Caleb McDonnell lives his life online. A thirty-year-old fast food worker, he spends his time talking in an Internet world where his job and living conditions can’t dictate his friendships. He’s found acceptance, friendship, and even romance. But when an online friend is revealed as a fake, Caleb loses all sense of trust. To stave off the emotional collapse of his betrayal, Caleb leaves his online life behind and retreats into the monotony of his job.
Nicodemus Rokos feels like his heart has been torn out. He knew Caleb would be hurt, but he’d hoped not to be shut out of his boyfriend’s life. He can only hope Caleb still feels something when he shows up in person to reclaim what he’s lost

About the Author:
Ashavan Doyon spends his days working with students as part of the student affairs staff at a liberal arts college. During lunch, evenings, and when he can escape the grasp of his husband on weekends, he writes, pounding out words day after day in hopes that his ancient typewriter-trained fingers won’t break the glass on his tablet computer. Ashavan is an avid science fiction and fantasy fan and prefers to write while listening to music that fits the mood of his current story. He has no children, having opted instead for the companionship of two beautiful and thoroughly spoiled pugs. A Texan by birth, he currently lives in New England, and frequently complains of the weather.
Ashavan went to school at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, getting his degree in Russian and East European Studies, with a focus in language and literature. He has two incomplete manuscripts from college that he goes back compulsively to fiddle with every so often, but is still not happy with either of them. He still loves fantasy and science fiction and reads constantly in the moments between writing stories.
Ashavan loves to hear from readers and can be reached at : ashavandoyon@gmail.com

Hi, when is the closing date for posting the short byte?
Sula: We’ll take responses until midnight on Sunday 6/8.
Just a glimpse of him, a smile, blue eyes, black hair, tall, slim, enjoys romantic times and dancing.
Just a word with him, lets you talk, lets you be who you are, lets you feel safe.
Just a life with him, secure, happy, contented, through happy times and sad.
And another one:
Writing a story might guarantee a date with an interested male reader, maybe more, it was not something Grayson could miss out on. Keyboard to screen, he wrote about zombies, vampires, even mosquitoes, but then found out that they wanted a short byte story not a bite story! But he is cute, maybe that should win it for him?
What you say you wanted: no strings; no names; hot kisses; lingering touches; heated glances; power play; safe play; one night to remember.
