This thread keeps making me smile. Mad, thanks for the great idea, and a big thank you to all contributors. And now Mad and MO have boldly entered the realm of serialisation...

I’d like to encourage those who are toying with the idea of contributing a Short of their own to do so, please! and give us a few lines to dream, think, laugh, wonder, shudder, drool...

Mad, you know that I am a fan of your style.
Methinks the lady’s outpouring as they drive away is a little too much to be spontaneous. Sounds kind of well-rehearsed to me...

MO, you sure know how to put lustful grins on your readers’ faces. I love your story. In terms of writing technique, I like the way Mark’s other senses are enhanced by being unable to hear or see. Now if you’ll excuse me I’ll go and join the voyeurs on the couch.
