"Flowers" by Lord Malinov (rebound sex with a friend)
10, 10, 10
"Flowers" by Lord Malinov (malinov@mindless.com). {Link: dumped by Melanie and is in a bar, seeking consolation from Sarah whom he likes like a little sister, but who isn't his type, even though she has repeatedly professed her love for him. The alcohol renders him a sentimental idiot, and he badly wants to express his gratitude to this angelic friend. So they have wonderful sex together, and he wakes up the next morning at home and alone. That's about it - except for the thought provoking ending; but you'll have to read the story to find out about that. The story is told from the perspective of the guy the morning after. I have always wondered how drunks could recall so many details in order to relate a story like this so accurately. Or maybe they can't. Ratings for "Flowers" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 |
