Victor, adoring it. Only question is the use of "wonder" three times in as many breaths - was that deliberate?
She was brave and stuff but it would take more than she made on a redball to get her to step in that shower.

Dayum.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Thanks. If you don't know, a redball is around-the-clock OT(I know Deb does.) That's nasty, huh? Also, anything that makes people with guns back away slowly? Eesh. I kind of went with kind of an old-school fade-to-black for The Sex.Thoughts?

My thought is that you can unfade the sex, or leave as is - really, her reactions and what follows is, I think, more to the point and revelatory about Ms. Howard.
Also, the redball is also, by definition, a case that gets a lot of publicity and attention from both media and higher-ups.

Right, I forgot that.Still not sure about The Sex, but her memory's a little foggy anyway.I just wouldn't want to chicken out, but sometimes I don't like people's descriptions, anyway. (nobody here, of course.)

I'm not big on graphic sexual description, anyway; this may get me drummed out of the union, but I prefer most erotica to most porn, in the same way I prefer suggestive clothing to pasties and a g-string. Just a personal taste.

I know what you mean. And description of movement(of whatever kind) is kind of a weakness of mine, being that I do everything "special." And while it's no problem to say "Hey, mom, how do you sit when you paint your toenails?" this is kind of a different deal, to put it mildly. Forty years of family therapy, right there...

I just sort of prefer the imagined to the explained or outlined, in general, and that's not even sex-specific.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree...there are some writers that make me reconsider, but not that many.

Part of it may be my own grounding in magic realism and traditional ghost stories, at least as a writer. As a reader, I find "The haunting of Hill House" a hell of a lot scarier than something graphic and gory.

Well, Hitchcock would agree with you. At least about scariness...I don't think I've seen enough to comment on his sexual attitudes.
