Chris and Nigel
By It's Only Me from Across the Sea
DedicationThis story is dedicated to John, the wonderful boy whom I fell for totally and for ever in September 1965 and never told until May 2001, regrettably by letter, not in person [I was, of course, rejected by being ignored]. We were both thirteen when I fell in love with him. "John, without loving you, I could not have written this tale, nor become the man that I am. The story is of my undying love for you, even though you never knew. You, John, made me feel alive when we were in school, and though you never knew, I hope you somehow felt loved. I am for ever in your debt." |

What people are saying about Chris and Nigel
I'm proud of the comments I've been receiving. So I added this section on 5 March 2000.
My vision of Chris and Nigel
I have, at last, found a picture that is not pornographic and is worthy of my two heroes. My vision of Nigel is in Chris's arms. This is as they first met, if met is the right word, in France.
