It's been a few years since I posted a link to my short story, so I thought I'd do so again. It involves a young American doctor who moves to Italy and meets an Italian woman as she is shopping for a sports car. The car is a centerpiece of the story and the text has been revised some since last posted. It can be read at: http://dreamsofitaly.webstarts.com
Well done, Jim. Your writing is evocative, and your characters are nicely fleshed out (in the case of the Dino, nicely metal-ed out.) You achieved the goal of any good writer: You transported your reader into the world you describe. Congratulations.
Thank you. I really enjoyed writing it. While I have written a novel-length continuation of the story, I like this short story the best. Jim O
