"Farewell" by Nick (romantic nostalgia) 9, 9, 9 http://www.qz.to/erotica/assm/Year98/11082.txt --- http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=351990785 "Farewell" by Nick (nick@cassandra.demon.co.uk). http://www.qz.to/erotica/assm/Year98/11082.txt --- http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=351990785 The narrator is watching his nextdoor neighbor drive away with her new husband. He had grown up with the girl, basically holding her in contempt but then becoming attracted to her during adolescence. The story is a sort of poignant take on the "road not taken" theme. It's good stuff! Ratings for "Farewell" Athena (technical quality): 9 Venus (plot & character): 9 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 9
