Results Inconclusive

January 9, 2015June 24, 2015Leave a comment

Results Inconclusive, a story I originally performed as a live lit piece at Story Club Southside, is now published by Story Club Magazine.  It is a bittersweet story about growing up queer and nerdy and the scientific study of father-child relationships.  I hope you’ll check it out.

His mother, a staunch supporter of Willi’s talent, regularly took him on visits to the Apollo Theater, where they watched ballet together, and she would whisper encouragingly, 'That could be you.'"
