One Saturday Morning by Tyler Battaglia

If you woke up one day to an empty house, your spouse and even your cat gone, would you follow them?

When Joey wakes to his husband missing, his first concern is to wonder where Daniel could have possibly went. His second concern is to wonder, what is that strange light, that strange music, calling to him? If Joey follows—will he find his love?
