This is so full of sensory images that I could get hot just reading it. LOL A teetering stomach, cotton and gauze replacing salivatory glands. Love the throaty moan that has everyone staring at you. Reference to Olympic scores good for a big laugh. A smart ending that addresses the prompt by giving a new word for falling in love: Feverance.

A hot read all the way through. I had begun to feel really sorry for the poor woman with a bad case of 'feverence'. Perfect ending. Never saw that coming. Great story and new word for the contest!

This is a fantastic write!!

Your interpretation of the prompt is clever and imaginative. This is a fun prompt I must say, and it seems as though you had fun writing this.

The point of view is unique and engaging.

Your writing is wildly descriptive and paints a vivid picture of the scene.

The dialogue is very realistic and has a nice flow. It is well written and adds depth to the story.

I thought Margaret was the carrier of some rare virus. Lol. Glad to know it was just a symtom of last. You built up the suspense and then left us with a bit of a cliff hanger. Great job. Gretchen

-I love your story.
-I don't know if you have read any books by Sariah Wilson, but she writes really good romance novels, and your story reminds me of her writing.
-Your descriptions are excellent, and you involve the reader in the story.
-We care about the narrator with her heart racing "like a drunken tight rope artist."
-And then Paul from Accounting shows up, and it all makes sense.
-I like your description involving the ratings in the Olympics.
-The ending is like the cherry on top of the Sundae.
-This is really good, and deserves to win the contest. I look forward to knowing who wrote it!!!!!

I congratulate on your vast vocabulary that enriched your various descriptions and made a ready flow of your text. I hope your eloquent words will cast a superfluous judgement upon its entry to the contest.

This was hot, and I don't just mean the fever haha. I like the picture you chose. I imagine Paul looks like that. I would probably feel some kind of way if I worked with a guy like that. Of course my significant other is the only one for me, but I can appreciate a gorgeous man! Also, I love the first paragraph. It's very well-written.

Heh heh. Being a writer seems to be in the slightly disturbed water of creating words because we're not happy with the ones we have available to us, but then that's better than being language-crude, instead of language-rich, beautifully written, blessings Roy. PS I like feverence

What a delightful story and that new word is perfect! You have the reader wondering what alien ailment the narrator could be experiencing. Excellent description throughout and a marvelous conclusion. I'm betting this entry wins the contest. Rod
