This made me squirm a bit. The way you go on the body is so good in this piece. Love the voice too.

Thank you, Maegan! And no worries about being subscribed -- having my stuff read by people is enough for me.

I’m hurting after reading this. And maybe a little queasy. And also glad I do not have a nipple ring.

My hope is that this short story will one day do to nipple piercings what ‘Jaws’ did to the ocean.
