Hello insect,

Forgive if tit's been said, but I think in L2 drunk shouyld be drank -
making 2 drannk's in the first S - for better or worser. Also 'an red faded'
doesn't read right to me. While on the subject I've noted a number of folk
spelling 'lose' as in to lose an item' with 'loose'. Is there a convention I
don't know about or is it just a common typo?

Intriguing tale - I was fascinated by the alphabet ordering.

Cheers,

Frank

>she found handles strange.
>He did not like hot liquids

>that she gave up vindaloo
>and turned to the sweet
>and aromatic dishes, with lots
>of plain boiled rice, pure white.
>He confirmed what she had

>He had an red faded picture
>of a stone light-years away that
>proved it. His eyes were as yellow
>as a wolf's gaze. She had sucked
>barley sugar, sherbet lemons,
>soft rich caramels. Her tongue
>recognised the colour. His pelt
>was flecked like a leopard's
>  and he preferred the shade.
>She had never enjoyed sweating
>in public. Their fingers
>interlocked.
