Read Senzale’s short story “The Bull” in Horrific Scribes.

Description: Bryant’s friends warn him about white girls, but when he responds to a late-night hookup request from a couple seeking a “black bull,” desire overrides caution. What looks like a transaction where he holds power becomes something far more disturbing. “The Bull” examines racial fetishization and power dynamics through a deliberately uncomfortable lens. You came for the eroticism; now sit with what it’s built on.
