Huddled over an open flame

Poles hanging over

The rocks edge

Music swirling around us

Ducks quaking along the current

liquid courage altering us

First: our shirts are gone

More wood for the fire

More touching skin to skin

Second: your pants leave my sight

Less space between us

Less time to calculate my next move

My hands find their way

Up your back and through your hair

Your hands find their way

Around my waist, down my pants

Kerplunk!

Down went the bobbers

Up go the poles

There's our chance, gone in the night

It's nice how at first it's veiled and the title doesn't let on so much about it. Then you read and it's like oh, oh oooh. It was fun reading even though I didn't get the ending at first and even if it shoulda been rated you can't guess what it's about right away, giving it an air of mystery and all. The title got me curious and that's a good thing because at first you'll be like fishing at night is ridiculous, okay lemme see then wow. Great job.

Thanks! Night fishing is actually fun because you can catch certain fish that are asleep during the day, and you have to tie glowsticks onto your bobbers that attract the fish. :)

Oh. I don't fish, do I didn't know that, thanks you just taught me something new.

Hey, I just wanted to say , I thought this was really interesting - like you can really write! I loved the title which is why I clicked on it - sounded quite dark and mysterious at the time :P . I love your description of certain things ... "music swirling around us" makes it sound like liquid flowing round you like the waters that you're fishing in. Also "more wood for the fire" I thought was interesting ... I thought the fire could have been literally a fire - OR resembling the passion between the two people. I loved it - awesomely ambigiuous.

My only criticism - the ending line I feel could've been more dramatic and more definite. But that's just my opinion - hope this helps :)

First off thanks for the rad review! And, secondly, I love your avatar! Twinies!

Ahaa gotta love the Simpsons!
