Stories by Vanna

Black, white and blues Paris, the city that never sleeps. 1930. A white woman is infatuated by a black singer. Head in the clouds, blues music in the air, they meet masked and not alone. If this story appears Anaïs Nin-like to you, you might be right. Written for Erica Chappuis' Une Vie d'Artiste.

The Coffee Bar The queen dresses in front of the windows. Languidly, without haste, savouring the moment, deeply inhaling the scent of coffee. The waiter has treated her well, like the young king he is should. Written for Erica Chappuis' Une Vie d'Artiste. Erica asked me to do this, as she was concerned by my low output. Quite right. A difficult period for me.

A Statuesque Beauty - A strong exhibitionist woman meets her equal. Their relationship is a cold war. She is an object to him, a piece of art.
'A Statuesque Beauty' has a new painting by Erica.

Icon The adoration of a woman, of her secret passage, which she hides and uses to tempt. Or does she? Or is it the man, who expects the impossible and can only be disappointed? Inspired by a Triptique by Erica Chappuis

A Day to Remember - Slave for a Day -My own true experiences with being a slave - a relapse into socially inacceptable behaviour, one may say. A Master started corresponding with me, stating he found me submissive. Maybe I am. I asked him to compile me a detailed, gripping scenario for a single day, for me to follow in isolation. He did and held me in his grip. He made me reach strange, horrible and wondrous depths. I learned a great deal about me and my other half: my body. Have I discovered the slave in me? I cannot yet tell...

Tiger Eats Man -A chance meeting with an excentric woman, a tigress, leads to a climax, the fall from which leaves permanent afflictions. The rest ... chasing the dream.

The Voyeur -A fairly normal gentleman rents out an apartment to a woman. He watches her in her natural state from behind a large mirror. She does not know this, or does she? They meet in the flesh, at last. Story offers two alternative endings.
