Three young restaurant coworkers—a charismatic extrovert, a guarded transgender artist, and a quietly troubled cook—navigate a tangled web of desire, secrets, and the daily grind. As their lives collide, they discover that the key to surviving work, love, and their own demons lies not in going it alone, but in forging a unique, unbreakable bond with each other.
A little historical piece that’s shamelessly historically inaccurate (it would have even Robert E Howard shuddering in his grave coz I sat here with a pile of his books in front of me looking at the style he wrote in and just murdering it altho then again, Howard was pretty good at murdering history himself so maybe he’d just laugh. Wherever he is, I hope he enjoys this and RIP, dude. You were one of the best!). Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy the story - it was a lot of fun to write. / (Reviews)
