Sunday Short: 'How to Talk to Girls at Parties' by Neil Gaiman

The times I had kissed my sister's friends I had not spoken to them. They had been around while my sister was off doing something elsewhere, and they had drifted into my orbit, and so I had kissed them. I do not remember any talking. I did not know what to say to girls, and I told him so. 
Neil Gaiman has a pretty awesome knack for turning charming nostalgic stories into bona fide creepy-fests in the space of a few carefully placed sentences. This is such a great example of that. What begins as two teenage boys trying to find a party ends, well, in something very much not that.

You can read 'How to Talk to Girls at Parties' by Neil Gaiman over on his website.
