I know that in some aspects of Quantum physics it is postulated that you can change something only if you haven't seen it yet. Like mail. But I'd say that if it were possible it would take more than just wanting it to happen. Probably need some kind of specific brain activity to make sure whether you want the cat alive or dead or not in the box when you open it.
Nice comeback with "big boned" smooth. But selling something as expensive as an encyclopedia set in the Depression of the 1930's is a terrible job. (The Great Depression lasted from 1929-1941) Howard Phillips Lovecraft lived from 1890-1934. Sadly we lost him partly because of our lousy health care and the fact he was poor. Not dirt poor but close to it.
I like the concept--cosmic horror with a dose of funny to take the edge off, to lighten the room of crawling shadows.
It might be better if Eve found some porn done by women for women, not Lesbian.
Love the imagery in direct contradiction to the words.
A "candid vaginal self portratist" needs to sell why isn't she? I would expect many men and a few women might like it. I find the vaginal shape quite pleasing to the eye.
Why is she embarrassed? I guess because it was accidental and she wasn't supposed to be there so late at night, eating in the dark.
