Writing erotica is an escape from some of the horrible and sad realities of life. 5amWriterMan hopes that his stories help any of his readers looking for an escape…or a release! ;-)

5amWriterMan was born from the author’s inability to sleep so he creates (stories, poems, paintings, etc.) He began creating through his insomnia, usually around 5 am, hence the genesis of “5amWriterMan.” He is obsessed with shades of grey, darkness, and a touch of red. He bats for #TeamGay and resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He currently has 11 self-published eBooks and welcomes all feedback – good and bad!

Jason had been driving for over two hours with Eli crouched in the fetal position in the backseat of the stolen car. Both were silent, in shock from the incident. Jason’s vision was marred with the pool of blood that surrounded Jim’s head. His ears echoed the sound of the bat slamming against the head and then bouncing on the floor as it fell from Eli’s hand.
