Deep loneliness forges lies, queer characters weaving elaborate ruses. Shame & self-sabotage w/ a sly & tender humor. Journey from coming out to self-acceptance, public & private deceptions, compulsion of the lie. Lies from loneliness. Some flash fic so short, leaves you wanting more investment. Fave=title story about impulse to hire a stranger to cover a lie to boyfriend. Squirming, rooting for characters even as they make a mess of it all. 2020
