INSIDE OUT --- an eclectic collection of short
stories... some short, short. Most of the protagonists are women. You may find you are sympathetic, empathetic
or neither of those things, but hopefully you will enjoy their stories.

FACT OF THE MATTER
You're not going to believe my story, but I am going to tell it to you anyway. I suppose truth is relative.
Anyway, this is my truth: I have always wanted to be in love, and I have never known how. Mama always told me
to "save myself." She said, "if you give your virtue to just anyone, you will never know real love." So I saved
myself. For years, I saved myself. I probably didn't know how to do that either because no one seemed to challenge
my saving, and somehow, that took away the edge of being saved.
So here I was, a middle-aged "saved" person, not knowing just what to do with this treasure..........................
