A quirky romance between two college students. This story began as a short story for a creative fiction class ten years ago and I've gradually been adding and re-editing it since. I'm reposting part one and adding the other three parts. There is no real explicit sex in Less than Half.
A Story in the Kobekistan Universe
In Kobekistan the Emir and his friends enjoy hunting, on horseback, with dogs. There are no foxes in Kobekistan so they hunt slaves, usually female, and the dogs they use are Irish Wolfhounds. Of course the "kill" is also different. Expensive slaves are not to be torn apart by dogs, so they are used to amuse the hunters. A little bit of everything hetero in here. Those of you who enjoyed Tamsin may well enjoy this.
First love in high school, and the mutual exploration that goes with it. Written in response to a challenge by Girl Friday at her Yahoo group for stories themed on a song.
She had a pockmarked face and a big fat ass. She was ungainly and lacking in social skills. Never mind that she was warm, loving, and, somewhere underneath it all, recklessly passionate. At 38 she was still a virgin.
