"Mint in Your Throat" by Mary Anne Mohanraj (rape)
10, 9, 9
"Mint in Your Throat" by Mary Anne Mohanraj (moh2@rainbow.uchicago.edu). This careful how often I use the next paragraph. If I use it too often, my readers are going to begin to think I don't really read the stories I review. If that's not the case, I'm going to start wishing I had used this paragraph more often on college exams, when I couldn't remember what the story or poem was about. Anyway, this is a good story, but I don't want to tell you much about it. Most of the fun is in discovering the details for yourself. I'll just say that a woman is pulled into an alley by an inept rapist and then convinces him that she is a hooker and charges him for the sex. For the rest, you'll have to read the story.
