Eliot's Hero by Bryn Colvin

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Eliot is a clandestine immigrate who works as porno star for a x-rate website. He is the main character in a photo story where, week by week, he is beaten and abused. Jake is the photographer and writer of the story and he begins to wander about Eliot: he notices that he has a blank expression while working and he is not an exhibisionist like other actors he has worked with.

And one day the fake scenes goes a little to wild and Jake refuses to continue. But he is knocked out and Eliot brutally beatens. When Jake awakens he has only one thought in mind, brings Eliot somewhere far and safe.

For a very short tale Bryn Colvin has managed to write a wonderful character: Jake, a very common and simple man, not striking and not daring, who becomes the knight in shining armour for Eliot.

It's a very tender and compelling story, very real and touching
