SUMMARY: Felicitas Ramirez is a cop who enjoys the thrill of 
selling her body.  She explains her problem to her partner, 
Frank Williams.  He has a hard time coping with the reality 
of her situation, but not because he doesn't care.

COMMENTARY: I like this story, but it is not a technical 
masterpiece.  I can see what the author is trying to do with 
the story, but I do not think that she is entirely 
successful.  One problem that I have with the story is that 
it flows much too quickly.  The reader is not given enough 
time to absorb what is going on.  Another problem that I 
have with the story is that there is a lack of subtlety.  
Things are explained much too explicitly.

I do like the characters.  They seem realistic, but if the 
author could have done a better job with some of the 
elements that I spoke of in the last paragraph then maybe I 
would liked them and the story a little more.

        - Arousal: 4/5
        - Editing: 5/5
