Traveler Through Darkness
Fierce Dolan
A lifetime of want collides with fate the night of Tarik’s
bachelor party, fulfilling his deepest secret desire—only it’s not with the
strippers his Arab friends hired to cater to his every whim. Uncomfortable with
the debauched festivities, Tarik ducks out of the soirée, stumbling into Wo, a
kind Navajo artist, who forces him to say what he really wants, then gives it
to him, all night.
About the Author:
Mezzofiction author, Fierce is imagination shapeshifted as a
scribe taunting blank pages and carpal tunnel, neither of which are much use
for deadlines. Close allies are impeccable timing and a trusty masseuse. Being
a switch I/ENFP doesn't hurt. For kicks Fierce has other personas across
several genres, tends to fill in “Other” on surveys without explaining, and
chooses the finality of the Japanese Tamagotchi.
In summary: Fierce writes all kind of dirty things that you
probably shouldn’t ever read…
Excerpt:
“I am so sorry–” Tarik began.
“It’s okay. It was an accident.” The words were rushed as he
pulled the soaked sweatshirt from his skin and fanned the dripping tablet.
Black smudges coated the fingertips and heel of his left hand.
“I've ruined your work,” Tarik lamented, motioning toward
the pad.
“Oh, no. It's just a sketch. I was fascinated with the
moonlight on the harbor.” He flashed a charcoal rendering of the midnight
water. A long, shimmering black strand fell forward of the band securing his
hair, lighting just at the edge of his upturned mouth. “No masterpiece here.”
Piercing umber eyes met Tarik’s, and the gentle smile
relaxed his shoulders. “You were in the ballroom earlier.”
“Mmm. The bachelor party.”
Tarik pursed his lips, nodding once. “I’m staying in the
hotel. Allow me to get for you a clean shirt.”
“It’s fine. I don’t have far to go.”
“In this cold, with no jacket, you will freeze. Please. I
insist—”
“What's your name?” the younger man asked.
“I am Tarik.” He bowed.
“I'm Wo.” He nodded. “Thank you for your kind offer, Tarik.”
