    About this ebook

    A short story by Freddy MacKay.

    Josiah woke up like he always did, alone in the dark. It was time to get up and face the day—whether he was ready for it or not.

    Sometimes getting up is harder than you think.

    Freddy MacKay

    Freddy is a bisexual, biromantic, genderfluid nerd and geek who grew up in the Midwest playing soccer, diving, swimming and doing gymnastics, along with running around outside as much as possible—preferably spending that time in swamps and hiking through forests. The haphazard escapades have not changed, except some of them have been replaced with a healthy geocaching addiction and a love for Science Fiction and Fantasy. This love of SFF developed into a writing passion and has led to several awards in the gay science fiction and fantasy categories. Freddy likes worms, dancing and being outside... and toll passes, but you'll have to ask on that one. (They/Them/Their pronouns.)

      I walk into the orchid show with Ed. As soon as I see the tumultuous hall I know he won’t last long. Ed walks like an old man though he is forty. After ten minutes on his feet, he vomits on some purple phalaenopsis. I get him outside through a fire e

      William smiled at his wife, but it was a manufactured smile, the kind he’d worn when she first met him, many years earlier. He’d gone back to needing levers and pulleys to make his face do what he wanted it to do. She could feel him thinking: Make Sy

      “Ms. Ortiz?” No. It couldn’t be. “Yes?” Zoe’s heart started racing. “Hi there!” The buzz-cut black woman introduced herself and the faux-hawked white man accompanying her. Their smiles were warm and practiced, their demeanors skillfully casual. “We’r
