“Awakening”is a perfect title for this short Poor Carsten says he doesn't understand what's happening to him. Stig says he does, because he's been there. Unlike Stig we can hope that Carsten honors who he is.

The unfolding of the story all hinges on Carsten kissing Stig in the car. That was brave and wreckless.

Stig was right to kiss him back and right to end it. Their groping, though, should not have been interrupted.

Now Carsten will look for a man who's single and available.
