A 155-word mid-ep for Avatar, Skinner POV. This takes place
immediately
after the following exchange between Skinner and Carina
Sayles in the bar:
CARINA: Does it ever bother
you?
SKINNER: What?
CARINA: Being alone.

Her question took
me by surprise. Intelligent women are a dime a
dozen. Insightful ones are not.
I looked into her eyes
and saw depth.
And then I saw desire mirroring my own.
The intimacy of strangers tempts
me, stronger than I have ever been
tempted before. I, who believe in silence and solitude above all, am
fighting to
tear my eyes away from her.
She thinks I want sex, but the intimacy I want is conversation. I want
to
bare my heart and confide in some stranger what I cannot share
with my wife, my minister, my therapist, or even my self.
I want to tell her everything, but all she wants is sex.
So, I give her sex.
I
fill her every orifice with my fingers, my cock, and my mouth in a
manner that is more than symbolic.
When
she comes with my tongue inside her, the irony does not escape
me.

Author's Notes: This is for Sabine, who allowed me to bare my heart
and
confide in a time of great pain, in exchange for some romance to relieve
her boredom. It was never a fair trade.
We each got what we needed at the
time, but we both wound up hurt. And, yes I was the prostitute in that
exchange.
Lingua Franca is not only one of my favorite publications (sadly, no
longer in print) but also a great term
for the curious amalgamation of
words and phrases that comprise a new language between people who
speak different
tongues, who cannot understand each other, but have a
very strong desire to communicate.
