Most of us lead two lives — real and fantasy. The housewife imagines herself leading a life of luxury, surrounded by jewels and furs. The businessman imagines himself away from the rat race, painting or fishing by a quiet lake. The schoolboy dreams of becoming a famous athlete. And then there are sexual fantasies, wild dreams that we seldom expect to come true.
Is it best to suppress our desires and fantasies, or to bring them out in the open and act on them? Does their repression lead to sickness, or does their fulfillment bring shame? No one has yet been able to answer these questions satisfactorily.
In this story the characters have decided not to repress their sexual desires and fantasies and for some of them they must suffer the consequences, while others find ultimate happiness.
WHAT A WILD WIDOW is a story that deals with a sexual dilemma that confronts us all in one form or another. We cannot pass judgment on the solutions of others. We can only look at them with an open mind, seeing how some members of our society face the problem.
“Hello, Mrs. Davidson.” The handsome young man standing on the front porch had a smile on his face.
“Hello, Steve.” Deborah was smiling too. She’d been expecting him. She was very glad to see him, and he was right on time.
“I’m all ready.”
“Good. It was very nice of you to help me out.”
“No problem, Mrs. Davidson. Anything to help.”
“You don’t have to call me Mrs. Davidson, Steve. I told you. Call me Deborah. I’d like that better.”
There was no need for formality. She’d known Steve for quite a while. Besides, she wanted to get to know him a lot better.
“All right, Deborah. It was the lawn that you wanted me to mow, wasn’t it?”
