I have summoned up courage to go back to the original story, originally published here on Big Closet which was written from the heart with no planning at all. Readers’ comments were helpful all through, so now, I have tried to develop the characters to be the real life people that they are through the events that really took place in the early part of the tale. The fantasy parts which make the second half will be revised and embellished. I hope you like it!

Only the Lonely….

There’s a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we’re often told, "seek and ye shall find"

Looking everywhere, haven’t found him yet
He’s the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret

As the plane was nearing cruising altitude, it hit an air pocket or some such thing and took a 'hop'. My hand gripped the armrest like a vise and I furiously chewed the wad of gum in my mouth; it had lost all of its flavor almost an hour before.

"It's okay, miss. You don't have to worry." The voice on my right spoke softly. I turned to see the most beautiful blue green eyes I had ever beheld. He was staring at my hand.

Chapter 19

Embers Dying, Spark the Flame.
By Way Zim.

A brief explanation;

This story is a mixed vision, fantasy and reality, the core of which was a dream I’ve experienced on and off over the years.

Within this work of fiction are many truths merged with make believe including idealized representations of people I know and respect.

It will be billed as “Fear Factor” meets “The Bachelor”. Out of twenty-four contestants vying for the right to marry Mr. Right, one will secretly be a guy. If “she” survives the elimination rounds and makes it into the finals, when intimacy is to be expected prior to the climactic episode, all bets are off.

Andrea Messenger tossed the pitch sheet onto the tablecloth and poured skim milk into her muesli. Where did Hap come up with these ideas?
