Razorblade Tears

 Fiction by S.A. Cosby


Tagline: A Black father. A white father. Two murdered sons. A quest for vengeance.

Ike Randolph and his grown son Isiah have had a difficult relationship. Not only did Ike spend much of Isiah's childhood in prison, Ike has been less than supportive of his son as an adult. When Isiah and his husband Derek are murdered, Ike is devastated and wracked with guilt, mourning over the son he'd lost and could never reconcile with.

Derek's father Buddy Lee finds himself in a similar position, and both men decide to channel their mutual grief into vigilante rage when they realize the police aren't getting anywhere in the investigation into Isiah and Derek's deaths.

This was a good story, and much more character-driven and emotionally deep than the tagline makes it sound.
