Yes, we all did, as we are not blithering neanderthals like you
You had better believe we did and enjoyed it all the way to the very end. Signed: BTW
I agree with Buck Owens, this is a very good story everything but the Doctor and hypnosis.
Wrapped too much together and the mixture didn't quite come out unless you meant it as a growing lesson
I didn't start out enjoying it much but as I read more I could see the direction it was headed. I first thought it was a brain injury type brain fart. The head shrink is clever and hypnosis worked just as good. Very interesting.
I must have read this some time ago. As I read I started remembering more and more, but wasn't sure of the ending. The only thing I was sure of, was that it was a good story and well worth the five stars I just gave it. - Must have read it before in my 'Anonymouse' days.
Loved it.
Best story I've read in a while. I didn't know what was going on for a while, but it was great wandering around.
Just had to suspend believability concerning the hypnotherapy nonsense. Otherwise, I loved it. Would have liked to hear of Chuck's revenge ag against the ex boxer asshole.
Yeah , baby you can drive my car , I think you are already a Starr ! Just wanted you to know , that while you were driving my car , your story was floating my boat ! Love your Beatle themes ! Makes me wanna hold your palm pilot ! How could I read from another when I saw your story submitted here ?
The Truman show they should of made brilliant story honestly loved it was wishing was a 40+ Chapter series 5* do more
This guy is an arrogant ass. Yeah, yeah, he was hypnotized so he’d change but no mental health professional would allow this kind of behaviour, for the sake of his family if not his own.
He’s constantly assaulting a woman he doesn’t or barely knows, he risks injuring a teen, he’s ridiculously judgmental about some hair colouring, he’s cruel to a couple kids who can’t help how they were raised, and is constantly playing up to an audience.
There’s nothing likeable about him or believable about the ending.
Let’s see... the “hero” of your story repeatedly mauls the breasts of a woman he believes is a stranger; he physically assaults a teenaged boy, he kicks in a teenaged girl’s door, ensuring that she would have no privacy (and probably putting her in fear of assault and rape). He does all this because he thinks he’s on T.V. (huh?).
All the “bad guy” does is kiss a woman against her will, and then defend himself when the “hero” assaults him. [Assaulting people is apparently the “hero’s” response to pretty much any stimulus.]
The excuse for all this turns out to be hypnosis, performed by a psychiatrist in a really remarkable violation of the Medical Code of Ethics, and which could cause him to (deservedly) lose his license.
I’m not sure where you meant to go with this, but I’m damned sure you didn’t get there.
Just a great story that does not get old. HDK knows how to write the good ones.
I love the way you made me feel when I tripped to the fact that he was the only one hypnotized. This story was a dive in a beautiful pool of suspended reality.
I'm thinking "bullshit"! Sue the shrink, divorce the bitch, leave her and the slobs, disappear and start over without the weight around his neck. This Hallmark ending was laughably bad.
Narrator unreliable because hypnotized… ingenious!
This redemption story has it all: lows, highs, humor, love.
One of HDK’s best and that’s saying a lot!
I really liked the concept, though it was pretty obvious early on, once i ruled out some of the more weird scenarios i've come to expect from literotica/lw writers.
I also liked that no actual cheating went on.
Overall, i think the story wasn't particularly well executed and you could have done a whole lot more with it, but i also understand that literotica isn't the place where novels are written, which is a shame.
Really well written story. The flow was well thought out or outlined. What a great take on a hypnosis event. First read of the writer and will explore other works. BTRH...
Imaginative and entertaining.
Not quite sure how it fits in the LW category though.
An interesting story of a freaky self-help method for mid-life crisis, depression, etc... , certainly far better than slipping into an affair.
Excellent read — this is my third time through this story. Won’t be the last. :)
Sort of knew it was not a TV simulated story but knew there was a twist Took me a while to work it out BUT in the end I loved it (jaybee186)
second time reading it for me . just as good this time even though i knew what was happening . probably closer to reality than we might think too . advances in medication and therapy have come a long way .
makes we wonder about that sleaze bag neighbor and not to leave him near my wife at all ever again.
Great story from a master story teller. I love how accurately your use of punctuation is. I learn from it. The only advice I humbly and respectively offer you in this department is that you tend to overuse your exclamation marks. 5 Stars.
