Serial Desire

This is a story perverse yet familiar. It is marriage as contest—a partnership of combat. The anonymous players are not defined by time or identified by place. They live fueled by desperate, instinctive action—a strategy of manipulation entrenched in the shifting turmoil of control and submission. With each interaction, each confrontation, the thrust of each word, their maneuvers result in the tragic simulation of a relationship, a misery of mutual responsibility—co-inflictors of pain and regret.
