Chapter 57

“You’re an asshole, Robert. Nothing but an old faggot and asshole. Don’t even think of trying to blackmail me with pictures. Don’t fucking play games with me.”

I can’t remember him picking me up with his muscular frame and throwing me into the pool. I can’t remember much of the next few minutes in the pool. I can’t remember craving oxygen, needing air, dying or drowning or being murdered by him. I can’t remember any of it. I canremember blueness, though…liquid-blue mixed with the taste of chlorine…and wet photos floating around my sinking body like tiny corpses…pictures of young men kissing, hugging, licking, smiling, and fucking on a familiar bed. I can remember pictures of Tacoma’s dick being sucked, and a picture of a dick being pressed into an asshole, and a picture of the pool boy cringing as he was being violated by a cock…and…and I saw blackness. Nothing but pure blackness. Blackness. Blackness.52: Survival
