I always say this, but I am quite excited to share this story. I worked on it constantly for a week straight in June, finding any spare time I could around my day job to fine tune it. Was absolutely hard as a rock writing every chapter and I think that will come through (hah). It's a spicy one and very dramatic. Eight chapters. Synopsis below.

Synopsis:

Lee is fresh out of college and struggling to start his career. Out of desperation, he takes a summer job landscaping for a local company run by the stocky Juan Pablo. As long days under the sun turn into shared lunches and lingering glances, the line between boss and employee blurs. Meanwhile, Lee’s body changes from both the hard labor and Juan Pablo’s steady stream of rich food and subtle praise. Eventually, Lee must confront not just what he wants, but who he is becoming.
