Morgan
It was spring in Portland, and I was studying for yet another test when Morgan showed up.
He was exotic, gorgeous, and sexy as hell, but he wouldn't tell me where he was from.
Four seasons went by, and I still knew almost nothing about him. But I was about to find out.
Morgan is a short story.

About the author
J. Scott Coatsworth
90 books189 followersScott lives with his husband in a leafy Sacramento, California suburb, in a cute yellow house with a pair of pink flamingoes in the front yard.
He has always been in the place between the here and now and the what could be. He started reading science fiction and fantasy at the tender age of nine, encouraged by his mother. But as he read the golden age classics and more modern works too, he started to wonder where all the queer people were.
When Scott came out at 23, he decided he wanted to create the kinds of stories he couldn't find at the bookstore. If there weren't gay characters in his favorite genres, he would reimagine them, filling them with a diverse universe of characters. He'd remake them to his own ends, and if he was lucky enough, someone would even want to read them.
Scott's brain works a little differently from most folks - he sees connections where others don't. Born an introvert, he learned how to reach outside himself and connect with other queer folks.
Scott's fiction defies expectations, transforming traditional science fiction, fantasy, and contemporary worlds into something fresh and surprising. He also created both Queer Sci Fi and QueeRomance Ink with his husband Mark, and is an associate member of the Science Fiction Writer's Association (SFWA).
His writing, both romance and genre fiction, brings a queer energy to his work, infusing them with love, beauty and strength and making them fly. He imagines how the world could be, and maybe changes the world that is, just a little.
Scott was recognized as one of the top new gay authors in the 2017 Rainbow Awards, and his debut novel "Skythane" received two awards and an honorable mention.

This very short story (20 pgs) still manages to fully encompass everything necessary to feel complete. It is wrapped up nicely at the end but I do believe that the author could easily write a full length novel about "what happens next" since it ends in a whole new world that might be a lot of fun to explore.

This was a very fast read. One that is perfect for a long coffee break with a great HEA. Zach and Morgan meet on a hill in the spring and fall in love. Over a years time Morgan's love wavers and drifts away. Zack is left alone. A story that has a twist that you don't see coming. I enjoyed this little magical gem and I know others will too.

J. Scott Coatsworth's Morgan is a delightful tale that combines a little romance with a little mystery to great effect.

A sweet satisfying story
This was an unusual m/m short story about two college students that ended beautifully. I highly recommend this quick read and want more.

July 22, 2018This is kind of an idea of a story, rather than an actual story. But it's really, really short, and it was not an unpleasant way to spend a few minutes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
