      My Gay Prison Gang Fights Neo-Nazis

      Sep 7, 2018

      JOHNNY’S TOY SOLDIER

      Romance on the Go

      Angelique Voisen

      Chapter One

      The welcome home banners and the balloons hung limply against the background of my apartment, doing little to improve the listless mood of the party. Everyone here was there at the base months ago. We sent off five young men in fresh uniforms. Boys really, pretending to be men.

      Only three broken soldiers returned and none of the three were my brother, Eli.
