Comment from Tomes Johnston

Excellent

My opinion is that this device is a great idea and should be rolled out all over the world. It should be made readily available on the National Health Service, or any parallel service that is used anywhere else in the world. And lastly, I completely get your form of writing. It is so good that I would call it genius. Well done again. Sorry but I don't have any sixes left for you.

Thanks, Tomes, a six isn't really necessary, my friend, as long as you were entertained by the story.

This one presented me with a uniquely interesting challenge. I had to avoid using any identifiers showing that Sam was a woman. I had to avoid words like she, her, and did so until the very end of the story. That was far more difficult than I'd ever imagined, and I hope it wasn't too noticeable. Did you catch on that the two, Sam and Samantha, were the same person?

Let me know your thoughts, I always value your opinion.

I thought that this was indeed the case because the vigilante of this sort just had to be a woman, but this was skillfully done indeed.

You hit the mark with this one, Dean--as usual. I enjoyed your write so much and on a very important topic. Yes, Rapex condoms should be available everywhere. Good job, good read.

Thanks, as always, for such a fantastic review, BeasPeas. I'm so glad you liked this one. I was a bit nervous about posting it!

how do you ever think of the details of these horrific stories and get the picture to so appropriately match the words.
Good use of dialogue
Good narration.
Horrors are not my favorite but I did find myself reading this.
Good luck in the contest

Thanks, emrpoems. I'm very grateful that, although horror is not your preferred "cup of tea" as far as reading material goes, you gave this one a look-see for me. I really appreciate that, and thanks again!

My, goodness, this is horrific, Dean -

I must thank you for not adding music

trying to read - just me -

Good luck - you must have a winner here, my friend.

Thanks a bunch for weighing in on this one for me, Margaret,

I believe the one I have is the right one..."mustache". But, I'll have to look into that, and thank you, once again, for taking the time to read & review this for me.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh - Colin's had to make me a cup of tea to calm me down.

Excellent

I really enjoyed the story, Dean. I think the narration and the dialogue were great. The ending was a twist and I enjoyed that. I have no problem with the device. Rape is not just a physical crime, it's an emotional and spiritual one as well.
