Excellent story from Haddayr as usual. I really liked the pov from the various things making up the house, that there wasn't just a general pov of a house, but that it's made up of a number of things to make a unit, and the sensuality and physical details were just so spot on and easily evoked the sensations that our own bodies have felt in these various positions, the light cord snapping back and shuddering for several minutes, the kneeling down on the basement floor to clean a litter box, the fan whirling at the end, everything is just really lovely about this. Thanks so much for publishing it; it was my read of the day.

Ha! Charming, unusual, and sexy. That naughty cord! Now all day I'll be careful about what I do. I wonder, did this story come about because of the phrases "housewife" and "the tub gets as much ass as the toilet seat (which I notice was left out) but doesn't have to take as much [censored]?" I love how it ends--with a perfect image of dizzying romance.

Stupid man.

I don't remember the last time I was so delighted. Fun and funny and a perfect exit line.

I very nearly burned my supper, I got so involved in this.

I loved this story. So clever and imaginative! The length is note perfect. Although, I'd sure love to see the house deal with that man.

Wonderful. This is by far my favorite story on here. I want to read more from this author and so far all I found was a blog. I've also sent this to my girlfriend, who loves it very much.
