Things Didn’t Cost as Much Then

Scott C. Sickles

Zeke and Beauregard wake up at Zeke’s house realizing it is much too late for them to be there. They then freak out because someone has covered them with a blanket and turned off the tv. They try to make an escape plan, but it ends up being unnecessary. Zeke comes back from a conversation with his grandpa who is supportive and has a powerful queer story of his own.
