Ruby Ann's Short Story

Improved Essays
Ruby Ann’s eyes slid shut and she didn’t answer him. She was too busy picturing someone else. She imagined the Wolfman leaning over her, his dark brown hair falling into his golden eyes as he thrust into her. She pictured his sculpted muscles, tense as he held himself above her, pressing his hips into hers over and over again. She pretended that it was his large hand squeezing her breast and pinching at the nipple, that it was him panting over her as he became less controlled. She imagined that it was him crying out her name as he buried himself as deep as possible inside her before collapsing on the bed.
It hadn’t been enough to complete her own desire, but the act coupled with her imagination had been enough to at least sate some of her burning,

    “I know,” Jared answered, putting his arms around her bulging waist and leaning his head against her hip. “I don’t know what I would have done,” she said staring straight ahead at the wall, and re-sponding to Jared’s embrace by stroking his shoul-ders. “If I’d had to choose between the two of you.” Later, that night, after they were in bed she’d give him a proper rubdown with some liniment.

He presses his face into her shoulder and crumbles as our bodies offer up shudder after shudder of release until all that remains is a quivering suspension of movement and then silence.

    The title of Anne Carson's book reads: "Autobiography of Red: A Novel in Verse," which struck me with two very contrasting images. The word "autobiography" implies feelings of truthfulness and reality versus the word "novel", which to me insinuates fiction and to some extent the idea of a tale. From the very title of the book, Carson had me intrigued, and this idea of two contrasting stories/ images stuck with me throughout the book, for good reason. The book itself contains a story within a story, which can come across to us in two separate manners. The first is an Ancient Greek tale, originally told by Stesichoros, which tells us about how Hercules defeated a winged monster named Geryoneis by killing him, his little dog and stealing his red…
