There’s nothing quite like a beautiful naked woman in the morning. Very well drawn, with the jarring complication in the last sentence.

Gorgeous moment, full of great visuals and a casual sort of romance. I think it could have stood on the strength of the narration without the cliffhanger ending, but that does present more of a possible story continuation.

Full disclosure: I’m trialling scenes for a longer piece of writing, and I find the restrictions of the ficly format help focus my mind.

This is the same protagonist from Solo – http://ficly.com/stories/24835 – but at an earlier point in her life.

This is an exquisite exposé into the world of a student of art. It is very well done, indeed. Ah, so the canvas on which you paint is far grander then you wish to reveal, and so we are left waiting with insatiable appetite, as a mite longing for a morsel.
I do suggest, nevertheless, that the last “release” in the second paragraph be something other than the first “release”. Perhaps it should read as a “freeing” or a “liberation” of sorts? But of course, you are the maestro and I am but an amateur.
