On the night before his draft of The Declaration of Independence is due, Thomas Jefferson sends his trusted servant Jasper to fetch more writing supplies. It is a task Jasper jumps at, knowing he’ll be able to spend a few last precious moments with Myles, the stable boy, before Jefferson and his staff leave Philadelphia in the morning.
But just as their love begins to fully blossom in the lantern-lit stables of the Graff House, the drunken stable master threatens to end not only Jasper and Myles’ romance, but their lives as well. Can the love of an African-American servant and a white stable boy overcome hatred and cruelty? And will their declaration of love be enough to give Thomas Jefferson the inspiration he needs to finish writing one of the most important documents in human history?
The Declaration of Love is a short 5k-word story about fighting for the right to love whomever you choose. It is set in the year 1776 and contains an interracial romance and themes of racism and homophobia. Warning: For historical accuracy, this story contains some language that is no longer appropriate in our world and is in no way condoned by the author.
