Tell me how to fix my short fiction piece? It's about high school lesbians. I am not a high school lesbian. This is the opening. Pic unrelated

"I was never gay. She always was. Obviously, boldly.
The first time we kissed, it was behind the abandoned convenience store at 2 in the morning on a saturday. Her car smelled like menthols and leather. Her lips tasted like menthols and cheap lip stick, the kind you get at a drugstore. She tasted me with brutal recklessness. Her tongue had a nick in it, right at the tip, where her teeth had severed a chunk from the whole. She would later tell me it was due to a childhood fight with her older brother. She was passionate. I thought of Michael."

Are you shitting me? Look at that shit. It's 3rd grade level prose. I don't fucking know what /lit/ even ironically could ironically see in it. Someone please tell me why the fuck I should read page upon page of that kindergarten crap.

The Road

>A "masterpiece"??? You've got to be kidding! Come on, people, are you so afraid of going against the "masses" to say that this book was bad? The author couldn't even give his characters names ... "the man", "the boy" -- weren't they worthy of names? It must have been beyond the author's imagination, as is the "story" or lack thereof, and the non-ending. There was no story development. The book consisted of "the man" and "the boy" being hungry, finding food, being cold, finding rags, encountering humans, running away, being hungry, finding food, being cold, finding rags.... and on and boringly on. As someone else stated and I wholeheartedly agree: This book is the literary equivalent to The Emperor's New Clothes. I see it and tell it like it is: The book is not worth reading and was a waste of my time. I think Oprah takes the worst books ever written and plays the game of "Let's see how many people I can get to say this book is wonderful just because I say so" and laughs and laughs because people are so gullible. I'm delighted to not be part of that group.
