Earth's the Right Place for Love
Mirko has not been sleeping and sees danger behind every post. As he is opening the front door of the apartment building he senses someone behind him. He turns around as she says, “Hi there,” in an exaggerated sultry voice. Mirko can feel the handcuffs tightening around his wrists, the slap of the policeman arresting him, hear his mother's wail in the courtroom as he is sentenced.
“Long time no see,” he forces his voice not to shake. “Dad isn't home yet, said he'd be late tonight.”
“It's you I want to talk to,” she says. “Invite me in?” She follows him. He puts the loaf of bread on the counter, the salami in the fridge. When he turns around she has her top off and is climbing out of her skirt. “I don't like old men that much,” she says. “We don't have to talk. No one will know.”
She is thin and her breasts sway as she walks to his father's bed. Mirko's mouth is dry but he follows, unbuckling his belt. He is on the bed next to her, finally naked when they hear the key in the lock. Mirko freezes but she laughs, puts her arms behind her head.

Lovely execution of the theme, and a wonderfully ambiguous but fraught ending. Liked this a lot, and Mirko really grows on one.
Thanks, David. Mirko grows on me, too. Perhaps forty or fifty of these and then a search for a publisher.
"Mirko's mouth is dry but he follows, unbuckling his belt." - how odd and perfect
Andrew, I like your plan for these tales. If you were to ask, "how does this grab you?" I would say, "it does." *
There is something about Mirko that seems to lure me to him, sort of like a Largemouth Bass to a jigging spoon dressed with pork rind. I think I might be falling in love. . . *
steamy stuff. and i can't wait for the ninth installment ;^) peace *
It sounds like Mirko could be in serious trouble. The woman is nifty, the way she doesn't care about anything. Captivating. Wished it had been a little longer.
Trouble and strife are the natural consequence of surrender, but Mirko knows this ... follows like a calf in the slaughterhouse. That's why you like him.

just great, Andrew and love the title! *
this is steaming, nice surprise at fictionaut. mirko looks more harmless than he is, the rascal.
love the title, too...
Thanks, Meg. I will treasure "odd and perfect".
Ann, I am so glad this grabs you.
MaryAnne, I am so glad Mirko appeals. He has bewitched me and I foresee many of his adventures are yet to come.
Thanks, Linda. A new one will be posted shortly.
I am glad you are captivated, Susan. Many instalments ahead.
Thans so much, James. I keep learning from you.
Thanks, Kathy. From you it means a lot. The title is of course Frost.
Marcus, I am thrilled you are reading me. If steaming is a surprise here, we'll have to do something about that, won't we?
You have a great gift for the unexpected. *
