Just a Friendly Drink

Millie’s Vast Expanse – a land of seductions filled with tender, loving ecstasy or affairs entered into with reluctance and fear. An affair, begun in a hot, desperate, flash from veiled cravings. Where a man discovered he wasn’t the person he thought he was. Urges buried inside, denied, hidden from the world and himself.
Meet Brad, a twentyish college graduate working in the advertising field. He is a small man with small hands, small feet, short in stature and a timid soul. Blessed or cursed with a soft, elegant face more suited to a woman than a man. He has deep-seated fears; some he is aware of while others he does not even know exist – not yet, that is. Then there are the desires – he doesn’t know about those either or perhaps, more to the point, won’t own up to them. He just turned off from Normal Boulevard onto a winding avenue in the middle of the Expanse named Fate. Being lonely and thirsty he spied a bar and thought he would have a few beers and relax. Unfortunately, (or is it fortunately?), he has wondered into Millie’s Vast Expanse and his world is about to expand from the finite to the infinite. Beware – sharks sometimes, swim near the shore.
