"The Sarabande and the Six Iron" by Mat Twassel (Mmtwassel@aol.com). In classical music the sarabande is a slow, stately part of a suite, often following a courante. A six iron is something that golfers use - between a five iron and a seven iron, I suppose.

"You can't practice piano forever. Sometimes you have to pee." That introductory line is much more creative than, "It was a dark and stormy night." That line also represents a recurrent theme: later on we find out that you can't drive forever either: sometimes you have to pee.

However, this is not a watersport story. Rather, this story describes a brief part of the odyssey of the beautiful, young, and talented Tammy Jondelle and Milton Cumbee, a quiet, black sixteen-year-old who thinks deep thoughts but says he doesn't like music, as they travel from Tammy's southside apartment in Who Knows Where to somewhere in Omaha. I guess I forgot to mention that Tammy is wearing no panties, because she left them on the roof of Milton's truck along with the cactus box because the roof was so hot that it burned her feet after she jumped onto it when Milton asked her for help while she was trying to masturbate after taking a pee because you have to do that sometimes, which is why you can't practice the piano forever, which is a recurring theme in this story.

You really should read this story yourself. This author is one of those people who think that sexuality is more charming and enticing if it remains quietly in the background. This was a very nice, gently sexy story.
