He has one last figure he must prove himself to; Alicia, his direct supervising nurse. She made a promise to Paul on his first day on the ward—one of the last wards in a regular hospital in the entire city—if Paul ever needed a drink after a shift to decompress, get a worry off his chest, deal with a professional issue, or even just to chat, simply tell her; Alicia would be there for him; that’s what good supervisors do. And Alicia believes she’s a good supervisor.</p> <p>After a long, but quiet, Friday night shift, with time to dwell on his thoughts, Paul pushes himself to take Alicia up on the promise she made. Something is bothering him, and mentioning it in the hospital, without support, could affect his career. Paul even knows exactly the bar he wants to go to for the 9am drink; Light Avenue.</em></p> <hr /> <p>Not Strong Enough to Run is a <strong>Solo</strong> short story set in the <a href="https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/99874/toni-with-i-part-1" rel="nofollow">Toni With An i</a>/Light Avenue universe, featuring the sort of, maybe, but not quite, but really ‘Yes’ LGBTQ+ bar. Set roughly ten years before Toni With An i it features both Steph and Trevor earlier in their careers. No knowledge of Toni With An i is needed for this story. Not Strong Enough to Run is, however, a tale that will enhance the experience of any fans of Steph, Trevor, or Light Avenue itself.</p> <hr /> </div></div></div> Tue, 27 Feb 2024 19:10:38 +0000 MsWoolly 101657 at https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf Epilogue https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/93773/epilogue <div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-8 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/author/robertame" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">RobertaME</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/audience-rating/general-audience-pg" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">General Audience (pg)</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-2 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/publication/publication-20" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Novel Chapter</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-3 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/genre/transgender" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Transgender</a></li><li class="field-item odd"><a href="/topshelf/genre/romance" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Romance</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-5 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/tg-themes/real-world" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Real World</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-6 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/tg-elements/slice-life" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Slice of Life</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-9 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/character-age/college-twenties" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">College / Twenties</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-22 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/other-keywords/2010s" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">2010s</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-11 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/permission/posted-authors" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Posted by author(s)</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Link: <a href="https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/90782/road-hell" rel="nofollow"><strong>The Road to Hell</strong></a> Title Page and Description</p> <p>--</p> <p>Joss sighed as he worked on the commission painting.

The costume had been dropped off the day before and fit perfectly. With the shoes, dress, red braided pigtails, and a picnic basket with a small stuffed Cairn Terrier sticking up out of one side, she was the perfect image of Dorothy Gale. Watching her aunt tying off the blue ribbons at the end of her pigtails, she smiled at the reflection, still happy to see her young mother reflected back at her, even through her costume.</p>

Enjoy the silliness!</p> <p>27,752 words</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 26 Oct 2021 05:44:55 +0000 RobertaME 91886 at https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf Chapter 11 - Out and Around https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/91885/chapter-11-out-and-around <div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-8 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/author/robertame" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">RobertaME</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/audience-rating/general-audience-pg" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">General Audience (pg)</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-2 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/publication/publication-20" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Novel Chapter</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-3 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/genre/transgender" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Transgender</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-5 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/tg-themes/fresh-start" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Fresh Start</a></li><li class="field-item odd"><a href="/topshelf/tg-themes/identity-crisis" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Identity Crisis</a></li><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/tg-themes/real-world" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Real World</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-6 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/tg-elements/childhood" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Childhood</a></li><li class="field-item odd"><a href="/topshelf/tg-elements/slice-life" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Slice of Life</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-9 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/character-age/preteen-or-intermediate" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Preteen or Intermediate</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-22 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/other-keywords/2010s" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">2010s</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-11 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/permission/posted-authors" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Posted by author(s)</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Link: <a href="https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/90778/lost-faith" rel="nofollow"><strong>Lost Faith</strong></a> Title Page and Description</p> <p>--</p> <p>Enjoying the ride in her aunt Heather's limousine, Erica was finally much more comfortable in her fantasy.

Next to her, Faith lay sleeping. The room had an odd quality to it as she unwrapped herself from Faith's warm clinginess. Sitting up, she dropped her feet into the slippers that Faith had given her the night before. Crossing the floor toward the window in her borrowed nightgown, she'd finally noticed that the howling wind had subsided leaving an eerie silence to sit over the house. She'd become so accustomed to the howl of the storm, its absence left a void in the perceptions of her surroundings. Peaking out the window, Erica saw something she'd never seen before.

He reasoned that he must have sneaked into April's bedroom last night like he'd done a few times after his mother's hospitalization when he'd been especially scared. April would soothe away his fears and he would sleep on her floor, returning to his own room in the early morning.

after the death of his father Jack in the early months of fighting in Afghanistan. Torn away from everything he has ever known, a happy southern California life with his mother and his best friend April, he is sent to the complete opposite side of the country to live with an aunt and cousin he has never met. Enduring one trauma after another, circumstances alter the way he sees life, God, and himself in ways he could never have imagined.</p> <p>Set against the backdrop of rural northern New Hampshire in the 2010s, <em>Lost Faith</em> combines elements of coming-of-age, transformation, self-discovery, and romance, interwoven with a potential answer to the question, "Why does a loving God allow good people to suffer?" It is written as a companion story to the novel, <em>Every Day is Your Last</em>.</p> </div></div></div> Thu, 29 Jul 2021 00:12:59 +0000 RobertaME 90778 at https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf
