Brian Flowers

I am a 40+ year old who enjoys working in the medical field, writing, food, and traveling. I grew up in a very small town: only 2 stoplights. Yes, that small! Once I turned 18 years old, I moved to a city 100 times bigger than I grew up. I write short stories. Many of the stories are based on true events. My hope is the reader will find comfort, laughter, and, at times, sadness that the reader may relate. May you find my writings a pleasure to read and share with others.

Heartbroken: All Over Again

After a break up, people say to just move on and forget the past. Moving on is possible: forgetting is not. A time will come when you want to reminisce and find out what you thought you never could imagine.

My First "Gay" Kiss

Two males kissing: Taboo in my hometown. The mere thought of it angered the more conservative individuals. Some of the liberal individuals frowned upon it. To summarize, "The secrets we keep!"

Forced From The Gay Closet

Coming out of the closet now, versus then? In today's society, "coming out of the closet" is almost unnecessary. Compared to 2 decades ago, being out is quite the norm. Now, coming out of the closet is freeing, cheerful, and gay - pun intended. Then, coming out was frightful and almost impossible.

My Chance of a Lifetime

If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. I find that statement to be half true. Start with a dream, a hope, or a desire. Go after that dream, hope, or desire! Accomplishment within yourself first and you can make it anywhere!
