Follows Fucking"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Long before I met you Anna<\/p>\n<p>I knew a woman called Gwen<\/p>\n<p>She was my lecturer at university<\/p>\n<p>We had a short affair which was very sexual<\/p>\n<p>But when I left college it fizzled out<\/p>\n<p>I initially thought it was that distance prevented us fucking<\/p>\n<p>But soon realised that it was more than that<\/p>\n<p>As we have been friends ever since<\/p>\n<p>Is this the Gwen that you sometimes mention<\/p>\n<p>Very much<\/p>\n<p>I would like to meet her<\/p>\n<p>I think that might be difficult as she lives in the USA<\/p>\n<p>I can see why she was attracted to you<\/p>\n<p>She had her pick of many beautiful women<\/p>\n<p>We just clicked that is all<\/p>\n<p>Was it physical straight away<\/p>\n<p>Very much<\/p>\n<p>It was the opposite of you and I<\/p>\n<p>We were chess players you know<\/p>\n<p>I soon realised that<\/p>\n<p>What was Gwen like<\/p>\n<p>She was dark in complexion<\/p>\n<p>Raven hair<\/p>\n<p>And had a rounded figure that artists would have liked<\/p>\n<p>But there was something a little odd about her<\/p>\n<p>In what way<\/p>\n<p>It was nothing really a tattoo<\/p>\n<p>A tattoo<\/p>\n<p>A lot of us have tattoos<\/p>\n<p>If you care to look on my shoulder<\/p>\n<p>You will see your name Anna<\/p>\n<p>And you will also see mine Anna<\/p>\n<p>So what was peculiar about that tattoo<\/p>\n<p>Did she have Brad Pitt tattooed on her arse<\/p>\n<p>Nothing of the sort<\/p>\n<p>It was just a thin line of poetry<\/p>\n<p>Written in Latin and was almost obscured by her pubic mass<\/p>\n<p>She had a hairy cunt then<\/p>\n<p>Very much I have never seen a bigger cunt<\/p>\n<p>I think she was a refugee from the 1970s<\/p>\n<p>She had hairy pits to boot<\/p>\n<p>I think she was a secret feminist<\/p>\n<p>Did she hate men and all that shit<\/p>\n<p>No she was rather warm to them but preferred women<\/p>\n<p>It was as simple as that<\/p>\n<p>So what about the tattoo<\/p>\n<p>I did not see it at first<\/p>\n<p>I was lying on her belly when I saw these tiny words<\/p>\n<p>As I said they were almost hidden by the dark mass of her pubic hair<\/p>\n<p>I looked but could not make them out as they were written in Latin<\/p>\n<p>What was the line<\/p>\n<p>If I remember correctly it read<\/p>\n<p><em>Dum sol obscurum radiis illuminat orbem\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Did she explain the words<\/p>\n<p>Yes she did but I cannot recall what was said<\/p>\n<p>Do you know what it means<\/p>\n<p>Yes<\/p>\n<p>Were you taught Latin at school Anna<\/p>\n<p>Almost with a cruel intent as young ladies of breeding must know Latin<\/p>\n<p>Explain these words please Anna and do not take the piss<\/p>\n<p>Well roughly translated it appears to be the first line of a work by John Owen<\/p>\n<p>I have never heard of him<\/p>\n<p>Not many people have<\/p>\n<p>It is from a work called Friendship follows Fortune I believe<\/p>\n<p>When the sun lights the dark earth with its rays is a translation<\/p>\n<p>That is an odd thing to have tattooed above ones cunt<\/p>\n<p>Possibly but I think Gwen enjoyed the humour of the line<\/p>\n<p>Just think of it a cunt is a place of pleasure and dreams<\/p>\n<p>Did Owen mean this<\/p>\n<p>Not in the slightest<\/p>\n<p>The work was called Friendship follows Fortune<\/p>\n<p>It was the last thing on his mind<\/p>\n<p>So you are saying it was Gwen&#8217;s little joke a message for all those who reached her cunt without obstruction<\/p>\n<p>Very much it was a humour and a very subtle humour<\/p>\n<p>I think I would like Gwen she sounds my type of person<\/p>\n<p>Anna<\/p>\n<p>Yes<\/p>\n<p>Outlaw is a man<\/p>\n<p>He tells me he is but I have never looked<\/p>\n<p>What do you think he will call this fiction<\/p>\n<p>I have not the faintest<\/p>\n<p>What about Friendship follows Fucking<\/p>\n<p>Possibly<\/p>\n<p>I no longer fuck Gwen but we are great friends<\/p>\n<p>So really Friendship follows Fucking seems a good title<\/p>\n<p>Who am I to disagree and I do not think that Outlaw will care either
