A scene involving Ezra, one of the athletes, and his girlfriend, Eliza, caught the judges’ attention and was the favorite to win when the shortlist was announced last month.
The scene in question reads: “At that, Eliza and Ezra rolled together in a full-blown lovemaking giggling snowball, screaming and screaming as they bit and shot each other in a mountain spiral. dangerous and noisy russian of sexually violent spinning with Eliza breasts rolled over Ezra’s screaming mouth and the painful frenzy of her bulbous greeting dampening her arousal as she slapped and punched every muscle in Eliza’s body, at the except for the otherwise central area.
The shortlist included The Martini Shot, by famous The Wire screenwriter George Pelecanos (âI rubbed against her until she was wet like a slideâ); Joshua Cohen’s Book of Numbers (âher breasts were like young fawns, sheep frolicking in hyssopâ); and Before, During, After by Richard Bausch (“When she took it, still a little flabby, in her mouth, he moaned, ‘Oh, lover'”).
