Two Sides of A Kiss

Two people kiss - you describe their differing experiences. Some ideas. The kiss can be
- erotic on one side, and platonic on the other.
- wanted on one side and unwanted on the other.
- meaningful on one side, and meaningless on the other.
- be beyond expectations on one side, and disappointing on the other
- between young people, middle-aged people, or old people. Or between one old person (e.g., a grandparent) and one young person (e.g., a grandchild).
- in real time (as going on)on the one side, and as remembered decades later on the other
THIS IS FOR ALL MY POINTS, SO I'M COUNTING ON YOU FOR A WONDERFUL SHOW!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on April 10, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 7 people
  • Final notes:
    Thanks to everyone who entered. Don't put too much stock in the rankings - on another day they might have come out differently. Writing is all that matters.

    There are many interesting stories here. We have
    - exploratory kisses that lead one or both of the explorers into areas they never thought to go, and never would have wanted to go
    - kisses of warring reality in which the death is the outcome
    - kisses forced by one person on another
    - kisses that reveal the absence of relationship

    One thing is for sure: it isn't true that "A kiss is just a kiss..."
