Odysseus Return Saga Served Up with a Side of Salsa

Olivia held off her monetarily minded suitor in this story just as Penelope did her would be swains who found out in lethal fashion they were not up to Homer's snuff in terms of invincible heros. Cab was not to be denied either in reassuming his rightful throne or mastering the preterite tense in Spanish,

This story was entertaining but a bit bowdlerized because HDK hinted at but drew back drew back from the full potential of Olivia transposing to Circe character from Odysseus story because that would have entailed a few bastard sons and immense moral gray area. This author did not want to get into Game of Thrones complications and went for dispensable lite comic/action ditty instead. It was entertaining

So mission accomplished... I guess. Sigh.

I grudgingly thank Hardaysknight for sharing.

A returning hero Odyssey on the Mexican border. Brings to mind ‘We Can Work It Out’, one of my favorite HDK stories. As always, fun and entertaining. Thanks much.

Good story, although it was a bit too convenient that all the major players were in the car park just in time to witness Cab's heroics. Still 5*.

For Anonymous "well"

You are obviously a sore loser. The story is about a man overcoming long odds; much like a good man defeating a traitorous, mean-spirited incompetent thug. Wonder who that could be?

Good, nay, great story 5*

I do have one nagging question, does Cab have brother by the name John Steve Deere? If not they should meet and have a couple of cold ones 😉

As always, I did enjoy the humor mixed into the story. While this is a little long it flowed nicely and there did not seem to be any unnecessary fluff.

Engrossing yarn. The kind of story that made HDK an LW legend two decades ago. 5 star effort.

Yawn

You forgot to credit the Hardy Boys story you appropriated. You, sir have managed to combine YA with erotica. How, you ask? By ignoring the erotica entirely.

You’re a darling here, so you can do what you want, but how did this story get into the LW section?

Your earlier stories, while not particularly well written, sometimes dealt with real feelings. Now? Not so much.

WargamerWargamerover 3 years ago

Yep, a good story by HDK, I liked it a lot. End was a bit rushed though.

Because of that I score it 4/5

You ended this too soon. That killed the story.

After you got this going ,you ended it in a gallop. Wife ,Olivia, thugs father senator all appear together and police cruiser takes in a senator. You needed this to go longer things just do not happen so quickly.

good story

A bit brief for a period of 10 months, but I understand the reason. It's always nice to read a story where the good guy wins, it seems so far from reality, and rare. I really enjoyed the story in as much as I couldn't stop till I finished it.

Another good one from one of the masters. Although you could have created a little tension in the marriage because she was on a date with the senator. Just saying. Without it, this could be in non-erotic. Still, the story is exceptional. Thank you

Wow, this was really lame. What made you do it?

I'm embarrassed for you. Contrived, obnoxious, and a bit insulting. I spent several weeks in Mexico City on business and had some of the best food I've ever eaten, on 4 continents, and none of it was refried beans. Get a clue. And what was with playing into Donald Trump's claim that many Mexicans operating along the border are murderers and rapists? We even got a dirty politician, from Arizona, naturally. A Democrat by chance?

Who goes riding a dirt bike by himself when he has a 14 year old son? Who goes riding out into the desert by himself without some kind of supplies, preparedness, communication, and a firearm? Whatever.

Thanks for the effort, there couldn't have been much.

Anonymous "Wow"

I notice that you begin many comments with "Wow" but often in a flattering tone. Not this time. It was a "wow" of disgust. Look at your complaints. They are laughable. It was some stretch to even dream up some of them. Are you an fiction aspiring writer?

1) The food. He spent ten months as a captive eating fucking rice and beans. It was not fine continental dining.

2) There are bad guys everywhere. These gangbangers happened to be in Arizona. They were never identified as Mexican. Ramon was from Bolivia by way of Greece. The rest were part of the infamous Nordic gang, The Blockheads

3) No political party was attributed to the state senator. Why do you suggest he was a Democrat? I avoid politics in my stories. I have no favorites, but many unfavorites.

4) He rode his dirt bike alone because he was upset at his wife. It was not a time for sharing marital issues with Jr.

5) "Who goes riding out into the desert by himself without some kind of supplies, preparedness, communication, and a firearm?" That was a really, really stupid comment. Almost everyone would ride a dirt bike up and down their local roads without carrying guns, knives, tents, rations, phones, or condoms.

I hope it is obvious that I love this shit! I do read comments and consider valid criticisms. Hell, it has helped shape me into the fucking genius I am today. I especially love when assholes have to reach so far out to invent complaints and criticisms. It reflects an agenda by the complainer, not a reasonable criticism. Envy is eating someone up?

This is a fucking story. If you want to be logical in LW, you should ask why lovers park their strange cars in the driveway. Why do so many people think they can sue a company when two or more employees do not adhere to company policy? Why do people think suing for alienation of affection is effective? Why does the other lover always have a bigger cock? Why does the new wife/girlfriend have bigger tits than the cheating wife? Why do wives think they can tell the husband that they will date and fuck other men and the husband will accept it? These issues exist, yet you want to know who rides a dirt bike around home without taking their son, gun, phone, drone, tent and gourmet food. You can't make this shit up! Thanks for the great comment and for reading my story so thoroughly. You made my day!

BuzzCzarBuzzCzarover 3 years ago

I read the comments after finishing reading the story. I can only think that there are two possibilities, my tastes are vastly different from most of these leaving comments or your deserved great reputation gets you a pass on this particular poor effort. I thought there were plot(that's really using the term loosely) holes big enough to drive that big dump truck through, absolutely awful cardboard characters, and damned insulting to Mexico in general. If this be humorous, I damn sure missed it.

KRD19254KRD19254over 3 years ago

HDK early on you had some really really good stories, then you faded into 'message & contrary type stories' that as often were lame, at best.

But this one is old HDK - VERY good, no message, but a plausible entertaining plot. The only miss here is the whack-their-meat LW groupies didn't get any practice reading this one.... The only other thing I see missing is the conclusion of what happen to the good Senator (and how he got away with it OR NOT - what the DEA/HLS did to the tunnel the good Senator funded, etc).

Enjoyed that, good solid entertaining story. I'm not a fan of every one of your stories but certainly most of them and this was a good one.

Good yarn

Sure it is fantastic in nature and some of it is a bit streotyped (when the banger says I am gonna cut you up', in pop culture would be said w a fake broad mexican accent)

But it was good. Not much tension w the wife,would have been better had he co e to find June nearly falls for the sleaze .

InfiniteCycleInfiniteCycleover 3 years ago
Interesting fairytale.

Much like a run-of-the-mill B-grade movie.

All the good guys won. All the bad guys lost. Nothing offensive.

I just don't understand why it's in loving wives. Yes, there was a relationship there, but it was only really an incidental part of the story, not even a sub-plot. She was just a part of the overall story arc, and all's well that ends well.

Refreshing that she wasn't part of the betrayal, and that she saw the snake for what he was, didn't even need to resist temptation, there was no real interest there.

Maybe if Cab had never returned, over time she could have been swayed, but the dialog leads one to believe that she wasn't even at that point yet.

This one would have been a better fit in non-erotic.

An adventure... ok.... but harmless.

BrentJWBrentJWover 3 years ago
Maybe it’s just me

HDK has always be a favorite but for some reason but for some reason the plot holes in this one kept me from enjoying it. How does a slave in a cave become well known? Why a tan? Cattle prods instead of guns? Going undercover as a Mexican slave?

FD45FD45over 3 years ago
Well, you lost me

I lived through the coincidences of Stevenson and Ramon being there and slavers.

I lived through the working slaves putting on muscle mass on 1,000 calories a day

I accepted that a man beaten for chewing loud would be less and not more submissive.

Suspension of Disbelief is a thing. I will give it to you to move the story along.

But then you shattered the deal and danced on its pieces by saying there was a GOOD Justice League Movie.

And how do you regain any credibility after that? ;)

MattblackUKMattblackUKover 3 years ago
An amazing adventure story

And a good LW story, too.

By the way, the journalist didn't go undercover as a Mexican slave, his cover was so good that they kidnapped him because they didn't realise he was a journalist, or they'd have killed him.

HarddaysknightHarddaysknightover 3 years agoAuthor

Just to put the tan question to bed, our hero roamed shirtless throughout northern Mexico for a week or so and became tanned. He saw no sun in the tunnel. He tans easily and gets quite dark. He wears a size 11 shoe. Read this shit carefully!

AnonymousAnonymousover 3 years ago

I honestly don't know how the score is so high. This "story" is silly, filled with more holes than a window screen. Somebody likened it to a "Hardy Boys" story. I disagree: this is nowhere near as sophisticated as the stories I read as a child.

If this was from a first-time writer, the author would receive kudos for submitting his first story, then suggestions on how to develop characters and dialogue, then someone would explain what "suspension of disbelief" means and warn him not to stretch it so incredibly far next time.

This, from a "veteran" writer, was just dumb. Mind-numbingly dumb.

HDK constantly brags about what a great writer he is: I hope he was being facetious, because this story was written for the simpleminded. I'm embarrassed for him.

Great story. Probably more trafficking for hard labor than anyone knows. I am wondering though, why did "anonymous huh" keep reading if it was not entertaining. Again wish Liter would ban anonymous posting as we all use fake names anyway. Unless he's just envious of the respect given to HDK on this platform... 😯

I"m sure there is a lot of that shit going on and many leftist politicians behind such things. Maybe El Cabron can team up with Trump to detour it. Loved the story and I think it would also make a great movie. FIVE*****

Plot.holes

Plot holes be damned, this was a great story. It might be a little OTT, or it might even be be too close to reality for some folks. This kind of thing happens along the border, whether the apologists will admit it or not. My friend, CD, observes that June was not having any innocent affairs while Cab was missing, like that's a bad thing. I'm glad she was waiting for him and gave this great story a happy ending.

Good Story But Not Your Best

Thought upto the escape and meeting Olivia was excellent but after that it felt as though you'd run out of interest and or sparkle and it seemed to run out of steam, as though you just wanted to finish it. Still a good story for me. 5 stars.

I enjoyed most of the story, but the ending was rushed. Almost like some else wrote the last page. Could have been a 5 if the ending had been written in a consistent manner.

Quite Pleasant

Thanks HDK for a nice, enjoyable light story. Some freshness built into the plot and locale was also appreciated. Now about those commenters expecting a complex masterpiece....sorry your fans' expectations have overwhelmed the normal range of Lit. submissions.

Keep 'em comin'.

green117green117over 3 years ago
Humm... let's see

I'm pleased that HDK is trying to expand the scope of what he writes - y'all should get behind this kind of thing from authors... really.

I'm not shocked that many of the comments are lame ass nit picking BS. Just saying. Desert buildings with no windows and holes would kill you to be in - assume that there was a lot of light for people to get around... unless you want the thing to be air conditioned?

It did look like it was condensed from a larger piece - lots of people, and situations, that were clearly there to be exploited (Olivia and Maria come to mind..), so to speak.

I will say, even on his own work, HDK is one of the better (more amusing) commentators on the site. (and FD40 was in fine form too... tongue in cheek helps balance the other thing...)

And I will forgive him not being true to the clichés of LW - he helped build this thing, he gets some slack to play in it.

No, the protagonist isn't a veteran... and the signature teenaged girl is not into power tools... but the protagonist does actually get some growth out of it. The villains seem a bit pastel - and didn't get enough screen time. You could have put more words to both the wife and her travails, and the FIL and his realization that he was being a dick - both were there, but not milked like that might have been.

I did like the wife shinnying up the protagonist while cursing him and humping his leg - that seemed authentic emotion in extremis.

eh... I'm looking forward to seeing where you are going with this endeavor. And, please forgive me a lame ass nit picking comment.

Good luck -

Very fun and positive. Shockingly, the wife didn’t fall to the charms of the evil interloper, which is pretty unusual on the LW site. Great lighthearted job!

It was a good tale. Read it 2x already though I didn't remember till the middle part.

Although the action part was a bit hurried but ok it was good. One thing bothered me though I couldn't get why a character Olivia needs to be there and her daughter? It was really quite irrelevant and took this story a bit longer but the action and reunion parts quite compressed. anyways, thanks author.

This was entertaining! A bit rough around the edges as far as syntax structure. Look back at several paragraphs in a row that all start with June, June, June, June! Fix those and a few other sentence constructs would have helped make this story run more smoothly. A proof reader perhaps? There a number of those on literotica, offering free services.

Still, I enjoyed the concept. Gave it a 4 rating as the shifts in scenes seemed to be too abrupt.

I had a feeling I was missing something -

Cabron, in old usage, meant cuckold.

as in "Hey, cabron ... got any naked pictures of your wife? You want some?"

These days, can also mean "bad ass".

Very context dependent.
