You walk down the forest path and realize that you’re weeping, and you have no idea why you’re weeping and yet you know that you have stepped over the mantle of sacred ground. You are being bathed by the forest, held in the embrace of trees.

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 Peregrin was in Portland to save his dog. The paw prints at the river bend were Cooper-sized but there was an extra pair of paws. Stranger, there was no evidence of footprints made by a dog snatcher—did Coopy get here by himself!? From St Louis!? #gay #microfiction #booksky

𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗻 - 𝟯/𝟯 This is why cities make poor lovers. Here he was, sickle in hand, cutting lavender for Portland. He'd wake exhausted. He always did. But he'd show up to the city with a gift in hand. Bouquet-bound, lavender-tight, full of bees. #writingcommunity #gay #microfiction

𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗻 - 𝟮/𝟯 As the hazy waves of heat rolled off the fields, astringent lavender dominated this kingdom with floral fist. The bees, its master, murmurated, transmutated into apis-humanis. They had eyes for him, and only him. '𝙖 𝙜𝙞𝙛𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙' #writingcommunity #gay #microfiction
