Earth Tones — Susan Hart

Good Eats at the Diner, is about a waitress working in an all-night diner near Roswell, New Mexico. She's used to the locals and an assortment of drifters who frequent the place, but definitely not used to the charismatic stranger who stops in one night for a bite to eat. This is an erotic riff on the classic sci-fi movies and series of the fifties, with a wry and humorous touch. The Last Sunset on Earth, is an erotic story about a future world--one that’s all gray; gray buildings, gray thoughts, gray people. It rains all the time and the government has forbidden color because they think it gets people too excited. Some cut themselves just so they can see red blood. It’s forbidden to grow flowers because they serve no purpose, but one woman and then one man, together, grow a perfect sunflower and find each other in a most intimate way.
