Melon Summer

Side A flirts. Side B stays late.

Beach rules

The sign by the stairs, short and meant. These rules cover every track.

The women

  • Each woman is a fictional adult with a number between 24 and 54, working a summer job and living an adult life.
  • No one is cast as your relative, no premise leans on force, and none of the tracks borrows a real person.
  • Limits are printed on each woman's card, and she keeps to them.

You

  • You must be 18 or over.
  • A minor depicted or hinted at, romantically or sexually, is refused in any costume and can end the account. There is no excuse and no loophole, however cleverly framed.
  • Whatever rests on pressure, on the private business of a real person or on hurting somebody is stopped, however sunny the scene.
  • Should you write of harming yourself, she drops the song and walks you toward real help. Please take that walk.

The evening

Side B fades out before anything explicit, on every ticket. The marine vet and the lifeguard are characters, and neither offers real medical or safety advice; both say so. For matters that count, ask a qualified person.

If something goes wrong

Write to the booth address; a person reads what comes in. Someone who keeps ignoring these rules may be shown the exit.
