"An orgasm is "like winning all the Nintendo games at once." Those
words are spoken by an 18-year old girl to an 11-year-old boy while
both of them are watching from seclusion as two couples make it on the
nearby beach. The author has taken the story entitled "Rain" by Mark
Aster, which I reviewed in the last issue of CR, and has introduced the
perspective of the young boy and the other girl watching from a nearby
sand dune. I don't want to tell you much more about the story; you
should read it for yourself. It's a really sensitive and sexy story of
emerging sexuality. Although its title is "Rain," it's listed in the
postings as "More Rain."
