The Taste of Red

Gabe was standing in the middle of a living room. He saw silhouettes on the couch further along the wall. He took several steps and squinted his eyes.
"It's okay, William. I'm there. Ssh."
"But I feel so desperate... !"
"Alex?" Gabe got closer.
"I can't go on. I can't deal with this!" William shouted. Alex slid a hand through his brown locks. "You've been through hard times, William. But Gabe won't hurt you again, I promise." The brunette lifted his head and looked up at the man. "You promise? He won't ever hurt me again?"
"Never ever."
Gabe reached out a hand but suddenly they were both very far.

Gabe saw his hand swirl into something else. The sobbing William disappeared, along with Alex, and Gabe found himself in front of Elisa.
"You prick," she said. Gabe shook his head. "William is mine now. Don't you dare come close to him. And Alex says that he doesn't want to see you again."
Gabe looked down at the floor.
"You're such a coward." He looked up and saw that it was his father.
"I'm not," he answered back.
"You are. You can't even dance like J.T. Sucks for you."

Gabe was back in Brooklyn.
He was standing in the middle of a small park. Around him, children stared and adults pointed fingers at him. A small boy walked up to him. "Is it true that you're... a fag?" Several grade-school girls giggled. Another boy came up to him. "You should really take off that necklace. It's fucking ugly."
Gabe looked down at his necklace and saw that where a face should have been was the word 'faggot' inscribed.

The trees were sucked up into the sky and the people around him vanished. Gabe looked around and saw nothing. As if heavy fog had fallen upon him, it was impossible for Gabe to distinguish who was coming his way from afar.
"Who's there?" he asked.
A voice rung out. It was neither female or male. "Try and guess."
"Are you tall?"
"Are you?"
"Yes. I am."
"So am I."
Gabe tried to get closer, but the more he moved towards the figure, the further it seemed to go.
"Are you a friend?"
"Sure, Gabe. Sure."
Gabe looked around for inexistant clues.
"Are you a boy or a girl?!"
"Funny you should ask."
And as the fog suddenly vanished, Gabe barely had time to see that he felt himself choking.
