ANDRE THE PROPHET
by Cleo House-Keller
Andre returns home expecting a graduation party only to run face first into his unreconciled past and discovering that his mother (Maxine) is missing. In a flashback, Andre recounts coming out to his mother but is interrupted by his sister (Angie) who wants him to detect if her husband is gay because as children Andre had prophetic visions. In a vision he sees his ancestors and sits down with them for a game of Spades. Through this Andre finds his mother and comes to the realization about himself and why he has been drawn to self-destruction.
