All Comments on 'Lucky Thirteen'

It's so great to read a nice tight little story like this, with a refreshing use of language and understated sex. The game of 13s was fun. Thanks for publishing.

I given it a 5 on concept alone

Thanks to everyone who enjoyed and voted so far on my story.

I promised that there are thirteen intentional thirteens in the story. For those interested, here they are.

Spoiler Alert – it’s probably worth reading the story before reading through these since the list may not make much sense if you haven’t read the story first.

1. The title

2. The description, being my thirteenth story

3. The billiard ball I miss potting

4. The songs are off The Doors album “13”

5. My next relationship will be my thirteenth

6. It costs $13 to get into The Duck

7. Although Peter doesn’t actually say it, The Duck is charging $13 for the drinks.

8. I tell Cathy that she will be my thirteenth.

9. And she tells me that I will be her thirteenth. I wonder if she’s telling the truth?

10. Her name – the ones her parents call her, Katerina Black, is thirteen characters long.

11. Although we don’t actually say it, I live at street number 13.

12. Kat makes sure I thrust thirteen times when I’m coming.

13. Let’s take my word for it that I was hard again in 13 minutes.

And finally, some may have noticed that I was lucky a Kat Black crossed my path. Happy Halloween!

Very nicely done. I don’t read this category often but it was a Halloween entry, so I decided to give it a try. Glad I did. Thanks for writing it so we could enjoy it.
