* "The Rocks" by Mark Aster (childhood) 10, 10, 10
* "The Rocks" by Mark Aster (MyFrThAl@aol.com) This story is preceded by this unusual disclaimer: "This story does not contain explicit sex of any kind. If non-sexual stories offend you, please stop reading at once." What kind of pervert, you might ask, would post a story like this? Actually, taken in the context of the entire Allen Sisters saga, this story is about sex in a very indirect way. My husband is by no means a pedophile, but he once told me it turned him on to see my parents' home movies of me as a child. He liked my innocence, he said, apparently in comparison to the sophisticated sexual dynamo I have become. Likewise, since readers of the whole series know that Pat and Julie are incredibly sensuous adults, it is sensuous if not actually sexy to see this snapshot of them at an early age, discovering the differences between boys and girls. The main difference, as the story reveals, is that boys throw rocks a lot more often than girls.
