CLOSET CASE, Vol. 1

My heart stops in my chest. Arms wrapped around me grow tighter. My lungs are becoming numb.

He sounds the same as ever, looks just as hauntingly beautiful as I remember. He's only bigger in the ways that matter. Stronger, an adult, a man in a man's body. A role model for all the boys down there, including Kendal.

If ignorance is bliss, I must be in Hell.

What happens when the abrasive jock and his emo punching bag reunite a decade after an unspoken goodbye? One's a celebrity football player, and the other is roaming the hallways of their Alma mater like a ghost, desperate to be the teacher he never had all those years ago. 

Follow Mallory Umber as he reconnects with the man who made his high school days a living hell. He's been watching him from screens upon screens, obsessing over what could have been, but he isn't the one desperate to rekindle an old flame.

Montgomery Anderson is a man who can't apologize chasing after a man who can't forgive or forget. He doesn't care. He wants what he wants, and he's going to take it.
