Publisher Description:

With crisscrossing throws and passes, SunlitSeeker plays Rugby with human emotions:
A champion chauvinist takes a young woman on a ride, charming her with skilful throttles and brakes. In return, her hopes skyrocket. Then, she says, “Dude, it's time to be subdued,” and takes him for a ride.
On the opposite side of the field, another young champion revisits a tale of infatuation, unexpected discoveries, and accidents through fragmented memories. All in a day's work.
On one corner, a control-freak young woman meticulously plans a super-seductive wedding night. On another corner, a starving East European refugee of the same age sells her flesh for food but not her pride. Alternatively, a domestic help soars high on a fantasy stroll inside a luxurious bathroom but slips into a tepid ending, needing to use the facility in the real world.
In a hair-raising story, a widow transforms a banker overnight, teaching him to bank on trust and customer satisfaction. They say, 'Revenge is a dish best served cold.' Another widow reminds us of Aesop’s Fables through a devastating tale of revenge, elsewhere.
In one story, an affluent, sporty teenager runs out of his over-protective home to taste the allure of freedom and returns as a man, blessed with an opulence of experiences. Elsewhere, another sportsman of the same age, not as affluent, redefines opulence.
For a shy, middle-aged couple, love and need become unexpectedly intertwined on a passionately violent Valentine's Day afternoon.

'FLFO' packs blockbusters, buffering with slices of lives, seemingly mundane and story-less, but returning to you 'when you are alone in your bed.' ⚠
