Behind the Scenes #4

In early drafts, Kent was more guarded — almost too guarded. Letting the cracks show made him human. And that’s when the story really started to breathe.

Meet the Setting

The town where Kent and Mark meet isn’t real — but it’s stitched together from all the places that shaped me. Small-town quiet, big-sky summers, and that feeling that everyone knows your business.

I re-blog this dude every time.  No special grooming, or lighting, or flexing.  Just a dude sitting in his back yard who smiled for a pic.  Hotter than any professional model or instagram influencer.

I’m picturing him saying “I’ve always wanted to try it”

Humanity has finally found a way to communicate with crabs, we realize they're smarter than us. Now that they know we know, what are they going to do?

We’re in immediate danger now that the crabs know that we know.

Thankfully he had jumped before Mark had seen anything, at least he thought so. Trying to ignore the conversation that had gotten him here, he climbed out, shielding his tenting cock with his left thigh, and headed back to his truck.
