A short preview teaser for an erotic allegory I’m writing called Embers in the Forest. My challenge was to write a story that evokes as much arousal and sensual feelings as possible while strictly avoiding sexual language or situations entirely. Just pure allegory. It is also void of any gender or orientation input. Any feedback or critiques are appreciated as I finish up the full story.

“I need it. The forest is inhospitable and cold. My body craves its warmth. A fire. Any fire. I don’t care where I lay in its embrace. I can’t stop imagining its warmth extinguishing my need. My instincts drive the thought of it to consume my focus as if it were imperative for my survival. It is. I’ve wandered this barren and lonely forest for so long. I need to rest in the radiant heat of glowing coals. I need the blazing tongues of fire to thaw my aching body. I need its energy to consume and enrapture me. I dream and I long for that feeling. That feeling when my body finally finds relief. That feeling that I desperately need to come soon.…”
