"'Lapis Lazuli' is quite an enjoyable little gem. Although technically a 'science fiction' story, there's very little that's not mainstream in this work. 'Lapis Lazuli' (available from Fictionwise) is only 6 pages, but also packs a punch. An alien, exiled from his homeworld, lands in a gay bar, and the unnamed narrator takes sympathy on him. It's an interesting concept, executed well. This story is a great, quick read. Don't be scared by the 'science fiction' classification--it is approachable by readers of any genre."--Chris Gerrib, TCM Reviews
"LAPIS LAZULI," he said. "That my name."
He was not of this world, never from Earth. Not with those eyes, no.
He sat next to me, chewing popcorn and laughing, laughing, laughing at the jokes of a stand up artist at the gay pub. The comedian was doing a "Who is this guy?" feature, was rolling on a new gig, a Bill Clinton impersonation that worked so well it warmed patrons with mirth on that night of howling storm and feral wind. The performance was funny, so funny it almost brought the house down. And the decidedly beautiful alien chap beside me laughed heartily along with the rest of the mob.
