Lost Island. Honorable Mention in Pride Under Pressure Challenge. Top Story - February 2023.
Dani had lost count of the number of times she'd walked the dingy back hallways of the mall. She thought she knew every stain, each crack in the cheap tile floor, all of the exits and backdoors. Despite her supposed familiarity with the area, she had to admit it.

Why Would Anybody Choose to Be Gay?
I was thinking about my LGBTQ brothers and sisters this morning. The things they endure and have to go through as part of the LGBTQ community. The nasty things that are said behind their backs. You hear it from conservative Christians and mean-spirited bigots far too often:

Transcendence
It had been years since Alex had changed their password. They had been too scared, too scared of what might happen if someone found out their secret. But as they sat in front of their computer, staring at the login screen, they knew that it was time to reset their password.

Conquering Elements: A Haiku Series on Overcoming Challenges and Finding Love in the LGBT Community
In ancient Greece, love was seen as a force of nature, akin to the elements themselves. And, in this haiku series, we see that love is indeed an elemental force, burning fiercely like fire, flowing adaptably like water, taking root and thriving like earth, and soaring freely like air.

A Cabin to Remember
We drove up the snowy, winding road towards the picturesque log cabin. I rolled down the window. A delicate little snowflake landed on my finger when I stuck out my hand. It was beautiful, my first time seeing real snow. We finally reached the cabin. My boyfriend Tim was the first one to leave the car. We had to unload all our stuff from the trunk. I still remember his big smile when we entered the cabin. Looked better than the pictures – the cabin – and his smile.

The Knight's Error
Hazel slashed her borrowed sword through the spiny, overgrown vines, creating a jagged path to the crumbling castle. She was grateful for her secondhand armor–she could hear the thorns scraping angrily against the metal, longing to tear her flesh but unable to gain purchase. She wondered how many knights had failed simply because they could move no further without a steed (surely, no horse would endure the torture of a thousand tangled scratches) or blinded by forgetting to secure the visor of their helmet. Hazel’s visor may have been twisted in spots and rusting in others, but she had ensured it would hold against the terrors of the vines. She was thankful for the months of studying she’d ensured prior to her quest. She’d snuck into her father’s shop to repair her brother's weathered armor as best she could, and she appreciated her efforts had not been in vain.
