   Summary

   Something settles deep within his chest and he finally allows himself to accept something that’s been thrown at him since he was just a little gay boy in Texas, soft and doughy around the edges, as he began to ruin his family’s name.

   He was going to Hell.

   ...

   For the first time since he took the damn thing and walked out of his Austin ranch house to get on the next bus to the airport to deploy, he picks up a pencil and makes his own annotation in his mother’s Bible.
