Seduction is an art form as much as a science.  Jack’s talent has been honed and sharpened over lifetimes of experience, the steps of the dance so well learned that they become habit.  The languid ballet of early attraction gives way to the tango of lust and to the waltz of easy familiarity.  Again and again and again throughout eternity.  Until each relationship is like the one before and the one after, each a carefully choreographed piece committed to memory and performed without conscious thought.  Until each relationship becomes nothing more than another step in the dance of endless life.

You've given us Jack's whole existance in 100 words. Fantastic!

Thank you. I'm finding I really like writing 100 words at a time.

Poor Jack. To have a broken heart be routine.

Given a long enough timeline, everything becomes routine.

Aww, this is beautiful and so sad. Nice use of the prompt!

Just joined LJ but I think we've spoken on ff.net - you gave me a nice review for my TW Ashore story :) Friending you if that's OK and off to read your other fics! x

Excellent look at Jack, in all his manipulative glory.

[czarina-kitty.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Given forever, manipulation should be a snap.

Oh, that's sad, relationships becoming so much of a routine and a habit that they blend together, interchangeable. How can there be any real emotion, any joy, in a relationship when they all seem the same?

Eternity compared to the average human life span would make any real connection impossible.

So sad and true...
