When the only man he's ever loved, once a millionaire, ends up homeless, a palliative carer must let go of the past in order to help him get back on his feet. --- There's a delicate balance between self-preservation and self-isolation. Palliative carer Josh Winters has dedicated his life to bringing joy to someone's final months. His nurturing nature finds an outlet there for all the feelings he refuses to attach to anyone with a full life ahead of them. It's easier that way, simpler. Former millionaire Emery Hall has his own ideas about ease and simplicity, and they created an unspeakable rift with Josh in their past. Josh can never forgive him, but when he discovers Emery has been homeless for months, he will do everything in his power to convince the proud man to accept his help. Between his conscience and his lingering feelings for the man, he can do no less, not while he has a roof to offer. His only goal is to help Emery get back on his feet and let the past stay in the past, but he should have known better than to believe he could be unaffected by the only man he's ever loved. Torn between his inability to forgive and his need to help, escaping this situation with his heart intact may be more than Josh can hope for, especially once he discovers that there are still things about Emery he doesn't know. --- Gorgeous Cover Art by @kataraqui https://www.instagram.com/kataraqui/ Theme Song Lifeline by Tiago Barbosa https://youtu.be/yYBIWrRim14 http://www.tiagobarbosamusic.com --- Utterly Forgettable started out as an Open Novella Contest 2020 entry.

We've all read Frankenstein. We've all read, seen, heard, or... tasted Frankenstein (don't look at me, Halloween has some funky food). We're all familiar with the sickly, stitched-together cacophony of human bits and bobs. Frankenstein. The creature, if you will. What we've forgotten is the monster it's named after. ***** In this modern spin-off of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," the mic has moved from beneath the creature's shriveled black lips, and beneath those of Victor Frankenstein. Pink, plump, and healthy, Victor's lips holds no resemblance to those of his notorious namesake. What surfaces from said lips may as well have been. As Victor faces the thing of his nightmares; this thing that seems to have been birthed from a grave, I just hope Mary Shelley isn't rolling in hers. Copyright © 2020 by Kyle Lee.
