Boat Spotting

by Dylan Horowitz

Ash & Eden are two queer men working at a beach resort together. They've been casually seeing each other in secret. However, while Eden is happy keeping things as-is on the down-low, Ash is not and wants the world to know how he feels about Eden. A decision will have to be made as the two engage in their favorite at-work pastime: boat spotting.

    A perfect look into summer love and what it means to love someone. Dylan Horowitz masterfully brings this story to life with wonderful world-building. You feel as if you're right there on the dock with these characters as they battle through society together. I had the honor to voice Ash in Broken Arts Entertainment's audio recording of this piece! Such a fun and intimate character to bring to life.

    Very nicely drawn portrait of those special feelings, and the feelers who feel them. I loved their shared game with the stories of the different ships (by the way, Doug is NOT a boring name!). Well done.

    What a lovely exploration of the fear and the euphoria, the yearning and the retreat that run through first love. These young men are vividly drawn and engaging. Eden's description of his desire to join Ash in the ocean and the fear that kept him out is a gorgeous reflection of his core dilemma. Though they have different tolerances for going public, there is a sense of something solid at the core of their connection.
