Hi Doug, This is a fun and gritty story. I could see this scene playing itself out on 43rd Street and Tenth Avenue in NYC, right after exiting the Lincoln Tunnel. I like the twist at the end of the story. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. Margaret ~ LateBloomer

    That's ok. With so many different types of contests, it's difficult to keep track of what is what. M

Don't you hate it when that happens? The slunk and shriveling in the last line were nice touches. Pun intended. What a wonderfully written and revealing piece. Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

OMG! What has this world come to... You certainly used your imagination with this one, Doug. Not only was your "victim" surprised, but so was the reader. Thanks for the laugh.
Smiles, Carol

That elicited a laugh from me, perhaps reluctantly. This is very funny. I guess it is a taboo subject which is always good to investigate using humour. I had guessed the pervert was to get his comeuppance but I would never have guessed how. I really like the ending, shriveling away. Good luck in the competition.

The story offered a twist that surprised me. The predatory behaviour of the perpetrator and the unexpected revelation of the woman's anatomy counteracts the dynamics resulting in a reversal of confidence. I think you did well to convey the power play in 100 words. I wish you good luck with the contest.

A pervert's justice. I honestly wasn't expecting the hermaphrodite twist with the current age of women liberation. I thought she would laugh a say she saw bigger on her girlfriend and pick up a dropped whip or chain that fell when she revealed her own perversion. I feel dirty now, I think I'll take a shower and say a few Hail Mary's, although I'm not Catholic. Thank you for the unusual mood you put me in:-).
