Alright. I wrote this story in response to a prompt, a couple of years ago (I don't know why I didn't post it until now, really). The prompt was, essentially, to write about a man watching a strip show from a neutral perspective. So here's how I took that on: the man is watching the stripper, but he isn't emotionally responding to the dance--he's connecting to it, and relating it back to his own life.

I hope you enjoy
