women

This is a tale about the two-hundred angels that chose to walk the earth and take mortal women as wives, teaching them the secrets of the heavens. What happens when mankind become so intimate with creatures from the higher realm? Who will be punished? Who will survive? The events in this short story take place thousands of years before the events in the novella Lucifer and Lacious, in which the story spins-off from. dispatch three, "Girl" by Elizabeth Ellen, is a tale of sex, ghosts, and intrigue. Here is the first paragraph: I found Jeremiah at the edge of the diving board, his back rounded to me, contemplative. I held an open bottle of wine. It was late October. We weren't prepared for the cold. I reached into his shirt pocket, retrieving the cigarettes I knew him to keep there. I shook two into my palm and transferred them to my mouth, waiting for a light. Our bad habits had brought us together: our chain smoking and tendency to continue drinking into the night. It was a small town in which we lived, a small circle in which we socialized—and most of those who made it up, our spouses included, had believed us for some time to be having an affair. We weren’t. The irony is that the two times we’d tried, once a year ago in the front seat of Jeremiah’s truck and now on the floor of the abandoned room, we’d failed in frustration. The first time had been easily rationalized: too little space, too little time, nervousness, fear of being seen, of being caught. Out here, these excuses didn’t hold. Ninety miles from our homes, holed up in a deserted motel few people knew about or remembered. And yet, even here, with all the time in the world and no one but the universe to record our sins, we’d failed to complete the act they’d already begun punishing us for.

Here is the first paragraph: I had just dozed off when the phone rang. Lately sleeping has become like a kid's game, like hide-and-go seek. I would hide under the blankets and hope that the coughing spasms wouldn't find me. Because when they did, they dug their rusty fingers into my neck, and breathed their dusty breath down my throat. I was actually developing coughing muscles on my stomach and sides. Visit litareview.com for the latest issue and this issue in other formats. dispatches are always free.
