This work is loosely based on an actual building in Syracuse, NY. Though most of the incidents depicted in the story were fictitious,as well as the address, they were actually happening all over the country at the time. The plot of the story becomes clear at the very end of the reading. Perhaps it will make some readers wonder.
1980 NYC. A punk rock young man meets a lovely Latina High School senior from Avenue C and is immediately smitten. A bit of the Romeo and Juliet scenario. A slow build. A love story. If there is interest, I will continue the saga.
In good harvest years in the village of Gaiyto at the base of Lord Sumitora's mountain castle on the island of Honshu, the lord selects a 14-year-old boy to attend his tea of the full moon ceremony and enter into his service. In exchange, Lord Sumitora's granaries are opened to the village in bad harvest years. It is a very good harvest year, and Edo has reached his 14th year.
Luke Dunphy tries out some new sample pills from Manny on his sisters, Alex and Haley. They pretend to be mind-controlled by them and then force them down his throat, dominating him through the power of suggestion. It only gets weirder from there.
In this sequel to Lead Us Not Into Temptation, Father Di Mucci allows Ellen, his kinky and bi-sexual young parishioner, to attend his Mass along with her mother. I think he knew what was going to happen next, but he is getting deeper into denial. This is set in the New York of 1957.
