* "Paint" by Mary Anne Mohanraj (old boyfriend) 10, 10, 10 http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=178473949 * "Paint" by Mary Anne Mohanraj (moh2@midway.uchicago.edu). When a favorite author writes a very short story like "Morningsong," I am inclined to declare a bonus week and do a second story. So here goes. A young woman is helping her best friend paint an apartment. Her former boyfriend, who is now dating the best friend, is helping too. It is a sweltering hot day. When the best friend goes out for more paint, the other two go for an unscheduled quickie.
