Countdown To Ecstasy
Two strangers on an almost empty bus…
Having suffered a brain injury as a child, LEONA lives with chronic and painful nerve damage – and the uncalled-for ability to read people’s souls. Her condition makes it difficult to build relationships, and her love life consists of a string of casual flings.
A deeply wounded survivor of an abusive marriage, freshly divorced SEAN struggles with feelings of guilt and failure. Despite being out of the dating loop and not quite ready to move on, he crushes hard on the young woman who rides the same bus every night.
When they end up together in a room the size of a shoebox, strangers might become friends, lovers or something else entirely.
(Short story told in two parts, alternating between Leona's inner voice during in present tense, and Sean rehashing the events that lead to their encounter in a countdown. contains descriptions of heated lovemaking.)
