"Eruption" by Marsupalami (mythological sex) 8, 8, 8
"Eruption" by Marsupalami (ladyzak@celticfire.com). In Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and in the movie "Risky Business" the earth moves when people have a really great orgasm. In this story the people have it backwards. Erertria has to have sex soon. Why? Well, because the earth is moving: "All the forces of Gaea and Hephasteus are at work. Such a child conceived at this time would grow to be a great leader, whether it be a boy of girl-child." "Erertria, think!" said her mother. "You could die in you quest to create this child." Good point, but also a great pick-up line. I wonder why the people who make the disaster movies haven't thought of this theme. Simple sex and violence pale in comparison with sex during a cataclysm. The names and a few of the customs in this story are Greek, but the story is not written in the heroic style of the ancient Greek literature. Nevertheless, it's a pretty good story. Ratings for "Eruption" Athena (technical quality): 8 Venus (plot & character): 8 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 8 |
