A SHORT STORYThis short, steamy tale first appeared in print in The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica 3, 2003.Betrayed by his body’s failure to ward off cancer, his wife’s failure to stand by him, and the gym he had built up from scratch, Skyler sets out on a healing journey. On a full moon night in the warm, silken mineral waters of a spa, he finds his healing in the arms of a woman who is, perhaps, a water spirit.
