"Tantra" is a tale of sexual/romantic obsession. Ask bethr to email you the file, or email me & I'll attach it to a reply.
"Jackpot" is a story of the protagonist's psychological disintegration while on vacation at a casino resort in the Bahamas.
"Retelling" is sort of a cross between Proust and Kafka. The protagonist is coping with life after her best friend's murder. Like Proust it is a first person stream of consciousness narrative including observations of ordinary everyday phenomena, and like Kafka's "The Trial" the protagonist is a suspect in a criminal investigation. Formally there are no paragraph breaks: each chapter is a solid block of text that is both left and right justified. This conveys the protagonist's continuous train of thought.
