Bringing bisexual voices together
Billie Prime
I’ve changed access to this story - now everyone can read it for FREE!
https://writteninshadows.wordpress.com/2017/03/21/billie-prime/
The story comes as a PDF, so I realise it’s not great for some screen readers. I’ll try to create other versions in MOBI and Kindle-friendly formats. But for now, I hope you enjoy my tale.
Synopsis
Billie has always had a love of science-fiction and fantasy. His dreams of aliens take a strange turn when shadows around him start coming to life to try to communicate with him. The apparitions continue when children who say they’re from Billie’s past come to visit him, making him question his sanity. When one of the children asks him to change history, Billie is forced to look at his own legacy of violence and neglect that he has buried in order to live a normal life. Billie has to question the possibility of time travel and the multiverse, in order to help one of the children escape a terrifying life of abuse. Billie also has to ask himself if any of this real or is this all in his head?You can now read this short story (20,000 words) for FREE. Survivors of Child Abuse and violence are likely to be poorer, so I wanted this to be available to them. Copy and distribute if you like, but this has a Creative Commons Non Commercial copyright filed. Please don’t go charging folks for reading this!If you have any comments, feedback or general questions about this story, please feel free to contact me at billieprime@gmail.com

I decided to put the complete zine on surviving child abuse up on this blog for free. You can download, print and read it. You can also repost it with Credit to Jacq Applebee.
There is a massive trigger warning – abuse on this zine. Please be gentle with yourself whilst and after you read it.
Why free? Survivors of childhood abuse (especially People of Colour) are more likely to experience poverty. I usually sell this zine, but it is too important a subject for me to keep aside for those able to buy it. Plus, with many of my followers living outside the U.K, postage costs are prohibitive. So I hope everyone gets something out of this free resource.
All the best,
