Masquerade #2

by Rylan E. Cole

Many things in life are quantifiable. Take me for example.
1. Age: 27
2. Number of true friends: 4
3. The amount of times I’ve been drunk: 3
4. Number of serious relationships: 2
5. Number of heart-stopping kisses: a big fat zero
See how those number declined drastically? Needless to say, my life is far from exciting, spontaneous, or adventurous. I’m an accountant. I love lists, numbers, and equations. But I’ve had enough consecutive lonely nights (573 to be exact), spend 10 to 14 hours a day working with no play, and can’t remember my last orgasm. Okay. The last one isn’t completely accurate. I know. Four hundred thirty-one days of no sexual satisfaction.

So I, Selena Harrison, have decided to shelve my borderline-obsessive need for order, throw out the usual rules, and dive right into the social deep end. What does that mean, you might ask? Well, I’ll let my official invitation explain.

Welcome to Masquerade!
As a new member,
we cordially invite you to
join us for erotic entertainment,
sensual experimentation, and a
night that will leave you utterly...
Breathless.

~ Dress formally ~ Masks required ~

I must be crazy, certifiably insane. My world is about to get a serious kick in the ass. My daily routine, my job, my perfect, uniform, predictable life. I can’t remain on this path I’m heading down unless I want to become nothing but a number.
