Rogue Review No. 263 - November 17, 1998 Precious by Crimson Dragon F/M Length: 7,000 words Rating: Very Good Arousal Factor: Nonexistent Story Factor: High NOTICE If you are easily offended or under the age of eighteen then please do not read what follows. SUMMARY Janice has a very bad day. COMMENTARY This is not a happy story. The ending shows there is some hope for the future, but for the most part this story is very depressing. I liked the first half of this story better than I did the second. The first half seemed more alive. I could feel Janice' surroundings. In the second half, the world around her gave off less heat. That was probably due in part to her numbness. This is not a stroke story, by any stretch of the imagination. What sex there is in this story is not enjoyable.
