The Long Ride Home

Jack is heading home for Spring Break with some news and he isn't looking forward to it.

Ever since his Sophomore year began, Jack has been living a completely different life. Coming to terms with his true nature, Jack has spent the year living as Christine and addressing issues that he long denied he had.

But now it is time to head back home and his parents have never met their daughter and Jack had decided it was time he came clean. But first, he needs to find a way to tell them. He has put all the trappings of Christine in storage and has returned to the way his parents would expect him to dress. But he can no longer live a lie and he is hoping a long bus trip alone with he thoughts will give him some insight on how to overcome this hurdle.

This is a stream of consciousness piece where the inner, most intimate thoughts of a transsexual about to come out to her parents are exposed.

Eye opening, validating, raw.
