But that would have ruined the twist ending that was the whole point of

the thing.



It wasn't much of a surprise anyway, IMO. The avoidance of gender

pronouns and lack of any gender-specific description made it blatantly

obvious that the author was trying to pull a fast one.



Frankly, I have to wonder what the point of stories like this is. It

doesn't seem all that shocking or audacious to me that an author can

depict two more or less randomly-chosen characters having sex. If the

story had done anything to make itself even remotely plausible, then you

might have something.



C'mon, DB, you're a good writer. You don't need to resort to this kind

of thing. ^_^
