Thad sighed, and cupped Jonah's sweaty head under his chin. "Maybe, Sweetheart... Maybe."
"I mean, the disease started in the south, it didn't even get to us for a while. I remember hearing broadcasts saying that the disease had JUST broken out in certain cities well after and well before it reached Bemidji."
Thad kissed Jonah. "I love you Baby... but my dad had a saying."
Jonah looked up at him, curious.
"Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. That way, all of your surprises are happy."
Jonah felt his eyes sting. "Yeah."
"I'm sorry Jonah."
The young man shook his head. "No. Don't be." He held off the despair in his voice to ask Thad a question. "Thad... What's gonna happen to us? Humanity?"
Thad thought about what to say. And then shrugged.
"I don't know what's going to happen. Maybe we'll do the same shit over again. The Crazies will all die, the government will come out of their hidden bunkers and eventually, we'll set up our old cities and empires. Maybe in history classes ten generations from now, they'll read about us like we read about the bubonic plague."
"Maybe we'll all die. Another disease will spring up, or maybe we're just too modernized to survive. We'll give up, and eat our pistols, or these new wild dog packs will tear us to shreds."
"Maybe, maybe we'll evolve. Learn from our mistakes."
Jonah was quiet. "I love you Thad." He whispered, kissing the older man on his soft lips, tasting the tender insides where the skin transformed from dark brown to a tender vulnerable pink.
Jonah rested his head on Thad's arm. "No matter what happens. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad that I'm not alone."

Anonymous5 months agoI feel like there are too many to be verbs and repetitive writing such as having more than two sentences starting with the same word. The plot is oversaturated and the sexual parts are a little overdone. This is the description of a story with a mediocre plot and writing. For those reasons I belive this story embodies a mediocre description of "gay," black erotica.
The narrative skillfully explores the characters' lives, aspirations, and the unique struggles they encounter both individually and as a couple. The author avoids stereotypical representations, providing depth to the personalities of Elijah and Malik.
The setting plays a crucial role, immersing readers in a rich cultural context that influences the characters' experiences. The story confronts societal norms, racism, and homophobia, showcasing the characters' resilience in the face of adversity. The narrative does not shy away from addressing uncomfortable truths, contributing to its authenticity.
However, pacing issues and a somewhat disjointed structure affect the overall flow of the story. While the initial character development is strong, there are moments of stagnation that may challenge reader engagement. Additionally, some supporting characters lack the same depth as the protagonists, leaving aspects of the narrative underexplored.
On a positive note, the narrative features a lyrical prose that enhances emotional moments, capturing the essence of love and resilience. The author's ability to create vivid imagery and convey emotions adds to the overall reading experience.
In conclusion, this unnamed story commendably explores love, identity, and societal challenges faced by two gay black men. While excelling in character development and addressing important themes, the pacing issues and underdeveloped supporting characters prevent it from achieving a higher rating. Despite these drawbacks, the narrative provides a meaningful portrayal of the complexities of love in a diverse and challenging world.
Anonymousover 1 year agoI really liked it. I felt that Jonahs size and shape were over explained while Thads and everyone else's were explained only sparsely. And I think part Two where Jess walked in o
n Thad and Jonahs love making needs editing. I think you said "Jonah" when you meant "Jess". But I LOVE zombie stories and I love m/m stories so, I'm a fan if this one too! Good job!
wawferalmost 7 years agoHe was awesome. He was exactly what Jonah needed to heal emotionally from what that rat bastard did to him. I also liked it when Jess walked in on them lmao š
David, though sad, I believe it was necessary for it to be him to kill the psychopath he had for a brother. It was an intense scene
