As I said in a previous post<\/a>, I’ve waited a long time for this.\u00c2\u00a0 I keep looking at the name on the cover.\u00c2\u00a0 Gordon sees fit to give the story an adult WARNING<\/em>, so I suppose I should too.\u00c2\u00a0 Any adults out there?\u00c2\u00a0 Never mind.\u00c2\u00a0 Here’s the first paragraph to get you started:<\/p>\n

Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s start with the part where you won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like me much, then take it from there.\u00c2\u00a0 No excuses.\u00c2\u00a0 I was married to a nice man with a little girl three years old, when I fell in love with another man and left my husband, lost my child in the custody battle, and ended up in the high Rockies with my lover.\u00c2\u00a0 He changed.\u00c2\u00a0 What did I know?\u00c2\u00a0 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d known him nine months when he shot himself in our cabin, the dead of winter.\u00c2\u00a0 I dragged him outside so he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d freeze solid and I could figure out what to do with him, but before I figured it out, something dragged him off.\u00c2\u00a0 When the thaw came, I got down off the mountain.\u00c2\u00a0 I live in the city now, a different one from where my husband lives.\u00c2\u00a0 He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s remarried, moved on.\u00c2\u00a0 My daughter calls her stepmother Mom last I heard, though she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s old enough by now to have a daughter of her own.\u00c2\u00a0 I leave them alone.\u00c2\u00a0 That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the only thing I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m proud of in that story, not that I ever tell it.\u00c2\u00a0 So that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s who you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re dealing with.\u00c2\u00a0 In case you think it matters\u00e2\u20ac\u201da person\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s best-forgotten, sordid past.\u00c2\u00a0 For what it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worth, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve changed too.<\/p>\n
