8. Highest Heights – Lovebugs
(Nick Duval)

by C.R.M. Nilsson

Nick had been into hard partying. The times when he was sober were few and far between. He preferred being drunk or high, as it kept the dull pain at an arm’s length.

It also gave him these wonderful visions of mountains and he never felt awkward. He could talk to girls and guys without being nervous. He became a stud in his mind and he couldn’t live without the feeling. He climbed to the highest heights and it was worth the inevitable fall. But he never really gained any head for heights: always going too far and always lacking somebody to catch him when he fell.

Then one day he came crashing down with a naked somebody in his bed.

A naked male somebody.

And suddenly he couldn’t lie to himself anymore.

Luckily this person, Alan Tanner, turned out to be the one to catch him when he fell.
