"Spare Change" by Dafney Dewitt (dafneyd@ix.netcom.com). This is not a sexy story. If you want to get a hard on or get your juices flowing, I am almost certain that this story will not help you. As a matter of fact, the story nearly made me gag. Literally. On the other hand, this is a very GOOD story. It's an example of what we literature teachers call Naturalism. That is, it goes beyond realism and shows how really fucked up life can be. This is also an example of excellent feminist writing - although I cannot say for sure that the author is a female. It's a thought-provoking commentary on how some men treat women.

The story focuses on an affluent man and a beggar woman. The man decides to get his sexual jollies by humiliating the woman, and she turns the tables on him in a very interesting way.

This is also the first story that I know for sure has gone through my Volunteer Proofreading Service. I cannot comment on what the story would have been like without that assistance, but right now it's an excellent story. (Rating: 10)
