Long Live the Side

From the day Desmond had to pay for his sins in the streets, Juliette's biggest fear became that she would soon lose the boys the man left behind. Twelve years later, Desmond was back and all six of his boys were on a path away from the one he took - and he understood it was no thanks to him.

The youngest of the family, Legacy would be the first of his siblings to go to college, with early acceptance to Smithdale University's renowned medical program. Black sheep Rain continued to work on his drawings and purse his dreams of publishing his own comic strip. Dasun may have been on his second strike with the judicial system, but he hadn't given up on his culinary dreams. Even the twins, Heaven and Shadow, were beating the odds despite the missteps they had taken as teens. While Heaven was house arrest for his childish decisions, Shadow was living up to his namesake providing for his family while working with the family landscaping business. Then there was Heir, the eldest of the bunch who would never stop providing for the family he stepped up to take care of years ago.

Long Live the Side is a series of flash fiction stories following the lives of the charismatic (and problematic) Bannister Boys, as they chase their dreams - and their demons.
