Some very interesting stories this week, at those I have had time to read so far. Never enough time. Can someone give me oh say five million bucks so I can do what I wish. Just wasn't bright enough to make that kind of cash on my own.....
321 has always keeps the roller coaster going full speed ahead with Hostel. Watch out for those twists and turns, they can be killers.
Rebecca continues with her manumission plan and all seems to be going well......even pulling evil Alice into the fold. Not a bad idea there kid. You are smart.
I laughed at the Celeste heckler sticking out tongue part. Good stuff. Humor always is nice in a tough story, if it is well written and in character with there people and story and this was very much so. Lovely little bit there that I enjoyed.
Also loved that dream sequence. The whole concept of the movie theater with all the controlled girls there to watch the 'movie'. Yeah a nightmare for sure for Rebecca and what she is trying to do. It shows her subconscious is worried, in conflict, not so sure that all is well.
At the end Elke shows an older couple that Rebecca has indeed freed her. Maybe.
This older couple strike me as smart, the man especially, and a very dire threat to all Rebecca has accomplished. Loved that line, “That cunt. What the hell is she thinking? Going around town, untying everyone’s shoelaces…" It really popped off the page at me. That kind of writing, that superb turn of metaphoric phrase really gets me.
Rebecca may have, and I stress may have, defeated Alice but there seems to be big trouble on the horizon before her turn in Germany is done.
Miwaku-Tekina: Whatever You Wish by NickleModelTales is superb and brought back some great memories of years gone by with sweet young American girls make the huge mistake of visiting Japan. I loved some of them, some of the best MC stories written and this one goes right up there with them. Lori, the stunning girl going to school in Japan gets bad news, her stupid mother lost all their money in the Bernie Madoff scam. Loved that Madoff was used. It added such verisimilitude to the proceedings and kind of foreshadowed just how good the story would be and how professionally written it would be. Sooooo smooth, like fine whiskey going down.
You really get to know Lori, she and her back story are strongly developed, and her situation and kind of dislike the cold unfeeling roommates she has, except for one who is a true friend and offers her help. They become true friends. But man, what neither one doesn't know can really hurt them! You can see the writer also knows plenty about Japanese culture which really upped the whole deal to a very high level. The ending of this special tale, like the rest of it is just smashing.
I loved this story.
Another story that is just unbelievable in plot and execution is Zorkmeisters Refashioned. I mentioned this story during an earlier chapter and I have to say now I am just raving about it. The plot is very interesting and complex and the threat so slow and sneaky and insidious as Annabel gets sucked into an online site that is really just the gateway to so much more. This story always had darker edges to it but now is really taking a sinister turn, and I say this in best way imaginable, as Annabel and friend Lauren, and many others, seem to in danger of losing all of themselves. The fact that Zorkmeister is not rushing it all really lets the pot simmer and makes the MC so subtle, so languid, building up so slowly all hotter. This story is ridiculous in it's subtle application of MC and how each step builds on the next.
If Zork isn't careful, he, or her, may write one of my all time favorite classics. Boy am I hoping!
Gotta go for now. I will try to post on some other stories when I have the time.
