Another femme-fatale story from Ellison.

Our protagonist has always been able to manipulate men - and everyone around her - to do her bidding. She takes it pretty much for granted. But now, she's on the lam. When she's forced to go to a car mechanic in a one-horse town in the middle of nowhere, she unexpectedly meets a man who may be just as powerful as she is.

What happens then, however, just made me go "huh? why?" I didn't see the motivation... ( )
