Against the Wall
1992.
Todd is twenty-five, new to AIDS outreach, walking the cruising paths with a bag of condoms and a name that isn’t his. The job is simple: offer, don’t chase, Just make sure they have what they need.
Then a man comes up the path who does not belong to the dark. Forties. Windbreaker. A mustache. He looks like someone’s husband, someone's dad.
What follows is one bad choice after another.
