“Rocking”

We kinda rushed home from the soccer game and wolfed down supper. The kids were at a sleepover. Laundry whomped gently in the basement while I took a shower and he set up the hammock. There was a little motor he had devised, attached to a 12-volt battery, that kept it swaying even when preoccupied…with other activities. He was so mechanical and I loved that about him.

  1. Excellent story, it sounds so wonderful I wish it was not fiction and that it will continue! This is the type of closeness and connection that I hope can exist in real life also!

    Just one minor style suggestion, some of the really short sentences interrupt the flow of the reading since they are so short that it makes it more choppy.

      1. I like the varied sentence length, rhythm, and cadence. What I am referring to more specifically is only the handful of two word sentences like “The tug.” seems too abrupt when reading. But it is more of a minor preference that it was longer or combined somehow with the sentences surrounding it than anything that detracts from the wonderful story.

  2. This felt like a snip it of a romantic novel. Just a wonderful work of art. The description in the actions taken and the emotion expressed was truly a delight. Thank you for the share looking forward to the next adventure.

  3. Treasure Chest, you transported me into the story. Your descriptions and attention to details had me immersed into the story. This was a beautiful story of love in the deepest form of connectedness. I hope to read more of your work!

  4. The sensations and emotions that are so eloquently described here are the very reason I am so grateful to have found this site. The way that these two lovers accept and embrace each other is beautiful and inspiring. That connection is the foundation for all the excitement that is felt when reading the details of their interaction. Thank you for sharing your amazing writing!

  5. I still adore coming back to this story time and time again. It’s great writing & the perfect blend of the routine of daily family life with the intensity of their connection & feelings for each other.
