More Description'Angels and Sirens' tells of an art student's youthful encounter with a fellow student who would become his true love. However when he is away studying in 1960's London there are others; one a siren, a schoolgirl from Woodford County High, who taunts; teases and tempts him in her impatience to experience sex, and through that, embrace Lady Chatterley's magical state of 'womanhood' (an aim, an ambition, a shared secret within a secret pact of seven) But others are less terrifying; a fellow 'follower' of Plato and a serial sharer of his tiny bed, pretentiously tempts his eyes to admire her elegant nakedness as she dresses; while another beauty, who is 'attached' to a much older and violent gangster, confides to him with wide eyes, such a violent attack upon her it breaks his heart; violence which (later and beyond the pages of this narrative) will lead to her untimely death. However, despite all temptation, there is no way he can abandon his promise to his estranged true love, the girl he'd discovered was made of magic, and who, when they made love, had revealed a personal heaven hidden deep behind her rainbow filled eyes, a wondrous universe; a heaven only the can shareReal girls and real men with real guns appear in this story which eludes to an alternative future for a girl who might have been Francis Shea and whom the author calls 'Wendy'.
