LGBT FLASH FICTION: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! THE MOON'S A PUMPKIN ONE NIGHT A YEAR

The Moon's A Pumpkin One Night A Year by A J Damian.

"I wanna go trick or treating." I said.

Being a god of youth and the moon isn't all its cracked up to be, especially when you have different aspects. With or without a moon disc, was sceptre, ankh, crook and flail - I was all wrapped up like a darned mummy most of the time. As I had a day off and prefer the night, October the 31st sounded like the sort of fun I'd enjoy, and once I'd travelled to the States I could look as normal as the rest of the kids out in the streets, soaking up the bitter sting of Fall before winter had its chance to take hold.

 Banished by AJ Damian

LONG WANG AND THE YELLOW EMPEROR

Long Wang and the Yellow Emperor a story by A.J. Damian


In the court of Emperor Liu Tsu the prince had a lover called Wang, and every time he looked at him he thought these things; his eyes were like the onyx that was inlaid within his most prized sword, lips were the colour of the inside of a conch shell from the sea, teeth the whiteness of the pearls around his throat, hair that shone as blinding as the ebony his father had a plentiful supply of, and his member he called his jade stem for it was so prized by him it could have been a grand stem in the royal lake that bore a lotus flower, the largest there.

"Your highness, why the long face?"

"Wang, my love the time has come for me to wed and I feel I am not ready."

Wang smiled at him instead, trying to settle him. "I take it your father wishes you to marry a girl."
