Chapter 10

Information exploded in Jeffery's mind. He and Van were part of a brotherhood of bear-shifting men who made their own version of a family. They had just gotten through their first year together, and so much had happened that Jeffery couldn't absorb all the knowledge at once. But he knew enough to know he'd just become a member of a homosexual organization.

"Better to commit suicide than openly embrace the homosexual life." The words filled Jeffery's mind as he spoke them.

Josh stood. "What?"

"Better to commit suicide than openly embrace the homosexual life. Better to commit suicide than openly embrace the homosexual life." The voice was screaming the words in his head, and Jeffery spoke them aloud. It felt almost as if the voice had commandeered his body and was moving his mouth around like a ventriloquist with his dummy.

"Oh, shit." Josh pressed his hands to his ears.

"He's screaming in my head!" Van also covered up his ears in a desperate attempt to drown out the voice.

Jeffery knew that wouldn't work. He started humming, but that wouldn't make it stop in his own head, and somehow, by what Josh had done to him, Jeffery knew he was spilling the voice into the minds of every man in the brotherhood.

"Better to commit suicide than openly embrace the homosexual life."

"Jeffery, stop. Please." Josh reached for him, but Jeffery plastered himself against the wall.

"No touching! There can't be any touching. Touching makes for wrong thoughts." Jeffery wanted to calm down. He wanted to stop hurting people who were only trying to help him, but he couldn't get the voice to shut up. All his confidence and joy from yesterday evaporated. "The pills."

Van winced. It was clear he was trying to understand what Jeffery was saying as the voice continued to shout things at the group. It was in Jeffery's head, but he didn't know how to make it stop. The voice didn't want to stop. It was almost gleeful that it had found a way to infiltrate the minds of over twenty gay men and harangue them.

As Jeffery struggled to move, to get to his pants that were abandoned on the floor, the pants with the magical pills in the pocket, he felt immobilized by the voice. It was as if it had somehow gained a corporeal body and held him fast.

"Pills?" Van was still wincing, but now blood trickled out his nose, causing a new surge of panic to explode in Jeffery's mind.

"Better to commit suicide than openly embrace the homosexual life."

The voice was going to kill them all. The voice was going to use Jeffery to kill all those innocent men who only wanted to embrace him and give him a safe place to be who he was.

"Pants. My pants." Jeffery couldn't even lift his arms to point.

All the while the voice screamed.

Van dropped to his knees, crawled over Josh, and found Jeffery's pants. From the front pocket he took the bottle of pills and made his way back to the bed. The closer he came the louder the voice screamed, as if it knew the pills would kill it.
