Stockroom Secrets 16. Content Warning.
After leaving work I didn't go straight home, as I was too wound up over what had happened that afternoon. I also believed that my mother would quite likely explode when she saw my scratched face and torn shirt and found out what had happened, so I figured I needed to think about things for a little while first.

So . . . now that I've laid out my plans for my fictional "Thompsonville" universe, those plans needed to have some flesh added to their bones. Here are some fictional details for my fictional town, which helps set a timeline, establish the geography etc etc etc

A Figment of My Imagination (Part One)
One of the things I love most about fiction, both as a reader and an author, is that it gives you the ability to travel to anywhere, or to any time, to do anything, or to experience all that this world – or any other world for that matter – can offer.

The look of anger on Mike's face would have been enough to scare the bejesus out of just about anyone, I thought. It certainly had the desired effect on Troy and Dan, as they backed away. They wouldn’t have been quite the same age as Mike, who had told me he was twenty-five, but seeing as he was one of the managers within the store and they weren't, they knew when they were beaten.

Stockroom Secrets 14. Content Warning.
It was early afternoon when I made it home and as I walked towards the back door of the house, I found my mother out in the back yard working on her vegetable garden. I changed course and walked over to her, before taking a seat on the logs that made up the border of the raised garden.

On the way back to Meaghan and Robbie's house we chatted some more, but there was no further mention of what we had just spoken of. Our conversation reverted to more regular topics, like sport and work, which helped to cast aside that weight I had been carrying on my shoulders lately.

Stockroom Secrets 8. Content Warning.
I arrived home to an empty house but wishing that someone had been there to at least talk to. Even if it had been my father, even that would have been okay, just so long as I wasn't alone to wallow in my self-pity. I needed a distraction, pure and simple, so that in my mind I wasn't stuck going over the events of the day again and again and again. Was that too much to ask?

The truth always comes out. Or so they say. The revelation that my mother's brother, Bryan, was actually gay came as a real surprise to me. As did the fact that it was my father who had forbidden the information being spoken of. Dad had always been an aloof and often cranky character, but I'd never thought of him as being such a bigot and homophobe.
