Abstract
This short story follows the traumatic experience of rape and gendered violence of Darren. Caught in a world where some things are accepted, while others are hidden away, he attempts to live his life as genuinely as he can. But, as he relives his experiences, he shows the complicated power dynamics that many LGBTQIA+ children face with paternal figures, as well as the prevalence of statutory “corrective” rape. Through therapy Darren can move past his experiences, but many LGBTQIA+ individuals continue to bear these scars in silence. This story is a homage to those who have experienced this pain.
