I can see your point. Just went to sample that story... hmmm.

There is room for earnest, in-depth travel journals... and there is room for postcards. Short stories often are (hot) postcards. Maybe a matter of format. A long, rambling, aimless story can even be entertaining if the postcards are hot. Still, the progression element IS good... often the last words of a tale, promising more, are as erotic as the rest of the whole book! (case in point: A Friend in Need)
