  COMMENTARY

This story is very arousing, but there is much more to it than just 
sex.

The narrator seems to be going through a bit of a depression when the
story begins.  He spends a night with Dawn, during which they have 
sex, but to me that was just the setting.  To me, the story is about 
what brings him out of his funk, which happens to be a night he 
spends with Dawn.

I like both characters.  They seem very real.  The plot is simple, 
but it works.  It works for me because it feels very real; in 
particular the emotional roller coaster ride that the narrator 
experiences during the course of the story.

There are a couple other things I like about this story.  It has a 
fair amount of dialogue in it.  I like dialogue.  The author picked a
great name for the narrator's girlfriend, Dawn.  Even though it might
sound a bit too cute as the title, the phrase "A Night with Dawn" 
kept running through my head as I read this story.
