SUMMARY: Jim is a writer.  His 14-year-old niece, Jan, isn't 
satisfied with the sexual education she has received from 
her parents.  She turns to him for enlightenment.  Once he 
starts explaining, one thing leads to another.

COMMENTARY: The thing that impresses me the most about this 
story is the author's restraint.  He doesn't push the story 
too fast.  He takes the time to set the scene and allows it 
to develop.  I was also impressed with the manner in which 
the author handled Jan.  She was both hesitant and eager at 
the same time.  That seemed realistic to me.  Jim, on the 
other hand, did not seem to be quite as torn between 
options.  He knew what he wanted and went after it.  I think 
I would have enjoyed this story more if he had been more 
like Jan, in that respect.  I was less impressed with the 
ending, than I was with the beginning.  The plot seemed to 
go out the window and the story devolved into a series of 
physical interactions with little or no plot development.

In my estimation this story describes a male fantasy, not a 
female one.  Jan isn't just a type or a body, but the story 
seems to be primarily about how Jim lived out one of his 
fantasies.  Jan seems to enjoy herself, but for the most 
part the story seems to be about him, not her.
