slow.”

Straight Roommate, Part 1

We had a small yard but the temperature was in the high nineties and the humidity was thick enough to float a steel ball six feet off the ground so Warren was sweating like Niagara Falls. He made the last pass and pushed the mower up by the steps, peeled off his tee shirt and climbed up on the deck with a massive sigh. “You should have let me help. I told you it was too hot …” He waved his

Straight Roommate, Part 2

By late Saturday afternoon I was completely burnt out in Rich’s household accessories. Sometimes shopping just isn’t enough? I also picked up a couple of phone numbers, a clerk and a guy in the parking lot who looked really butch but friendly? So I called it a good day and went home. Warren was asleep on the couch while Wild Kingdom featured the life cycle of a green moth, fascinating stuff.

Straight to a Point

donnie d bellew ........ Tommy stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel just as he heard the front door open and quickly slam shut. “John? That you?” He called. “Well, yeah. Who else would it be, man?” His room mate came into the hall and stripped his tee shirt over his head. “It’s that kid next door, Kevin? He’s been over here twice already since I got home. He wants you to

The Album

With three trunks and several cardboard boxes full of papers, books and junk all smelling of whisky, mildew and pipe tobacco, it’s no surprise that it took me a month to discover the album. Uncle Harold had carefully packed up everything Granddad kept in his room and shipped it to me. I was his sole heir. Uncle Harold wasn’t really my uncle, just a long time resident in Granddad’s house.

The Baptist

I noticed him down at the end of the bar. He glanced up at me but didn’t smile so I didn’t try to talk to him right away. Still, we were both sailors, the only uniforms left in the place. Wouldn’t seem too odd if I spoke to him, would it? It was getting late and I guessed Tod wasn’t coming back. Several patrons seemed to leave at the same time and I looked around, wondered what time the place

The Far Edge of Friendship

I don’t generally announce my sexual tastes to just anybody I meet. I try and keep my private life private. Macall was just inquisitive as hell, though. He started in as soon as we began working together and wouldn’t quit. I kept avoiding his leading questions about who I dated and why I wasn’t married, etc. I actually told him it was none of his business, but that didn’t seem to make much of an

The Grand Obsession

The Grand Obsession ... don bellew It goes like this: He looks okay, not too damn defensive or nervous. He keeps watching your eyes, trying to tell if he reads you right. He’s not sure. You look right at his crotch, again, smile. Now he’s certain and he either grins or he gets the fuck away from you fast as he can. If he takes off then you keep looking, right? So he grins or he laughs … he’s a

Tiger Club Prank

When two guys from the Tiger Club sat down beside him in the library, Darren immediately began gathering up his books and notes. Common instinct for self preservation told him these guys had no good intensions towards him or anybody else. The Tiger Club was the top of campus hierarchy and nerds were down in the nether regions, dregs of the college social order. Darren very carefully avoided

Too Drunk To Go Home

When the poker game broke up Wallace was still sitting there, leaned over his fists. I thought he was about to cry or something. "He's wrecked, drunk as a skunk!" Somebody muttered. "That damn scotch, he was okay with the beer. Never should have started with the scotch ..." "Don't let him try and drive home, Donnie ... make him sleep it off." He roused up about the time everybody

Weak In The Knees

Weak in the knees ........... don bellew It had been cloudy all day, a dull silver sky that was growing dark in late afternoon. July it usually stayed light until nine but here it was only six-thirty and I was yawning. Too quiet, I guess. Quiet was the very reason I’d moved out to the country when I retired. I wanted to get out of the city and away from the sight of constant people.

Working Stiff

I was staying late one evening at the office, just hanging around to use our great system to surf the net. My home PC is okay, just slow. The boss is cool. He knows what I’m up to. I don’t get paid by the hour so he doesn’t care how long I stay. He actually benefits because I answer the phones and take messages until I leave, maybe eight o’clock on a good net night. When the crew of janitors

Writer's Camp

Writer’s Camp ... by Donnie D Bellew He wasn’t spectacular. Not even pretty, just an average face with an interesting ... uh, aura? persona? How do you label it? He was on the large size, not his hips but his long bones. He’d need a double x large sweater just to cover his wrists. Belt too high, shirt too plain for him to be gay. He didn’t have the look, either. Maybe that’s what drew my
