SUMMARY: The nameless male narrator of this story wants to sleep 
with Liz when he first meets her.  After he hears her story, he 
just wants to comfort her.

COMMENTARY: This isn't a very upbeat story, but it is a very well
written one.  I only found it to be somewhat arousing.  It is 
told in a very soft manner, and yet there is quite a bit behind 
the words that are used.

If I wanted to be picky then I would point out that when Liz 
refers to her brother as a loaner, she probably meant to say that
he was a loner.  I didn't notice this error until I was reading 
the story for the second time, but -- what's that?

No, I'm not sure what you are referring to.  What did I just –- 
oh, I see.  In other words, the verdict is in and based upon my 
own criteria, I am picky after all.

In summation, despite the fact that I was not aroused to a 
significant degree by this story, I was touched by it.  That by 
itself, is enough to make it worth reading in my opinion.

OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: 8.0 (out of 10)

         - Arousal: 3/5
         - Editing: 5/5
         - Plot and Characters: 5/5
