Hello, theladystouch.

I think 1,500 words is fine for short story. (I think the official number is 1,500 for a vignette, and 15,000 to 2,000 words, but don't quote me.)

Your piece, in my opinion, is good and well written but I'm so sure it's really a 'story' is it? To me, it reads more like an introduction or first chapter of something much longer. I think if you were to post it here, in Library library, as it is, you would be disappointed with the generally low rating it might quite possibly receive from disppointed readers who look for a whole lot more--no, not more words but sex, and lots of it.

On the nit-picky side, some more pedantic critiques would say it's not a good idea to include similar names--George and Georgia unless it's for a specific reason.

Otherwise, very nicely crafted and well done.
