a good story follow up.
mind you, she seems a bit aphasic or autistic in the way she behaves. learned behavior is quite flexible, like going out and ignoring people - not being rigorously into a male dominated mind set, be learning to treat people differently.
but who knows with her?
Very good writing. I hope you post more of the same. Thank you.
unlike anything else I've read in "Loving Wives". Beautifully written, like all of this writer's work, and full of genuine affection. It's great!
Man, you even made me cry. Tssss. You put every thing here: the growing love, the shifts from vulnerability to trust and the resulting growth of the characters themselves. You can sense how love heals them all like water and sun to a plant.
One can get very addicted to this kind of quality - and than what?
Keep your wonderful sensitive writing, and keep it coming! (soon?)
Thank you.
Thanks for your story - is a refereshing read. Creative and funny.
i love both chapters. well-written and really liked the characters.
thanks
What a story! You must have looked up a website (for worlds most awful name for a child) to come up with Dory's horrible moniker. This is a pair of very strange mates, but I think I like them a whole lot. The interlude with Claire was wonderful and I could really see her doing it. I would love to learn even more about these characters, but someone should whack the guy real hard for the names he's choosing. I know it's all in jest, but come on, do you really think Dora would put up with that foolishness (grin)?
Thanks for sharing!
very new kind of story. well appreciated. very good. seems very real.
Having Dory is a God send if i had someone like Dory i would bow down to God and thank him for sending her to me if i was him she doeswnt fool around with strange men and she is faithful to him always Dory has me crying when i read this story.

Its better the second time around. Sometimes it good to experience memory problems. My daughter says I can watch a good movie over and over again. LOL I loved this story. Great Job. Thanks
I loved it..Is it true? It made me think so in any case. and you are right, people with that kind of mindset will be seen as strange.. But what you got is love and trust.. The biggest things in life.. Take care of that. Cheers Yoron.
Your story was humorous as well as touching. I found your story to be captivating. This was indeed a well written story. Thank you for sharing this story with us. It was a pleasure reading it.
an extremely good read. none of the usuall huff and puff just two people learning to love and live
Keep up the great work. I loved the dialogue. Hope to see more of your stories soon.
Totally different to the stories I usually read on this site, but I spent the entire time with a smile and felt good once I finished it.
Congratulations on a fine story. Loved it. How about another. Well done. Thank you.
This was superb, simply and utterly superb. Loved the strong woman from the cult. Would love to read another story like this. Please consider it. This was one of the best. Thank you, and pleeeez write another!
one of the best i have ever read. i'm a sucker for a good love story. you get a 5.
very good -- and the character of the girl makes it something unique--you know a diamond does not fit a mold either -- that does not make it less unique.
I read it a long time ago and it took me a while to relocate it. Lots of "rescue" stories, and it wasn't tagged. Worth the search!
I wonder if this person stop writing This was a great story very refreshing storyline. Thank you for sharing.
A great story of two different people who could be savants(at least one of them). It is full of love and compassion and very humorous.
I loved the whole story. Two totally different people who together make one being. I wish my second wife had been like Dory!!. Ro be able to love and enjoyu a woman like her would be totally magical.
I must applaud his patience because having to live with Dory everyday would be taxing for even the calmest of men. An interesting, original story line. My questions? How did he make a living? Because in the beginning, with him away at work, how did Dory survive? And did no one from the cult ever look for her?
This is one of my favorites of all. I feel like I know Dory.
Great story, needs a sequel. Odysseus never left dido, she was in the aeneid. Steve
No discernible sexual content in John Donne's poems? Read them again! Oh My America - my New Found Land!
What a wonderfully different story. I nearly dident read it and now glad I find. I'm sure there must be another few chapters to come please.
I'm going through your stuff, one by one. Some of your stories appeal to me more than others, this one is off the charts. Odd that you had only one, prolific year, and then nothing. Too bad for us.

This is a love story. I fell in love with the character Dory. She is one hell of a woman. I loved her simple honesty. When he asked her if she loved him, and she said something like if I didn't you wouldn't be my husband. So simplistic but so true. This is a story that I wish was much, much longer. I was actually sad when I finished it. It made me me feel so good. Thank You for writing such a wonderful story.
It's sort of amazing to think that she managed to survive in a cult for near onto twelve years being how she was. What an oddly likable character. I'm not delusional enough to make any comments about how I'd feel about knowing someone like her in real life but she's the kind of person who it would do your soul good TO know her.
This is hands down the coolest story I've read on here. Great job!!
This has to be one of the best stories I have read on here, funny and sad almost in the same sentence. A good story well written. Carrying on to read the rest of your stories. Wish there were more.
Both the story and the character are as charming as anything I've read in Lit. I can only imagine what effort and ingenuity it took to work out consistent details of Dory's relationship with the mundane world.
Thank you for writing such a thought provoking epistle. It made me look at my own relationships with fresh eyes.
One of the most unique and wonderfilled stories. I wish thereally were more stories by you to read.
I think the attraction is that, though Dory is human, it actually HAS the feel of someone getting in a relationship with some alien being... And I love Sci-fi...
Probably one of the best short pieces in all Literotica, and definitely one of the funniest. I suspect that Dory probably expanded her store of English poets to include Suckling and Marlowe
I have read a lot of work on this site and this is a unique story. Another commenter mentioned how although she is human she definitely has an alien flavor. I wish the freedom of religion would also be interpreted as freedom FROM religion as well. Brainwashing children with religion of any sort when they are too young to be able to determine fact from fiction is just wrong. And I am not targeting a specific religion as I believe they are all equally wrong in doing this. Everyone claims to right, most can't be so how many children are growing up with a view of the world that is shoved down their throats with no evidence to back up any validity. Teach children how to think and discover on their own rather than shoving pure data into their skulls that often is inaccurate, disagrees teacher to teacher, and offers no discovery for the child. Also often when a teacher is wrong the child is expected to swallow this wrong information because the teacher "can't" be wrong.
People who plan their life around a being that they cannot see, hear, touch or interact with in anyway is no different than someone with an imaginary friend. Common amongst children and yet if their "delusions" persist we drug and psychoanalys them. Why is the shared delusion of all powerful sky fairies any different?
I loved it. Your characters are strange and don't really belong in the world but gel well together.
I've always felt that way...can totally identify with Jack. Dory is a whole different kind of strange.
And living alone does become a habit.
Always nice to find another gem of a story! Oddball but nice with a feeling of complete love for the characters.
Beautifully written without pretension. Dory's mind and personality are bereft of bias and malice. Protective to death of her world and the people she loves. She is able to perceive the world logically and accept it as it is. A wonderful thought.
One must ask the question, how did this unique person evolve? Is there something special about her cult upbringing that molded her personality. Perhaps her mother was more perceptive than we give her credit for in joining and raising her within it.
I don't read many Romances; only if led there by following an author from LW, but if any story fits the category, it's this one. I don't think you would find a story like this on any other site. I did enjoy it. Nicely done.
I don't know what happened to Cloacas but it is a shame he is still not writing here. He is/was a great writer who is sorely missed (by me at least).
such a great story from a great writer. wish this writer would come back or at least let us know where we can find more of his (her?) writing.
This is an amazingly beautiful story, both chapters of it. It's easily among my very favorites on the entire site. You did a wonderful job fleshing out a very interesting and endearing couple living life in anything but an ordinary fashion. Her circumstances were unusual and fascinating and the way he finally understood her was really beautiful. Excellent, excellent work!
Excellent! good writing, funny and sort of sad at the same time. A little window into some people's "weird" lives and the "damage" cults do. Sad that there appears to be a new cult gripping about 1/4 of our voting population.
Just wow. What a fine piece of writing from 2005, now 18 years in the past. All these stories are worthy of note. And who is or was Cloacas? A nutty literary professor? There's a playful intelligence at work here and an unconventional, creative mind. These are all wonderful stories.
Still spectacular. One of the truly great stories here. I just feel happy when I read this. Thank you, Mr. Cloacas, wherever you are. Randi.
Third reading. Even though I know what's going to happen, the joy of the journey is still captivating because you do such an incredible job of getting into the mind and character of this feral young lady. Of all the early writers no longer contributing, your creation of Dory's story makes you singularly missed.
