Summary

A couple celebrates their anniversary.

Commentary

My summary cannot begin to describe this story. It is a simple concept, but the way this author has done it makes it look like so much more. When I began to read it I thought I knew what the author was doing. I envisioned mechanical descriptions of body parts. I was wrong. He does not go into heavy details, but those he gives are more than enough to set the mood and stimulate the imagination of the reader.

It might have been nice to have seen the couple in a less amorous situation. What are their day-to-day lives like? We get hints, but that is all. If I wanted to be picky this is where my criticism would begin. If I reread it a few more times I might spot an awkward sentence or two, but I cannot find anything seriously wrong with this story. It is well written, well paced, and well told. The characters are not fully rounded, but they are real enough.
