it wasn’t often one would see a motorcycle gang celebrating pride in a town that historically never participated. then again, deadwoods finest always seemed to surprise him. these were the same folks that took him in at the age of seven and gave him a support system. he owed them more then they could ever realize and it was them who forced him out to celebrate with them. one of the female pack members even coaxed him into her salon chair and dyed his hair from it’s natural flaming red to a sultry silver color that actually impressed him. dressed in grey sweatshirt that read, “feed the good wolf,” with a pride symbol under the wording - giles couldn’t help but chuckle some. as music blared throughout the streets of dell rapids, the man lost himself in the music and just continued to dance on his own. as sweat beaded on his brow, giles made use of towel he’d been given from a local vendor and wiped it away. the man was clearly here to have fun and so it caught him off guard when someone stepped behind him, tapped him on the shoulder and asked him to dance. “sure thing.” he smiled not caring who it was that asked him.

sidors lodge was a perfect headquarters for a weekend of fun. this was his very first time attending pride and he was eager to explore what was promised to be an adventure of a lifetime. alone and on his own, bram got dressed in an outfit that would make him feel more comfortable within a street full of colorful people. when he thought about pride and what this represented, there came a smile to his features as a tongue raked over his bottom lip. already the man had started to drink and immediately knew another drink was in order. in fact - he shared no shame in doing a shot with a group of college students who happened to wave him over and compliment on his overall “everything.” flattering as this was, bram smiled a devilish grin and down the shot that was obtained just for him. trading numbers with the crew, abraham waved them goodbye and set off deeper into the streets of dell rapids. it wasn’t until he got lost in the massive crowd that he ventured towards the sidelines and settled in at a sidewalk bar. “i knew this place would be crowded but i never realized this many attractive people existed in our town.” he chuckled as he ordered a beer and one for his neighbor.
