Ah, the penalty for that which we should not possess. Fleeting moments, that itch beneath the skin, the insanity that keeps us sane. Too bad your character detests the life she has. Well written, and provocative.

Hi MijelzazCaroon. This was an important write for me and I am most flattered that you reached back for it. It was a gut write. Something I pulled from inside. Thank you so much for reviewing. Zee
Comment from LGPutzer
Wow! This definitely made me think. I admire the hook of the first sentence in the first paragraph. It's the most important part of the story and you did a really good job with that part.
The story left me wondering who the man was that came from the potion. Was it her perfect image of how she wished her husband could be, or a completely different person all together?
I wasn't certain, based on the story, if she was calling upon someone she wanted to have an affair with. Perhaps, a slight hint about how she conjured up the image of this dream man in her mind, I think, would enhance the story, and make me want to know more about the him.

It is a mystery even to me. I just write what falls out of my head. I want to thank you for this wonderful comment. It made my day. Thanks.
Comment from Annmuma
A sensual tale, well woven and well written. Grabs the reader's attention from the first words --well maybe that 'mature content' notice did that-- and doesn't let go until the end. Always a price to pay. Good imagery. ann

Comment from Sleep
Hi ZeeZee,
This is an amazingly sensual and sensuous piece of literature.
Extremely interesting in addition and held the attention without any effort whatsoever.
Could easily have been much longer, but would struggle to be done any better!

Comment from steevie
This is an excellent write. The contrast between a lover wanted and a husband not. You used descriptive words that made the story come 'alive' and it was easy to follow the events in the eye's mind as I read.
Is a lover despised, better than no lover at all?

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello zeezeewriter,
You get very high marks here ... you've proven that mature fiction can be written without the ugliest and most voile words. I applaude you.
This story just drew me in from the very first line to the very last line. I liked the twist at the end. I knew one was coming but wouldn't have guess this one - good job.
The following line made me wonder if perhaps the whole week in Paris was perhaps a fantasy ...
No one missed them or even noticed their departure.
Or perhps she was in Paris, but alone or maybe for that one week her husband became the man of her fantasies ...
Their "surrogate" bodies went to work and ate dinner and played ball and made love while their real selves walked together in the world unseen, and unnoticed.
And at the end of the week ... it was back to business as usual - the "genie" had to be put back into the bottle - gone but not forgotten.
I didn't notice any SPG errors. However, I ususally read for content as good writing is an art given to one by God. SPG can always be learned and that's what editors are for.
This was an enjoyable read. Keep writing.
Regards, LateBloomer
