Controversial Challenge {Residing Dreams Excerpt}

Okay, this is one chapter excerpted from the story I am currently writing, titled “Residing Dreams.”

“But maybe to a point, the taboo parts of life need to be acknowledged.
Maybe some things aren’t so taboo after all; not as much as other people make them out to be.
Think about it. There are many controversial issues in society.
Perhaps someday people will have a bit more compassion.
Trust me, the world needs it,� Casimir remarked.

I knew he was in deep thought.

“Do you think homosexuality is taboo?â€? I asked him.

“Well, to tell you the truth, I don’t really know. We can talk about anything when we’re together, however sheltered we may be from the outside world.
But, the matter is, when you’re also living in a house with all of these prudes, nearly anything is taboo to them.
So that’s why I could never ask anyone about the other meaning of ‘gay.’ I merely read books about it…..” Casimir [replied.]

To get the full story, check out all of “Residing Dreams.”
