CUTMAN "Just because I’m a cutman, doesn’t mean I’m a man. It might take you a minute to figure that out from looking at me, but you can take my word for it. Fighters call me “sir” all the time, but I don’t really mind. In a way, it’s better. When guys say they like to watch two chicks together, you can bet they don’t mean me." A lonely stone butch falls for a female boxer in CUTMAN, a 2700 word hardboiled short story. Originally published in HELL OF A WOMAN, edited by Megan Abbott, Busted Flush Press. Now available for the first time on Kindle.
