Joseph never expected to see his brothers again. The brothers who had sold him into slavery as a mere boy. The brothers who had told his father that he was dead. But decades later, an unexpected reunion forces each brother to apologize, forgive, and become brothers at last.
This is a short story I wrote a little while ago, and I really ended up liking it, and thought I'd share! I'd been reading the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis, which is easily one of the most emotional stories in The Bible. I really started wondering what those first few days were like, when Joseph was reunited with his brothers, and this story was born! It was never meant to be read by anyone other than myself, and so it's written assuming the reader knows the story of Joseph. The original story of Joseph and his brothers can be found in Genesis chapters 37-46.

With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it.

Walls of Silence
In the shadowed realm of roaring engines and shattered dreams, two brothers, Pooh and Phavel, stand at a crossroads. Pooh, haunted by the ghosts of a shared tragedy, clings to the past, his heart a fortress of fear and regret. He pushes away the very person he craves, terrified that love will only lead to further destruction. Phavel, bathed in the harsh light of racing success, finds his victories hollow, his trophy room an empty echo of a lost brotherhood. He yearns for the connection he's lost with Pooh, believing the track, their shared sanctuary and their battleground, holds the key to their redemption. One brother, imprisoned by the past; the other, adrift in a lonely present. Can the high-octane world of racing reignite the embers of their brotherhood, or will the chasm of pain and unspoken words forever divide them? The answer lies in the roar of the engine, the screech of the tires, and the fragile hope that even broken hearts can find their way back to each other.
