Zen was written and published before I heard about Zenon.

The young man in my story is real, and named as in the story. It would be inappropriate to alter his name in the tale because of Zenon's death. It would be similarly inappropriate to suggest that the tale be a memorial of some description for Zenon.

I wonder, though, if we might pause a little and think about those gay teenagers whose emotional state means that a setback may trigger self harm.
