Story Slam: Lost in Translation & Wild Things

Two pieces. First, "Lost in Translation." A piece I'd originally intended to tell for the theme "Awkward," the reasons for which will become obvious upon listening. Re: being naked on the Internet, that's a story I haven't told yet.

Second, "Wild Things." This piece relates a moment I've been chewing on for a bit and something that I think will be part of a longer fiction piece although, as is the case in most of my fiction (but not non-fiction), in the end no one returns and no one is saved.
