COMMENTARY: I like the way this begins.  The author takes 
the time to make the world that the story takes place in 
seem real; and does so quite nicely.  I was not as impressed 
with the rest of the story.  One of the characters, Destiny, 
seems more of a body than an actual woman.  She seems more 
like a go-between for the narrator and Denise, so that they 
can share the one thing that they never have shared with one 
another.  I got that impression more from reading into the 
story than I did from just accepting what the narrator told 
me.  I say this because the story left me a bit flat at the 
end and wondering what the hell it was supposed to be about 
in the first place; so I reread it a couple times and that's 
what I came up with.
