Not to mention scary; they say to beware a woman scorned but being turned into lipstick and gradually worn away is horrific.
And very very good: this is an excellent story and I did feel sorry for lena, which is a neat trick since she's practically a goddess, so I'm glad she got a man who appreciates her in the end.
The only disappointment was the relative lack of sex: it's almost all implied, however this was still a great pleasure to read.
Thank you
Well written and well thought out. It would be nice to see this world explored in greater scope.
A true pleasure to read something written by somebody who is a writer and knows how to hang the words together.
What a breath of fresh air to a previously jaded reader.
My sincere thanks for the kind words, everyone. Much appreciated, and great encouragement. Hopefully another nightmare - or just a pleasant dream, if I am lucky - will inspire another story. Someone suggested further exploration of the same reality of this first story; I hadn't considered that before, but maybe expanding on the Lena-verse (?) would be fun. I'm open for suggestions ...
It fits the day perfectly. If your future stories are of this caliber you've got a fan in me.
Loved it :) Great Halloween story. I look forward to reading more from you.
wow, thanks for the wonderful tale. you hit the mark on so many levels. great developement and finish. just loved it.
You've done an excellent job of rewriting your bad dream and I'm sure that if you had your head examined you would only be told you have an active imagination and great skill at storytelling!
Interesting premise with the red lipstick and gloss as the focal point...Looking at the way you write, I am going to assume you are female :) Please continue to write more such stories.
Great character development, great story, and perfect revenge - loved it!
Just found your story and looked for more but there are none. Sometimes inspiration doesn't come very often, but I sure enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing
Helluva good story, good character development, good plot, and a lesson learned.
