Happiness Is a Warm Bum
By J.D. Walker
Six o’clock on a Sunday morning was the best time to walk the beach. I enjoyed a leisurely stroll, no matter the weather, pretty much every day. I’d lived next to water most of my life, and preferred it that way.
I liked to gather strange-shaped rocks, broken glass, anything that was unique and interesting as I took my stroll. I’d carry tiny treasures home in my pockets.
As I watched the sky lighten bit by bit, I thought about all the things I’d done and still hoped to accomplish. I’d just turned fifty and had no children, though my employees could be considered such, I suppose. The bookstore in town was my baby, but lately, I needed something…more.
I wasn’t in the closet, but I hadn’t necessarily announced my preferences to the world when I moved here eleven years ago to open the store. I simply turned down the ladies who asked me out on dates as gently as I could, and let everyone figure things out on their own.
Lost in thought, I wandered by the Misty View Motel knowing that very soon Tory Cuthbert, the owner, would be out here doing his regular morning run. We usually passed each other on his way back home. I hadn’t done anything like running in years. My bones weren’t up to the strain anymore.
Tory was like me, an out-of-towner who’d liked it here and decided to settle. He was also gay and happily involved with one of my employees.
The sky was pink and blue by the time I reached my half-way point. I sat on a rock, the fisherman knit sweater and jeans I wore keeping most of the brisk January wind off my body.
As I scratched my bearded jaw, I heard the sound of an engine on the road behind me. I turned and saw the rider of a dirty, weather-beaten motorcycle pull off about fifty feet from where I perched and park. Curious, I watched as he swung a leg over the seat and stood. He was a tall drink of water.
