Secrets

by J. Palliser

It's been said that every person has some dark passion within his soul-some hidden secret, desire or whim that may never surface to be seen even by the closest confidante. Such a secret can be evil and sinister, or it may be trivial and trite. In this novella, nineteen year old Robert's dark passions are easily submerged and hidden by the complexities of everyday life. Bored, frustrated, unhappy, he seizes at the first opportunity for release. In his need, he casts aside morals and scruples, determined to live only for the moment, to grab at pleasure before it is taken away. As Robert let's his curiosity get the better of him, he unleashes a series of events that follow that exposes him to long suppressed family secrets that thrust him into a world of emotions, secrets and desires that will either bring the family closer, or tear them apart. 'Secrets' is a novella of a family that dares to let its most base desires and passions come to the fore. They are some of the few who are willing to accept the consequences, be they reward or punishment, for allowing themselves to become completely liberated. Their story is a startling insight into the lives of a family whose motto might be: "If it feels good, do it!"
