Buktu's Well

Buktu happily shovels dirt over her late husband's grave. Her thoughts are full of the lovely Rama, who is finally hers to protect, to provide for, and to love. There is only one problem: water is far away. Desperate, she offers a shocking proposition: full sexual access to any men who agree to dig a well. Buktu's determination is put to the test in this erotic tale of ancient Africa. Nowadays everyone knows of the mythical city of Timbuktu. Before its golden age, though, Timbuktu was probably nothing more than a dusty nomad's town. Its origins are unclear, with the only clues being legend… and a name. The city's name is as mysterious as it is evocative: Timbuktu, roughly meaning "property of Buktu" or "Buktu's well." Who exactly Buktu was, or why she chose to build a well in that place, is unknown. This erotic short story reveals Buktu's origins, and her reasons for building a well.
