"Bracelet of Love" by Stephanie (stephanie@nym.alias.net). The woman buys an old bracelet that turns out to be magic. She had been beautiful before; but when she puts the bracelet on, she becomes the embodiment of feminine sensuality. This all happens within the first 449 words of the story; there are 11,597 words left in the story. What will happen next? Well, for one thing, the bracelet has the immediate but indirect effect of making the husband's penis become engorged with blood. Imagine that.

This is an amazing story! I'm not going to tell you more details except to say that the main effect of the bracelet is to turn the wearer not necessarily into an idealized woman, but into an idealized lover for the person who happens to be closest to the wearer. Oh, and the wearer cannot take it off; someone else has to remove it. As my Canadian sisters say, interesting possibilities, eh? Or, as the wife says in the story, perhaps it isn't a good idea to experiment with the bracelet in a hotel."
