A Greater Power

It's April 29th, 1969 and Andrew Davis has just turned twenty-one. What does he want for his birthday? Acceptance for who he is. Andrew is a good boy, smart, goes to church every Sunday, and is on the college baseball team with one huge dirty secret. He knows he can't tell anyone, it's a sin after all. Andrew Davis is gay.

Charles Turner sits by the schools baseball field, smoking his cigarette , looking out to the lights of New York. Charles knew when he was sixteen that he was gay. He told his parents and his father just beat him while his mother disowned him. All alone he joined a gang of misfits on motorbikes, all different like him. He worked his way up the ranks, and has the reputation to match. Needless to say, he was very surprised when star player Andrew Davis asked him for a light.
