So, while the details of the story didn’t work me, I do have to say that the writing itself was pretty darn tight. Nice, deft handling of the dream sequences and non-cringe-inducing writing in the sex sequences. Gill Ainsworth will be someone to watch for.

Transition silence gaps still seemed a little abrupt.

Thanks for listening

“He seriously thought that there is less harm in killing a man than producing a child: in the first case you are relieving someone of life, not his whole life but a half or a quarter or a hundredth part of that existence that is going to finish, that would finish without you; but as for the second, he would say, are you not responsible to him for all the tears he will shed, from the cradle to the grave? Without you he would never have been born, and why is he born? For your amusement, not for his, that’s for sure; to carry your name, the name of a fool, I’ll be bound – you may as well write that name on some wall; why do you need a man to bear the burden of three or four letters?”

Gustave Flaubert, NOVEMBER (1842)

Still, nice twist.

I should have known how this would end. I had to stop listening to a story yesterday about a chick who had her baby hacked out of her womb. Last week I was at Body Worlds & nearly walked unknowingly into the “fetus exhibit.” I have had a few more incidents, but I think you get the idea…

Have you ever tried really hard to avoid something and then it freaking haunts you where ever you go? shiver
