And here we've reached the end of this wonderful story.
Some notes:
- Oh yes that hole for a sequel is wide open, yes I did notice that.
- The pool game that Angie is playing is called 14-1 or Straight Pool. It was made famous by the movie The Hustler starring Paul Newman, but it was one of the most commonly played cue sports of the 1940s and 1950s.
- I started this story wanting to have a frank discussion of homosexuality in the 1940s and how absolutely devastating it could be for people to get carted off to mental institutions to be cured, oftentimes though horrible means like corrective rape and the like. I didn't want to write about that, but rather what came after an experience like that. Which is how we have beautiful, wonderful Angie and this mental war going on within her. She is too pure for this world, and she's seen the absolute worst of it.
Thank you so much, everyone, for your kind words of encouragement with this story. I'll be back.
