Polyamorous Family Unit
A Novelette by Lisa Heidle

10-year-old Dan Myers navigates the complexities of family life when his parents, Dee and Pete, invite Kent into their home. As the family dynamic shifts, Lyle, Dan’s troubled 14-year-old brother, struggles with feelings of betrayal and embarrassment as he tries to find his place in a household that feels increasingly foreign.

With each passing day, the bond that once held the Myers family together frays. What begins as a seemingly open-hearted expansion of love quickly spirals into chaos, leaving young Dan to witness the unraveling of everything he once considered normal.

A decade later, 20-year-old Dan reflects on the impact of his family’s choices. He embarks on a quest for understanding, seeking to reconcile the boy he was with the man he is becoming. Through poignant memories and painful truths, Dan confronts the delicate balance of love, trust, and identity within the remnants of a family torn apart.
