It's an ordinary day at work for Daisy, when an explosion at the nearby oil refinery rocks her world, causing her to question her values, her capacity for forgiveness, and mostly, her ability to love.

I almost made a big mistake here. I almost didn't read this story. Nothing in the title caught me. Nothing in the synopsis really grabbed me. I haven't previously seen enough stories by this author to have started automatically reading her(?) work - though "Best Served Warm and Buttered" was a lot of fun. In the end it was the author's blog entry that caused me to give the story a try.
Folks, we have a winner! Daisy might be any waitress at the corner cafe in a small town, John just another worker at a refinery that keeps the town alive. Two ordinary people whose story is told here with both poignancy and passion.
The story is technically top shelf. The author uses perhaps a few more adjectives than I'd have suggested but they're well chosen and evocative.
There's as much sex as I can imagine comfortably fitting into a story this short that is most definitely not a stroke story. The sex is presented well and fits the story seamlessly.
The real surprise of this story is how the author manages to fit so much plot into such a short story without ever once making it feel artificial. It's tightly written - everything is important to the story - but it never feels forced or sparse.
