Coming Home Tomorrow

(An Original Amazon "Short")

Evans must decide if he wants to be the faithful and dependable lover to Louis who is returning home to recuperate after a long stay in the hospital. Or will his bitterness over Louis's unfaithfulness and the prospect of Louis's long road to recovery drive him to run away. Louis is in the hospital due to an auto accident that occurred when he was being his usual unfaithful self. Now Evans who has stood by his side wonders if he can continue to put his life on hold and take care of this man. During Louis’ last night in the hospital, Evans meets a young man, who is devoted to his invalid grandfather. They strike up a friendship. The young man explains his devotion and love for his grandfather and he has even put his life on hold to take care of the enigmatic old rascal. Evans is taken in by the young man to the point of them attempting a sexual tryst in the hospital’s morgue. Evans is a miserable failure. Guilt eats at him so much that he vows to take care of Louis. However when he enters the hospital room he finds Louis and a male nurse in a compromising situation. What will Evans do?

Excerpt:

Evans looked at Louis and felt a warm burning in his belly. Louis had walked out of their apartment late one night with a backpack slung over his shoulder—walked out on two legs to another man’s car. That car flew out of control on a patch of wet road and almost crushed Louis in its metal belly. It was curled around Louis like a snake curls around its prey. They had had to employ the Jaws of Life to pry Louis out of the mangled wreckage. They used forceps to pull the guy’s penis out of Louis’s mouth. And now Louis Simmons was coming home.

Excerpt 2

Evans glanced at the small red sign on the thick steel door it read: DEPT. OF PATHOLOGY AND MORTALITY.
“What's this room?”
“This is the morgue.”
“The morgue?”
“Yes the morgue. You don’t expect us to make out in the Baby Nursery with its large picture window do you?”
