Ma/Fa Stories

The French Quarter, Christina, and the mystery of Summer. The Summer saga comes to its crashing conclusion when the true nature of Summer is revealed.

This story is a little bit offbeat for me. It's intended as an homage to a couple of excellent stories with similar themes published earlier by a couple of the best writers on SOL. Readers will recognize the genre as the story develops, but I don't intend to give it away at the outset. Warning to strokers: This story has some sexual content, but it is limited and slow to develop. / (Reviews)

Brother and his sister marry a brother and his sister. One brother and sister hold a secret that the others do not know about - they are long time lovers with alot of tension between them. One day they are discovered in a ski cabin. What would the reaction of their spouses be?

Playwright John Guare came up with the phrase "six degrees of separation" -- four words to describe the phenomenon of a shrinking world where any random two people can discover a link through a chain of acquaintances. This story suggests a route through physical connections from a homeless British woman to the President of the United States. But beware - this isn't a light fantasy. The links on this chain are rusty and loose - and they hurt those who are joined by them.
