I’m looking through the keyhole, again. I know I shouldn’t do this. I know I shouldn’t get lost in pleasure I cannot obtain. Not in this way, not like this. Society consider this taboo; considers this a sin. But what can I do, besides being myself? I like me – mostly. If there is a […]
Tom opened that door. It was pitch black beyond it and it felt strange: he couldn’t see a thing inside, even if the light in the corridor was supposed to illuminate at least the first couple of steps. Yet, the presence of Ron – his guide and friend – behind him was somewhat reassuring. He […]
