Summary:

After joining a avant-garde-splatter-queer-punk group, Oz has the worst performance of his life. Dejected, he prowls the streets in search of something to help him shake the shame. But a scent snatches his attention and leads him to a mysterious doorway hidden in the streets of Los Angeles.

Spike, on the other hand, receives critical acclaim after his performance of "My Soul is Wrapped In Harsh Repose". But after rejecting another dreamy poet, he desperately searches for one last mind-blowing lay. It's the least he can do before fighting in yet another world-ending battle.

When the two meet again, their romantic and sexual horizons are widened beyond their lustiest imaginations.

Tortured my self Thinking of you Life’s on a shelf My mind wont move Trying to forget The pages you took I dont want them back Dont want the book

wouldnt finish writing Cause I ran out of plans might need and ending Hell, dont know where it began

When you find you need/want/– me I’ll be thinking if Im like water to you Or toys to a kid

If youre unsure Look inside Know I saw that fire That you worked to hide
