A Story in the Naked In School Universe
I think others have tried transposing Karen Wagner's Naked in School idea to a British setting but Iam not sure. This is my attempt. Joey is a bit like one of my other characters but much more so. Intelectual but socially inept. Susan privilige, beautiful, bright, but damaged. They are thrown together by the program. Can they support one another through it.
A front man for a realty group has to spend a few weeks setting up a new condo complex. He innocently lunches each day in a local strip mall and one day happens to look up and see the most appealing woman he ever laid eyes on. His fantasy for her plays out in his head, but she sees his hungry eyes and recalls a time when her husband looked at her that way. Can she resist the chance to feel the passion and appreciation for her efforts to keep herself so appealing that her husband neglects?
This is a true story of the summer I spent at my grandmother's house in Indianapolis, Indiana. I was 16 at the time. During my walks around the area, I had noticed an adult book store on Washington Street (aka US Highway 40). I finally worked up the nerve to enter the store, figuring the worst that could happen was that I'd be promptly kicked out. I wasn't!
Boys & Girls, the Saga continues, crossing more family lines. This story is a note that I'm not dead yet. And it is a history-making event--Losgud's first follow-up, sequelesque piece. You do need to have read the original "Tandem" to catch all the nuances in this "Extra". If not, smart readers will catch on fast enough.
This belongs to the Asteroid Apocalypse genre. A retired Seabee captain keeps a large crowd alive during a 10-year vigil waiting for the earth to recover. I've modified it to reflect a more readable ending and correct many grammar/punctuation errors 2/7/09. I thank you all for paying attention to my little children.
