Love Like Lightning: Ten Stories of Love at First Sight

By Ken Bachtold

Love at first sight? Lovely thought - but does it really exist? If so, does the earth tremble? Does the atmosphere turn rosy? Quickened pulse? Pounding heart? A feeling of floating in a strange new place? Actually, the 10 guys in these stories werent thinking about it one way or the other. Take Keith Windsor for instance. He was just minding his own business when, what he later referred to as that moment, happened. It was a busy weekday afternoon and hed stopped on 7th Avenue at The Right Choice for a frozen dessert and was now on his way to the bank When he stopped at the corner of 17th Street to let a vicious yellow cab pass in front of him, he looked up to see a blond young man on the opposite corner staring at him. He couldnt move. Not a step. He was frozen in place, pinned by the magnetic thrall of the other mans glance. He didnt even realize hed let the paper cup slip from his hand to end up with a chocolaty plop in the gutter. Apparently, the cause of his utter distraction had experienced the same effect, for they stood for several moments simply staring at each other. Then suddenly the moment was over as the world came into focus once again and the young man continued on his way across Seventh. Keith hurried along, still shaken up. Hed just decided he was not letting this rather transcendental moment go; he was going to follow the guy. Thats when he heard the heart-stopping thump that could only be the result of metal striking flesh....
