![]() ![]() Talbot Wojewódka is an NFL quarterback who has been traded to the team from his hometown. This is a fictional account of what it might be like if an active playing in the NFL were to become the first “out” player in the league. Talbot must brave walking through his closet door and into Powell’s arms, and Powell must risk his heart one more time by standing his ground and giving Talbot a second chance. For any hope at a win, they’ll have to change up the game. When an interview meant as a publicity play throws them into each other’s path, they’re forced to face a love that never quite died and wounds that never fully healed. Powell’s also back, working as a cameraman for KJOC-TV, following two years in Amsterdam and a second failed relationship. One knee surgery and a trade later, Talbot finds himself back in town and quarterbacking for the Raptors, a struggling expansion team. Powell wanted to live honestly, while Talbot felt he couldn’t and still succeed in professional football. Three years ago, cameraman Powell Perdue and quarterback Talbot Wojewódka called it quits, citing irreconcilable differences. ![]() ![]() Keywords/Tags: Short Story, 2013 Daily Dose – Make a Play, Sports, Athletes, Football, Closeted, Media Intrusion, Second Chances, HEA ![]()
