5th sentence, 74th page: Lying on his back, he could see the stars.

An incredibly sexual short story filled with intense innuendos and aliens.

I felt so very, very confused while I was reading this. So I figured that it might be a good idea to just share with you the dot points that I wrote as I was reading this. I’m not even sure I can make sense of what I was writing… I’m not sure I made sense of what I was reading… but it was fun regardless!

• Not sure if this is about sex or birth. Seems gross either way.
• SHE is giving birth to hummingbirds. And there was something about doves.
• HE is now pregnant (???)
• Basically, this story is fucked and I’m only on page 2.
• Every single sentence in this is super, super, intensely sexual. Like wow.
• The sexuality is ACTUALLY making me uncomfortable.
• The child is being rode (or is it ridden?)
• Alright, I’m THINKING that this short story is about immortality that we achieve in the next generation. I’m gonna think of it like that… this was WAY too weird.
