Naturally, things just keep going from there. (Celeste's No. 3 story for all of 1997!) / (Reviews)

An Uncle Bob Story

Did you hear the one about the masochist and the sadist that met and fell in love? This is a not-quite-classic boy-meets-girl love story, but with a very strong BDSM theme. Caution - this is one of my first BDSM-themed stories and I was apparently very angry when I wrote it. It is very strong and very hot. Some parts of the story may not be all that realistic - so please do not try this at home.

What would you do if you suddenly discovered that you could ride along in people's minds, see what they saw, feel what they felt, experience what they experienced? Two teenagers find out.

A young man, haunted by disease and sorrow, faces his own death and the eternity that lies beyond human comprehension. The only thing giving him the will to live is a mysterious vision, a girl that exists only in his dreams, but the closer he gets to his death, the more the line between dream and reality blurs.
