"Trip" by Deirdre (an65862@anon.penet.fi). Something has gone awry in the Universe. As you may know, I have a theory that Deirdre is really Sherwood Anderson reincarnated. Now I discover that she's my husband!! Or perhaps Sherwood Anderson has bilocated while being reincarnated. All I know is that when I nudged my husband in the middle of the night a month or so ago and said, "Do you ever think of doing it with another woman?" he replied, "A nice thought, but you are all I want." Those very words appear in this story! I guess other possible explanations are that Deirdre has been sleeping with my husband, that Deirdre has a recording device in our bedroom, or that maybe millions of husbands and wives regularly recite this same dialogue; but the bilocative reincarnation is more in line with a Deirdre story.

A major difference is that the fictitious Deirdre is more persistent than the real-life Celeste in bringing the threesome fantasy to fruition. Actually, Deirdre has another one of her surprise endings here; and I doubt that you'll guess it, even if you're looking for it.
