The "T" In Destiny...
An LGBTQ+ Short Story
I couldn't wait any longer.
There was a witch passing through, who'd known my truth with a look. She'd offered a potion to change the outside to match, but I wanted to warn my family first.
At least it meant I wasn't a Seventh Son. That rarely ended well.
"Mother, Father..."
I blurted out everything, from never feeling right to the witch's offer.
My father thumped his head on the table. "Damn it..."
My mother explained, "There was a prophecy about our daughter. We thought we were off the hook when you were born male."
Well, this was awkward. "Sorry?"

“Here you are ladies, early as usual.” Anton informed his six gorgeous passengers. “Same time again tonight?” Anton had landed one hell of a gig this time. All he had to do was pick up six exotic dancers at the same place and time, then drive them 20 minutes down the road. Each girl gave him $20 to drop them off, and another $20 when he picked them back up.

Wow well done! Could continue as a novella or YA novel.
Love it
Very well written. You brought your story across clearly with emotion and honesty. I subscribed to you.
Yay, you did this one! Some friends and I were commenting on that prompt a few days ago. Yours is really good ❣️x
Interesting prompts, nice take on the prompt.
This is a great story and relatable to so many who have done or are going through the same thing x
At least they weren't upset about the trans part.
