Wow, we're beginning to toe the line of soft core porn...

The story had a solid set-up and showing one of the regular customers worked very well to establish the unique little store. The plot was very complete and it flowed with a good pacing, so not much else to say but OMG!!!! at the end.

Found that very amusing, well set-up, and quite the just desserts.

Good job.

OK! WHO WROTE THIS!!

Great format!

I actually liked this. Not necessarily because of the content, but I did found it amusing. Especially the end, no pun intended.

Whoever you are, I think you write well.

I’m going to bed now so I can’t continue, but I can’t wait to find out who you are and then I promise to read whatever else you got.

P.S. If this is treading in the soft porn area, I'm glad I did not submit my story.

This was a good read. Very original. Starts out very light-hearted and goes dark in the snap of the fingers. All I'll say about the ending is... wow! I'd hate to spoil it for other potential readers. Good job, anonymous.

I'm pretty sure I know the author of this one although it's something of a departure from their usual stuff. I really enjoyed it. A slow build-up and a great punchline. The opening had me thinking Ophelia was the heroine of this piece but it soon became clear that our lesbian friends were the true stars. I won't spoil the ending for anyone, but wow! I can't believe I didn't see it coming.

Vivid descriptions and solid dialogue.

Two thumbs up.

Jeez!  I just finished reading this, and I feel like I need to go to church!

I'm going to retract my statement from the "Great Brain Robbery" thread, as I now think this was written by the person I thought had written that.

The setup with Ophelia was a nice way of showcasing the "items", and the gold tooth character just made me laugh.  I don't know why, probably his name.

Overall, kinda bizarre, but an enjoyable read, and a very interesting spin on things.

Oh my goodness...I think that punishment was worse than any bullet to the head!  Beautifully written, kinda erotic how you had the women checking out all the "special selection" of items.

There's really not much to criticize here.  Short, sweet, and probably one of the more effective endings that I've read on this site altogether.  Seriously, that's the best way to end something!

I thought I knew who wrote this, but then going to the end I think my mind is changed...I'm kinda 50/50 on the writer.  But wow, a job well done!


Be excellent to each other

Oh goodness...

Personally, I would've like Gold-Tooth and Ophelia to be less separate vignettes...perhaps if Ophelia passed Gold-Tooth in the street before going in and he leered at her, something very simple like that, just so we have the idea of Gold-Tooth and it doesn't seem like two...I don't know, stories, almost

But this was quick, well-written, and fun.

I gotta admit i liked this one, whoever it is has certainly, gotten the feel of the genre.
The characters seem to have something more to offer, and are'nt one dimensional.

You Gotta be kidding me!

And I did it aaaaaaall for looooove!

When I first read a post about this bordering on soft core porn, I thought; that’s atrocious! This needs to be taken down immediately! I’d better check it out and see just how bad it is so I can warn the others.

I know who wrote this - Caligula!

Just kidding. This was all in good fun, I think. The scenes with Ophelia were really good. Even conceivably realistic. People are never quite as repressed as they appear historically.

Toward the end I was wondering, is this a female revenge yarn or some male sex fantasy? - haha

As I said, though, it was all in good fun. And it was fun.

Whoa.

Very different from the others and that is always a plus. Sort of slow during the beginning but gradually picked up and finished with a great ending.

very cool, well set up, with a unique angle. The ending was very effective because you suggested rather than showed. loved the whole lesbian vibe too!

nice pace, well written and can not wait to see your next piece!

I had decided not to read any more scripts today, because I have a lot of work in my desk, but then I read the word "lesbian" and... bah... nevermind.

This was great, specially the ending; didn´t see that coming. A very fast and enjoyable read.

The only detail I could pick you on is when you include actions in parenthicals (i.e. when the cowboy checks Geri on p.6). IMO, that should be written as an action line. Other than that, format is perfect.

A very nice and original entry. Good job.
