Short look into the mind of a woman without past, without future, and with a very uncertain present. |

Original. Very original. Reads like a long haiku. (9/10)

Worth reading. More stylish than most stories here. Some pleasing poetic imagery together with a degree of eroticism. More please! (7/10)

Usually I find myself agreeing with Hyphen, but not this time. I think there CAN be poetry in prose, and I found some here, beginning with the first line or two. Milagritos -- little miracles, indeed, in an erotic story.
The topic IS rather banal, but it's hard to be original in this genre. I found the treatment of the topic quite original indeed. One of the rare stories that I read slowly enough to savor every sentence; it will not be to everyone's taste, and it doesn't work perfectly, but high marks to the author for attempting to imbue an erotic story with some poetic imagery. (8/10)

There seems to an epidemic of this nonsense going on these days. If you want to write poetry, then write poetry! If you want to write prose please follow the rules. There are reasons for rules, even in writing. They instill a form of discipline to the writer. I am quite intolerant of scraps of words hurled around like clumps of dirt from the hands of someone who lacks discipline, or is too lazy to try some. Then to top it off the topic is so banal and overworked that the mind boogles at such impertinence. (1/10)

While not usually a fan of stories under about 30K, this one could make me a convert. With a lyrical, yet smoothly readable style, it kept me interested while entertaining me with every line. I really cared about what fate awaited the narrator, which is remarkable for such a short work. (9/10)
