Shadow of the Bully

William has lived his whole life in the shadow of one man: the bully who once tormented him. But now, twenty years after leaving, he returns to his home town to confront the man who tortured him. But that man is dead, and in his place is his son, Jason, a twenty-one year old man who also lived under the thumb of his father's brutality. The two men find something in common: scars to compare and stories to share.
Soon stories are not enough, and William seeks to reenact those old humiliations, as a way to rob them of their sting, a project that Jason adopts with mingled enthusiasm and dread of his own latent sadism. But it's not Jason's sadism that they have to fear, because not all the bullies are dead, and some young men carry on the legacy of the cruel past. This gay erotic novella contains mentions of bullying, humiliation, threats of violence, and the use of homophobic slurs in erotic and non-erotic contexts.
