The Knothole
Boccaccio's Decameron, a story of renewal and recreation in defiance of a decimating pandemic, relates how ten self-isolated Italians pass the time regaling each other with tall tales during the Black Plague. While Covid19 wasn't nearly as decimating, the opportunity for such entertainment did exist. As a takeoff on that idea, this short story might well be a modern version of one of the tales, recounting events of earlier, less stressful times.
Please keep in mind that Decameron was long banned in several countries due to its erotic content. In keeping with the tradition of eroticism, oral and anal sex occur within this tale. Incest is also briefly present. If those things bother you, it would be best to skip this, and also to avoid checking Decameron out of your local library - where it may no longer be banned.
