Chapter 10, the concluding chapter to "On My Seventeenth Wedding Anniversary", has been submitted. If you haven't already done so, please read the entire story, and tell me what you think. It is a dark story, and reflects the shadows of a dark time in my life. Some thoughtful commentators felt that the male protagonist was, well, an asshole. They may be correct. Others thought the female protagonist got what was coming to her. They, as well, may be correct. In either case, the imaginings contained in the story both reflect my inner darkness, and (as fantasy wish fulfillment may indeed do!) helped in some way for me to work my way out into the light I presently enjoy. I hope you enjoy the tale, and maybe feel moved to offer different perspectives or feedback to me. Thanks for reading. (s) Reltney
