Status Updates From The Coil

Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is a direct quote: "and despite the fact that Mattie had topped him that evening, the way he held him now made him feel like a man." You're both gay and have penises; pretty sure that makes you both men.

I feel a ranty me coming on, with Simon being all "I'm sure you can do better than hooking." and "even though he was a hooker, he was nice to talk to" *paraphrasing* How do you know what you'd do in his situation, Simon? I'm definitely not down with these judgy mcjudgerson attitudes.

Well congratulations, I am on page 3 and crying already, I think that's a record...

"Scratch your balls or something."

“This is me, telling you that you are still the guy I tell my secrets to.” Simon swallowed. “You always will be.” --- Awwwww!!

Time to get your act together, Simon! Mattie doesn't deserve to be treated this way.

"He could feel it, the coil inside of him. It pulled tight, chafing and burning. He knew he could justify it to himself all he wanted, but the transaction was dirty, made him feel as if he weren’t quite a part of the human race like everyone else."

It's very good so far.

«People who loved you, people who chose you, who made you their family and made you belong, they’re the ones you have to hold onto with everything you have.»

I'm going to have to come back to this. I'm too emotional to handle this right now.
