RE: The Devisal of Mr. Dankworth
I'm just going to stop here to ask specifically if I just read a story that implicated... O_o - did I just read a rape story, I gotta read it again. The flags that suggested a "Gay" love: the crudely drawn heart, the other-wordliness of the setting, (Prisons in the USA culture being a place of Male-on-male sexual assault), the member rising, their names (both males btw) and then the creepy ending with the cry of insanity... It felt wrong, just wrong. My mind cannot compute the actual fuck I just read. I can retell the sequence of the story, how each lead to each and why things played out as they did. But message-wise... or the Whole of the story... I'm just lost... And I've seen the Twilight Zone classics as well... I-I don't know if I want to read it a fourth time with a close read... feel to mellow... I need a breather. I guess the intertwining worked here, not going to lie. But I am too reminded of my past that it feels like its merging too hard with those horrid memories... Sorry, I'm not going to leave a poem of four stanzas here - just one.

I love @tristancarax. But thank you for pointing out that rape is never funny. Sometimes, when we write, we kind of take a step away from reality and lose sight of the implications of our words. This story struck me as quite hard, also. @tristancarax has a soft heart and is very generous. The horror of what he was suggesting probably didn't hit him.
And I love the man as well, well as a transbian. And yes, this should go for all things created to remember that all stories do indeed reflect the author and the society at large. So stories should at least have sensitivity to what is even being written, even for the most Surreal of stories. Yet I empathize with you knowing me. And I just want, even if I hadn't worded the best I can, for all people to become better and if any a person must write a story like R*** that they know how to not offend survivors of such.
It's just what came out for this week. It is a horror story. These things happen. 8-)
I've not written like this much so it was a surprise to me. Good to work out those demons.
Sometimes that soft heart of mine gets roughed up a bit to remind me of where I want to be and who not to hang around.
Glad you stopped by, @agmoore.
I won't take it personally if you have to skip things like this. No need to traumatize yourself further by reading my work.
I too know what it is like and I have a brother mixed up in it. Sad stuff.
I just want to kiss you on the forehead so badly... can you accept it if I were to just say I am thankful for this comment?
