Title: Truck Me Back to Normal
Author Name & Publisher: J. D. Walker (MLR Press)
Publication Date & Length: February 21, 2016 — Short story
Joey Choi doesn’t think he can have a relationship with anyone because of his PTSD, but Barrimore Lancett sets out to prove him wrong.
Joseph “Joey” Choi has been to hell and back. A war veteran, he was in a bad place for a long time until his brother Derrick got him the help he needed. Joey figures the least he can do is learn how to do things on his own, for a change. His first step is to apply for a job at a farm.
Barrimore “Bear” Lancett, the farm’s foreman, is larger than life and seriously hot. And God, those dimples! They both have a “moment,” but Joey immediately pushes those wayward, intimate thoughts aside, convinced he’s not relationship material, much less with his boss.
That doesn’t stop Bear, and after an argument which leads to a fist fight, he gives Joey the kiss of a lifetime. Now, Bear just has to convince Joey to take it one step further, and maybe find his new normal.
