Styx's Storm

Styx

Shock and grief at the loss of our bandmate has driven Baxter and me from our home in Toronto all the way across the nation. I want to find some perspective on the shores of the Pacific, but our ancient van dies in a hick town, one hundred miles from my goal. There, Baxter ditches me like I'm worthless, and vanishes. I have no money, no home, no friends, and I'm stranded in Mission City. So of course, I decide a hookup with a hot stranger in a dark motel room will take my mind off my pain. Except in the morning, the oddly-familiar dude's gone and I'm alone again. I have real problems to focus on, so I don't know why some small part of my brain keeps wondering if I'll ever see that guy again…

Styx’s Storm is a 7k steamy gay short story with a man down on his luck, and the one-night stand that might just change his life forever.
