I didn’t intend it to read like she was drinking a 20 minute glass of water it’s just 20 minutes later cuz that’s the rule of the challenge—there are prequel possibilities with this challenge. There’s no clear cut gender distinction for the main character either, but as the challenge goes it’s a female because I’m male. I guess it takes some reading into.
Amazingly descriptive – the lake metaphor was nearly gothic, I think. And I like the turn of phrase “perverted eyes”. I don’t know why I like it so much, but I’ve gone back to read it several times now.
And you wrote this with completely clean language! I know (speaking as female-type person) in my own head I would have been cursing Doug up one side and down the other… grin.
I had no trouble recognizing her as female. Nor did I have a problem with the water. She probably drank a spiked glass of water and it took that long to kick in. Very nice job.
Hey! I really liked your story! It would make my day if you read my ficlet, titled “Residing Dreams.” It has many chapters, and it is coming along quite nicely. One tag for it is residing dreams. So just type that into the search box and all of my stories will come up. Don’t forget to leave a comment! I hope you enjoy my story as I have enjoyed yours. Happy Ficleting! TTFN .
