An Empty Bed
In his twilight, a lonely gay man reflects on his life and the three loves of his long-lost youth one woman and two men. Forced into early retirement by a heart attack, he wanders aimlessly through the graffiti-marred streets of his New York neighborhood. Familiar haunts trigger flashbacks of happy and not-so happy times. Could anything have been different? Could he have denied his true identity and married as his lover, Peter, did? Should he have? Would it have worked out? Could he have lived with himself? These seem to be the unspoken questions in the back of his mind. A phone call to the now-married man for whom he still holds deep affection, concludes this moving and very satisfying character study.
