The Colossus Of Rhodes

By Chris Lewis Gibson

SHE HOOKS HER HANDS IN MY HAIR. "I believe in you." She kisses me on the mouth and says: "That's what friends do."Ryan Laujinesse comes home from college with no idea of what to do with the rest of his life. Cecile Turner enters his life again having no idea what to do with Ryan. Jayson Laujinesse is graduating high school, entering the world his brother just left and tired of it before it even begins. Each of them deals with a past violence. Each of them has three months to look back on twenty years of the lies they've been told, and the truths they've tried to live. COLOSSUS is about several things, but primarily its about the acts of making love, and keeping it.THE PLACE SHE LIVED IN DIDN'T REALLY MATTER so much as who she lived in it with. And he needed to know that. "A place is a place and home is home," Cecile said, squeezing his hand. "For me- wherever you are... That's home."
