'I should go,' he remarks, putting his car into gear. 'There's just something I want to say to you.'
I'm confused. 'Sure. What?'
'You came out when I was a kid. I remember how much everyone gossiped about you. I know that can't have been easy.' He pauses. 'But thanks for doing that. You might not have realised it, but even for those who don't want our sexualities made public, you made us feel normal. Like we weren't alone. So, thanks. Truly. And good luck with that girl of yours.'
Then he drives off, leaving me standing in the bottleshop, staring after his ute. Ali O'Sullivan. Who would've picked it?

pseud277over 3 years agoGreat story threaded nicely among a series of characters Id like to know. Great attention to detail as parts were woven together from seeming trivial asides, such as the story of the O'Sullivans. Very reminiscent of the Aussie stories by author Shaima32 on this site, who also captured that dry as dust Aussie outback practicality. Good job
Only_connectover 3 years agoWhat a great story!
A believable, engaging main character - check

Great, sensitively-written sex - check
Yes, I think that's everything. A cool 5*
tbonehunterabout 4 years agoOne of the better stories (for my sensibilities) on this site. Real people, good people, real life without a lot of manufactured drama. Excellent writing and character exposition. Thanks so much.
nightjackabout 5 years agoI have to say that this has been one of the best reads on this site for me in many years. Fantastic character creation and interactions throughout. A real sense of community and love amongst real friends.
Superb!
Maddie624about 5 years agoThis was a great story and I love how you laid it out...The characters were fantastic and I really enjoyed how they all interacted with each other. As an American, I had to look up several things/places in Australia and it was totally worth it. :) Please keep sharing your stories with us!
knowinghumansalmost 6 years agoI really love it! It has a good structure and you know where to put the humor in it! And it's not even trying! I love the ending, it's different from other stories and very unpredictable. I hope there's a story about Ali too!
Keep writing!
Exescortover 6 years agoI had to read it twice. Enjoyed the sexy bits but, more than that, I enjoyed the story as a whole.
It's honesty, it's authenticity, its feelings of reality, like it's happening to me. The chucked coke bottle, the comments, all so well written. Truly loved it, infact I think it's my favourite story on here, many, many thanks 💓
Anonymousover 6 years ago... the ending was anti-climactic in the extreme. Not even a cliffhanger to imply there might be more to write later on. That's a shame because like others had said, you did an outstanding job building the characters up and keeping the readers sucked in.
Anonymousover 6 years agoI am in love with this town! I've devoured all your stories...more please! I really hope we get Ali's story!!!
Oldbaldguyalmost 7 years agoThe kind of "real life" story that needs to be shared. Thanks for characters that make a reader care!
