Relationships are twelve efforts ranging from 1,000 to 21,000 words, presented in the order I wrote them. They are all human relationships, some intense, some sexual, most featuring two people of different genders. Some are mild, some are shockers. Descriptions are spare; seldom if ever are even such details as hair or eye color mentioned. The point is how people relate to each other, or to a special culture. Only one, ?Dragon Girl,? has even a hint of the supernatural, and that's not conclusive. Nevertheless, some situations are remarkable. This collection is intended for mature, thoughtful readers who care more about character and idea than adventure.
