The latest part of my Selena City story about Adele, a lesbian in a near future where sexuality is not an issue.

part 13 Feelings (2353 words)

Oh dear... back to relatively low word count again. Damn. Hopefully I will continue writing today and this evening, and post the next chapter in the morning... hopefully.

Anyway let me know what you think of this.

Loving it. I know you have a hard time seeing it cause your close to it and all but whatever you're doing you're doing right.
Thank you. :)

Bravo!!! OK, not only are Adele and Brenda getting a little bit more touchy feely, we now have Marcus with Priyanka. Good god woman!

I especially enjoyed the portion about empathy. We automatically assume that most people who show empathy towards someone is of good heart, they just want to show that they are on someone's side. The fact is what you said, those are the ones that are infinitely more dangerous, more manipulative in some cases.

Excellent work!

:) Thank you.

Yes, I've often felt annoyed that books and movies portray people who lack empathy so wrongly. The psychopaths in movies are generally almost impossible. Much more scary are people like Hitler who had empathy. He adored his girlfriend, loved dogs, and was a vegetarian, but in spite of all that, he was able to skilfully manipulate people's feelings and bring about the murder of millions of Jews, colored people, and gays.

Autistic people lack an ability to empathise, but are virtually always harmless, often highly talented people, who are hopelessly confused by all the subtle social signals we take for granted.
