The Flame

This is an adult romance not meant for teens.

What is it about us that attracts us to the wrong people? We all have a flame in our life, something or someone we should avoid or else be destroyed by. Many of us can’t resist the temptation and get burned. Will they?

Jill has such a flame, she is a lesbian and in love with her best friend Mary. If she goes for it she will lose their friendship forever but she imagines how good it can be if Mary says yes.

Jerry’s flame is strip clubs. He meets all his women there and wonders why the relationships never work out.

Barbara’s flame is the one night stand. Her girls keep telling her that sleeping with a man before you learn his name is the problem but it doesn’t register, she doesn’t lead with her brain, she leads with her heart and softer regions.

Mary’s flame comes from a bottle. She can drink a man under the table and appear sober while doing it. If she doesn’t stop, death awaits her, but it so damn good and makes the world a better place.

Robert’s flame is the “forever after syndrome.” He has played around for years and is now wealthy and looking for a woman to share it all with, to grow old with. Marriage and children are on his mind and he has the misfortune of meeting Mary.

Like a moth to a flame, death awaits the breaker of the bulb. How many will be burned?
