"Indefinite Antecedents - Grammar Unapproved by Celeste"
by JohnGalt (telephone exhibitionism) 10, 10, 10
"Indefinite Antecedents - Grammar Unapproved by Celeste" by John Galt. This story is a follow-up to my own "Review" and to Taria's "Seat of Power," both of which have been reviewed in previous issues of CR. As you may recall, in my "Review" I got hot while talking to a neighbor on the phone shortly after my husband had intervened with me while I was writing a review. In "Seat of Power" Taria approached the scene from my neighbor's perspective. In the present story, both my neighbor and I are on the phone. My husband is with me, and Rose's sextoys are with her. The dialogue is deliciously ambiguous - apparently about cooking but actually about sex. I guess you could say Rose has come a long way since the original story. Or maybe you could say Rose has come a lot of times since the original story. If we're not careful, Rose's sexual activities are going to be getting out of hand The story also contains a recipe for Seven-Layer Brownies, but you can see it only if you are pure of heart. I have to admit, I saw no recipe. However, I did see the cooking instructions: "You've got to butter the pan all over, especially the back." This was another good story, especially for readers already familiar with the first two. "The oven is set to hot."
