1/25/2016 0 Comments Vintage SydneyIn the early spring of 2003, a local entertainment paper ran a contest for stories told in exactly one hundred words, including title on the theme of love and redemption. Or maybe it was love or redemption. Six stories from thousands were selected for publication, in no particular order. We won glory and a gift certificate to City Lights Bookstore. In March 2003, this was my second published work: LOVE UNWANTED All I really wanted to do was sleep with you. I didn't want to know about the deck you built or your problems with your ex. I didn't want to know about your kids, the woman you had an affair with, or your Reflexology classes. I didn't want to know about your paper route, your out of body experience, or the I Ching.I didn't want to like you; I didn't want to care. I didn't want to let you go. I didn't want it to hurt. All I really wanted to do was sleep with you. Not sure how I feel about it from this remove...but once, somebody like it enough to print it.
