SUMMARY: A man sits on the balcony of his hotel room.  He 
accidentally drops his sunglasses off the balcony.  That's 
where the story begins.  That's where the story ends.

COMMENTARY: This is a good one.  I like the author's touch.  
The plot progresses neither too quickly nor too predictably.  
In particular I like the imagery at the beginning and the 
end of the story.  Speaking of which, read the beginning and 
the end of the story carefully.  Everything may not be as it 
initially seems.

This story will probably appeal more to men than to women.  
I say that because the male character is much more fleshed 
out than either of the female ones are.  Which is not to say 
that Beth and Monica are identical, just that the primary 
characteristics that distinguish them from each other are 
physical ones.
