Original presentation, well done

I liked the originality and the way you developed a unique situation, tied in Lovecraft and squid and made it all come together in a sexy way. Sometimes not everything hung together, but hopefully only the beginning of a series??

I'm thinking...

...that Dave will end up a recurring character. Too many cool situations he can get himself into. But no, we probably won't see Shannon or the squid again. What specifically doesn't hang together? I'd like to fix it if I can. Thanks for the comment.

Nicely done

Wonderfully written, and very hot. Very clever, I think, the way you used the environment of the decompression chamber -with the uncertainly of what's happening outside, and the certainty of what's going to happen inside (with a little Lovecraftian push to get things started).

I do agree that Dave, in his line of work, is sure to have many similar adventures - and I for one would look forward to reading them.

Good luck in the contest!

Oh man, this story got me going. This is one of the most original and best-written stories on the site. Normally passages about teasing aren't well-written enough to do anything for me, but in this story they were excruciating.

The environment and setup were original and not contrived, and the story was sexy all the way through without simply being a story about two random people having sex. I want to see both of these characters back in another story, and I want to see you keep writing!

This is Halloween how?

While it is admittedly a hot story, I don't see how this relates to Halloween at all, or steampunk, for that matter. You mention H.P. Lovecraft, but was there even a squid or anomaly?

I admit...

...that I was taking a bit of creative license with the Halloween theme. I thought spooky noises, the subtle idea of a monster without ever really seeing it, the classic image of the scared woman seeking out a dude's arms just like at the old drive-in horror movie... y'know. As for steampunk, perhaps it's just the way I picture the interior of the chamber. Lovecraft, however, is mentioned by name, so I'm afraid I don't understand that comment. Thanks for visiting, for your compliment about it being a hot story, and for adding your voice to the convo :)
