Confusion
By Severina
Once you label me, you negate me
- Kierkegaard
“I hear you’re having some problems with your cellmate, Tobias.”

“He apparently screamed ‘faggot’ for over an hour. How did that make you feel?”
“Are we in session?” Toby snapped. He immediately coloured. “I’m sorry, Sister Pete. I’m--”
“No, you’re right. None of my business.”
“No, it’s just… I almost understand Adam’s confusion. How can he know what I am when I don’t? How can I make him understand what I have with Keller when I can’t even explain it to myself?” He shook his head. “I only know that I’ve never felt this kind of… attraction… before.”
“To another man?”
“To anyone.”
