Ydych chi wedi darllen y llyfr hwn?

Today's book is 'Queer Square Mile' edited by Kirsti Bohata, Mihangel Morgan and Huw Osborne, published in 2021.

This book is a collection of LGBT+ Welsh stories, from the 19th Century to the 21st. My favourite stories are 'The Man and the Rat' (1941) by Pennar Davies and 'Christmas' (1929) by Kate Roberts. Both are very sad, but important to the history of LGBT+ Welsh literature.

Little Loomis

Part 10

Request: Yes or No

“Crazy being back, isn’t it?” You tore your gaze away from the Ghostface mask and cloaks set on top of lampposts, the torn up cloaks swaying with the wind. You looked at Sidney and sighed, sliding your arm around her shoulders. Sidney wore a maroon dress and dark heels, her shoulder length hair pulled up with a hair clip. She looked similar to the old Sidney and you couldn’t be prouder.

“Yeah, it seems like the town has made a big mockery of what happened.” You muttered. The town remained the same. It’d been years since you last set foot in Woodsboro. The town only held bad memories for you and returning to it felt like a nightmare. But, Sidney had decided to add the town onto her list of stops during the book tour.

“I heard your books are quite popular here.” Sidneys’ publicist, Rebecca Walters, chirped with a bright smile. The young brunette enjoyed talking but most of the things she spewed felt fake and ingenuine. However, Sidney liked her so she’d be around for longer than you liked.

“For the wrong reasons, I presume.” You muttered, feeling Sidney pinch your side and raise her brows at you. Sidney turned to Rebecca with a polite smile, lifting her hand and placing it on Rebecca's arm.

“It’s a touchy subject.” She explained softly, taking a step back to admire the way her book had been set up in the bookstore with Rebecca. You felt Sidney take your hand after, the cold metal of her engagement ring pressing against your skin. The feeling brought a smile to your face. The long awaited proposal had been accepted with tears and nods. Dewey and Gale had been thrilled to hear the news. Hank and Neil had been told at the same time and nothing stopped Neil from crying. Your father, as stoic as ever, held his composure but his partner had informed you he had cried the way home.

“You could write an autobiography too. Clear up your image and speculation.” Sidney pointed out softly,

“I’ll keep it in mind.” Truth be told, it was an idea that had crossed your mind plenty of times. The thought of putting your life out when you and Sidney had done so much to keep it private. Plus, you had your father and his wife to think about too. He’d be painted as a neglectful father and cheating husband.

“I know you see a lot of negatives, but you also have the good memories. Your mother wasn’t just a killer... She was also a grief-stricken mother. You can acknowledge they were killers while also bringing up what led them to that point. Your father changed for the better. Who knows how many fathers are going to read it and realize they need to do better before they lose their kids?” Sidney gave your hand a squeeze as she spoke, thanking Rebecca when she opened the door to a bigger bookstore. Sidney shook the owners hand and walked towards the section her book had been presented on. She addressed the gathered people with a smile and began her speech.

You could only admire your fiancée as she spoke. The way she carried herself with confidence and grace. She was no longer the cold and paranoid woman the killings had made her. With the help of friends and therapy, she had been able to return to that warm person she had been once upon a time and her newfound happiness was clear to see. It still made you flustered to think that in a few months, she’d be your wife.

“There’s that look of love everyone raves about.” You looked at Gale with a small smile and hugged the older woman. She’d certainly aged but she still held that fiery look in her eye.

“Seeing some gray hairs, Gale.”

“Oh, shush.” Gale huffed, slapping your arm gently and rolling her eyes. Sidney wrapped up her speech and watched the readers linger around the bookstore, turning towards you. Her eyes softened and a smile spread across her face, approaching Gale with open arms.

“I’m glad you came, Gale.” Sidney murmured softly.

“Congratulations, Sidney. I haven’t had a chance to read it yet.” Gale leaned back and glanced at the book, a look of longing passing her eyes.

“I know where you can get one.” Sidney replied playfully, eyes flickering to someone behind you and Gale. Her eyes lit up and she walked past Gale, embracing Dewey.

“Glad to see you!” She smiled widely. You noticed the way Dewey tried her copy her bright smile but failed. Instead, a familiar look appeared on his face. The same look he had whenever the killings started and they had no suspects.

“Dewey, tell me-” The sound of sirens drowned out your voice and Dewey sent you an apologetic look. He took his hat off and held it to his chest, addressing the people in the bookstore.

“Excuse me! This will only take a minute. I need you all to stay where you are and remain silent.” Dewey called into the store while a blonde officer got the lingering readers back into the store. Rebecca scoffed and approached them, a frown on her face as she stared at Dewey. Sidney turned to look at Gale for answers but Gale looked as dumbfounded as everyone else.

“Can this wait? We’re running an event.”

“Ma’am, this is a police event now.” Dewey responded. Gale cleared her throat and stepped forward, quietly speaking with Dewey.

“Gale, this is police business-”

“I’m talking to my husband, Deputy Judy.” Gale addressed the blonde in a harsher and louder tone, glare focused on her entirely. Deputy Judy leaned back, clearing her throat softly.

“Listen, there’s a phone we believe was taken from a crime scene. Deputy Hicks has been able to trace it back to these coordinates. The rest is.. confidential.” Dewey explained quietly before stepping forward to address the crowd once more. You could only sigh and pull Sidney closer. You squeezed her shoulder and peered down at her. The same thoughts ran through her mind, you could tell from the frown on her face.

“Told you I had a bad feeling.” You muttered to her, hearing her sigh. Dewey held up his flip phone and a distant ringing came from outside the bookstore. Another officer called to Dewey and the crowd quickly shuffled outside to see the location of the phone. You held onto Sidneys hand and stared in confusion as the officers approached the rental Sidney had gotten.

“Dewey-”

“Not now, Sid.”

“It’s my rental.” Sidney continued. You slid your hand into your pocket and took out the keys, tossing them to Dewey. He pressed on the button and the trunk opened with a small ding. When it was pushed further back, you closed your eyes and tilted your head back after seeing the sight. Red liquid smeared on the a picture of Sidney with a knife and phone resting neatly on top.

“This is an officially crime scene. Everybody back up!” Dewey called, the officers around getting civilians to back up. You lowered your head and rubbed your temple, opening your eyes to look at Dewey.

“Please, tell me this is a prank, Dewey.” Sidney plead in a desperate tone. Dewey could only press his lips into a line and shake his head solemnly. You cursed softly and followed Dewey to a police car. You got in the back of it and leaned your head back.

“I’m.. I’m still going to be in the wedding, right?”

“Yes, Dewey. You’re just doing your job.” You replied. Dewey let out a relived sigh and began driving to the station. The ride allowed you a better look at the town while Sidney and Dewey spoke. Some shops had stayed the same while others had changed but the town still looked normal with just a touch of modernism. The station soon came into view and you found yourself reliving the day Billy had gotten released.

“I always hated this place.” You whispered, getting out of the car and following Dewey inside. Dewey led you to his private office and shut the door, taking a seat at his desk.

“I know you two well enough to know you had nothing to do with it. However, that won’t be enough to convince other people and.. I fear if this is a copycat like the last five have been, you two are in danger.” Dewey explained. You noticed Sidney rubbing her arms and slid off your jacket, setting it on her lap. She shot you a grateful look and put it on, leaning back in her seat. Before Dewey could go on, Gale and Deputy Judys’ muffled voices got louder.

“Oh, Jesus.” Dewey sighed and stood up, opening the door and allowing you to step out with Sidney. You sat down on the chairs by the office and let Sidney take your hand into hers.

“I’m sorry-”

“Don’t apologize, Sid. Sooner or later, some asshole or more would’ve gotten the same idea. It’s the anniversary of the first killings, Sid. I’m surprised it took this many years for another copycat to start up again.” You reassured her, squeezing her hand and leaning over to give her a kiss. Sidney exhaled, shoulders slumping.

“I really thought we had escaped this.” She muttered softly.

“Hey, Sid. Your cousin, Jill Roberts, is here. Apparently, she and a friend received calls from the victims phones.” Dewey explained.

“Oh, my god.” Sidney whispered, standing up and following Dewey to the office where her cousin was. Sidney and Jill hugged, exchanging a few words before Jill waved at you. You returned the greeting with a small smile, placing a hand on Sidneys’ hip when she leaned back against you.

“So, you got calls.”

“Yeah.. What’s your favorite scary movie.” Jill responded, looking back at Dewey.

“In the killers voice, like from the Stab movies. Or, well, you know.. Your life. I’m Kirby, by the way.” The blonde, Kirby, sitting beside Jill spoke up, albeit somewhat without thinking. A little awkward from the sounds of her introduction.

“And the killer didn’t call you?” Deputy Judy questioned, glancing up from her notepad.

“No.. Is- Is that a bad thing? Does it mean I’m not gonna live as long as these two?” Kirby asked, glancing between Dewey and Deputy Judy with a concerned look.

“No. Well, maybe.. I mean, of course not. Just be careful, Kirby.” Dewey cleared his throat awkwardly and stood up. Sidney sighed and scratched her forehead, facing Dewey.

“We shouldn’t be here, Dewey. We should leave town.” Sidney spoke softly and quietly.

“I’m afraid that’s not possible, Sidney.” Deputy Judy piped in. You glanced at the blonde and cocked a brow, noticing the way she glanced at Dewey with admiration.

“Look, nobody thinks you’re involved. But, everyone’s a suspect.” Dewey explained with an apologetic look.

“Plus, there was evidence in your car. You may be material witnesses.”

“But, you’ll be on 24 hour surveillance.” Dewey added to what Judy said. Sidney let out a soft scoff, shaking her head.

“As if that’s worked in the past.”

“Well, you two did plan on staying with us for a day or two. The offer is still on the table.” Jill chimed in, leaning forward and resting her arms against the table. Sidney gave her cousin a smile and nodded.

“We’ll escort you through the back and drive you to the Roberts residence then.”

After answering a few more question, you and Sidney were taken to her aunts place and shown to the quest bedroom. Sidney let her hair down from its bun and sighed, collapsing on the bed. You joined her on the cushy bed and stared up at the ceiling.

“Dad told me it would be stupid to return.” You muttered. “Said that the town never cared about the Loomis family, even before what Billy did. Dewey says nobody suspects us but what he really meant was nobody suspects you. No matter what I say or do, I’ll always be a suspect first and victim second.”

“I don’t ever want to hear you speak badly of my soon-to-be husband again, you hear me?” Sidney raised her brows and got closer, grasping your chin and tilting your head. Her eyes were warm and soft, full of love.

“It could just be a prank and if it isn’t, we’ll survive. We always do, don’t we?”

“I’m tired of being stabbed, Sid. I have a scar on just about every limb.” You heaved yourself up and slid off your jacket, tossing it onto a nearby chair. Sidney sat up and scooted closer to you, resting her head on your shoulder.

“Well, in a few months, you’ll get to officially call me your wife.” Sidney pointed out with a sweet smile. Inhaling softly, she bit her bottom lip. “I still can’t believe it.”

“Mom said dinner’s almost ready. Dewey said he wants to talk.” You and Sidney turned to look at her cousin. Sidney nodded and stood up, thanking Jill and heading downstairs. Jill gazed after her before looking back at you.

“I should warn you about Kirby. She’s got a bit of a crush so she might come off as awkward but she means well.” Jill explained. You hummed in response and stood up, giving her a nod and walking with her downstairs.

“She seems sweet.” You muttered, gaze flickering to Kate and Kirby.

“Come help us set the table, (Y/N).” Kate called. You nodded and leaned down, kissing Sidneys temple and patting Deweys shoulder. You walked over to Jill and took some plates from her, setting them down on the table.

“Excited for the wedding?” Kate asked with a smile. “You must be nervous.”

“Yeah, a little. It didn’t hit me until I was trying on my suit and my dad just broke down.” You chuckled and shrugged lightly, smiling at the memory. The one time Hank and Neil didn’t seem awkward around each other. They were just two fathers who’d suffered terrible losses and were finally able to see their kids be happy.

“I can’t wait for you to see Sidney in her dress.” Jill piped in, glancing over at her older cousin. “She looks gorgeous in it.”

“Of course she does. Sidney looks beautiful in everything.”

“I can confirm that.” You smiled at Kirby's words and set the final plate down. Kate placed the lasagna tray in the center of the table while Jill got the bowl of salad. You sat down as Sidney bid Dewey farewell and entered the dining room. She took a seat beside you and got a slice of lasagna.

“Do you plan on having kids?” Jill asked, getting some salad and chewing on it. You glanced at Sidney and reached for your water, taking a sip. Sidney chuckled and looked at her cousin.

“We’re still thinking about it.”

“You should hurry up and decide while you’re still young. You don’t want to be taking care of a baby with an aching back.” Kate said, raising her brows at you.

“You two will definitely have cute kids.” Kirby added with a smile.

The rest of dinner was spent chatting about the wedding and how the two teens were doing in school. Afterward, you helped Kate wash the dirty dishes whilst the girls went upstairs. Sidney returned to the livingroom after her shower and you headed upstairs to shower as well, settling down in the guest bedroom with a book. You heard two soft knocks and looked up, seeing Deputy Judy.

“Just checking in.” Judy smiled, glancing around the room until her gaze settled back on you. She pushed the door open further and cleared her throat.

“Do you remember me from school? We shared biology together one year and we even did an assignment together. I was kind of shy back then but I considered you a friend.” Judy revealed. “I just wanted to let you know that I will do whatever it takes to repay back the kindness you offered.”

“Thank you.” You sat up and leaned back against the bedframe. The memory seemed blurry but you did remember befriending a blonde girl. You had grown apart after the school year ended.

“It’s a small world, huh?” Judy chuckled.

“More like a small town.” You muttered, hearing her hum. Judy nodded and gave a small wave, shutting the door. You looked back at your book and bookmarked the page, listening to the muffled voices of Judy and Sidney. You set the book aside as Sidney entered the room, opening your arms and letting her lie against you.

“I just caught Jills ex in her room.. It reminded me of Billy.” She muttered, nuzzling her head against your chest.

“Seems like sneaking in through windows will always be a thing for teens.” You replied softly. Sidney groaned softly and shifted to be more comfortable, finger beginning to draw random shapes against your shirt.

“If we have daughters, do you think we’ll have to deal with that?”

“If they’re as pretty and as popular as you? Definitely.” You chuckled and pressed a kiss to the top of your head.

“What would we name-” The sound of screaming and shouting pulled you away from the peaceful moment. You and Sidney scrambled out of bed and quickly entered Jills room, seeing her and Kirby pressed up against the window. You moved to stand behind them and caught sight of their friend being tossed on the bed, Ghostface stabbing the dazed girl in the stomach.

“Fuck, Sid, come on.” You left the bedroom and headed down the stairs, hearing Sidneys footsteps behind you. You pulled open the front door and went down the porch steps, calling out to the cops but the car looked empty.

“Shit.” You whispered, hearing glass shattering and turning your head to see Sidney opening the front door of the girls house. You jogged over to her and entered the house, slowly going up the stairs and entering the room. The smell of blood hit you like a truck. Blood had been splattered over her wall and floor, her body resting on her bed. If it hadn’t been for the blood covering her body, one could’ve assumed she’d been asleep. Sidney grimaced at the sight and turned towards the ringing phone, answering it and putting it on speaker.

“Welcome home, Romeo and Juliet.”

“Going after a defenseless kid? That’s a new low.” You called, turning away from the corpse.

“Spare me the lecture, Loomis! You’ve done well after all this bloodshed, haven’t you? How about the town you both left behind? I’ve got plans for you two. You’ll die when I want you to. Until then, you’ll suffer.”

“Sidney?” You heard Jills voice echo through the house and left the room, stopping her from entering the room.

“Don’t look, Jill.” You told her softly. Jill pursed her lips, her eyes welling up with fresh tears. Sidney blocked the view with her body and cupped her cousins face. You noticed movement out of the corner of your eye and pushed Jill away, the killer only managing to slice her arm. You managed to shove the killer back but he gripped your wrist, pulling you down with him as he fell down the stairs. You landed against the wall with a grunt, feeling the air being knocked out of you. You used the wall to push yourself up but Ghostface was quick to use his body weight to bring you down onto the floor. You caught his wrist before he could bring down the knife. A flash of color appeared by your side and Sidney shoved the killer aside, ultimately losing her footing and falling down the stairs as well.

“Shit, Sid!” You pushed yourself up and coughed, seeing Sidney kick the killer away into the hallway. You held onto the railing as the soreness set in making movement painful. The cops entered the house and Sidney gripped your arms.

“Are you alright?” She asked softly.

“My back hurts like a bitch.” You responded, getting to the last step and looking up at the whimpering Jill.

“Jill-”

“Don’t.” Jill snapped, glaring down at Sidney. A young man entered the house and assisted Jill down the stairs. You massaged your aching shoulder and leaned against the wall, taking in small breaths.

“You okay?” One of the officers asked.

“Look upstairs.” Sidney replied for you, cupping your face. You forced a small smile and answered the questions the other officers had, rolling your shoulders and attempting to ignore the pain. You followed Sidney outside and took note of the crowd that had gathered.

“I’m starting to get too old for this.”
