Just another gay story.

“A Savior will come with a tree that bears no leaves . . .” My father used to say that to me. I never understood what he meant. Till this day, I still don’t. Is this why he branded me with such a mark? Scarred me for life for a purpose that I am unaware of? He’s gone now and it seems that I will never get to find out what he meant. Here I kneel in front of the mayor and the boy who tried helping me. My deeds were meant to keep my brother and me alive. I wanted to keep Jaycee safe. I needed him more than he probably needed me. I wish I could do things differently, but I cannot. This may be the end for me. I’m sorry Jaycee, but it looks like your sister won’t be coming home tonight.
