All Comments on 'Her Last Bow Ch. 02'

a really great piece of writing. keep up the good work. i think a lot of this writing may come from personal experience?

yeah - that's kinda what I was thinking about. :-)

5* - and a bloodied Katana t'boot.

Like the "Saturday matinee cliffhanger serials" of old, one KNOWS the good guys will win out, the suspense lies in "HOW THIS TIME" the "Calvary" will ride-in for the rescue.

That this story has "languished" in your grey matter for YEARS is a mystery to this old man BUT delighted it has now seen the light of day.

Your capable writing skills to stir deep emotions are evident by those felt during the honoring of Teresa Croyle's father, as am sure that most long time readers and many newer readers also experienced.

Well done WW and now, onwards and upwards to the next tale.

One Day at a Time,

The Ol' Man

Haha, you gut us good WifeWatchman, still was hoping you write what was on Sergei Molotov's last piece of mind before dying like he can't believe the Iron Crowbar bastard has got him and that will be the last thing he remembers. Or he could survive the cut to the neck and we will see him again. He's a Russian after all, in Russia, you don't die from a neck cut, the neck cut dies from you. I hope you understand the joke :).

And I've to say, your town's pretty weird man, trying to get over a rape by having more sex? I just don't know what to say man. People having sex with each other and also with their family members is one thing. All I know is the Town's not for me. But I'm sure the stories we could get there are definitely not gonna be ordinary ones. Say what's the name of the county again because I've never recalled you naming it yet. Oh and also to my previous question, why wasn't there a milk drinking scene from the previous chapter and in this one, that would've been hot.

Well onto the next phase of the Watchman, fellow readers.

Anon - I can assure you I've never killed anyone with a katana. :o)

I'd already posted Ch. 2 when I read the comments to Ch. 1, and I was saying "wait until y'all see what really happens!" Yep, Don is 'just business", but the katana part was hinted at but still unexpected.

Yes, this story (or its framework) and its title was on my mind for some time. Some stories (like 'Silverfish') literally came to mind while I was sitting in traffic, and some have been thought out for years. As always, the twists and turns wind around in ways even I don't expect, which is part of the fun.

Yeah, the Town is weird... and this is Literotica, so whaddya expect, eh? As to the milk drinking scene, Nick was sucking on Laura's teats during their mating, so work with it. I'm sure we'll have more of that stuff later on... and other "weird" stuff :o)

Last but not least: I'd gotten ahead a little bit on the stories, but Literotica has caught up to me. I'm working on the next story now (I changed the order of a few things, as well), so the next batch should be coming out pretty soon.

and it is a "tradition" that once a Katana is out of its sheathe, it cannot be returned without being blooded. The Crowbar Katana drank twice - even if it was of the same source. D'om Arrigato!

You have trained us too well not to see that the 8 men included Crowbar, Todd, Teddy and Misaki and not Molotovs men. What was unexpected was Teresa being brought along as well as the use of the crowbar katana which I know I forgot about.

As for Melina, I think she is dealing with a few things like she was sent to be raped and killed along with her sister, possibly by Mr. C who was willing to sacrifice her as he questioned her eventual loyalty. I expect she will be keeping her distance from Crowbar acting as a double agent working for Laura to take down Mr. C. You know the old saying blood is thicker than water? I think it applies here, otherwise Melina would have died and not been given a warning from IC and a talking to by her sister.

I think Laura and her came to an understanding and her allegiances have been shifted back to her sister.

Look forward to how this all works out in coming series.

Thank you for setting up a wickedly twisted Town & County that is fueled with sex, incest and intrigue.

Sorry Vincent Sergei Will not be back unless they can find a good seamstress that can put that mess back together again. To start with Don's stroke Beheaded Sergei leaving the Blade wedged into his collarbone, Don's second swing cut the body in half to boot, Then the other 8 team members took a slice out of it as they departed the scene.

There Hass to be a Melina story coming where She Thanks Mr. C for all his great work for the CIA by arranging a private meeting with the Troy Family if you can catch my Jest. or maybe Melina will just cap him herself for his part in this mission. Hummm???? Just a thought.

Great Stories Like always 5++++++ *'s

After writing my comment I started thinking about what I read also. And had to go back and read it myself, Yes Sergei was Beheaded Don's first cut was the wrist, his second cut was to behead the Bastard and in the process removing his arm at the shoulder. The others of his team did blood there swards on the corpse as they left. I did get that right! I can not imaging why I thought I remembered a third cut to the body maybe to many Kung Fu movies on the EL RAY Network, or wishful thinking??? LOL

Since there was a big clue about how he would return the favor (capture of the Jackal) to Don in the very near future. And as others have said, the crowbar katana did need to make an appearance. (Side note: I'm not really into weapons and all, but IMHO, the katana is one of the most effective weapons created - the sharpness, the hardness, yet not brittle so it typically won't break - really speaks of the craftsmanship of the sword makers. And as a personal expensive indulgence, I got kitchen knives that were made using a similar technique to the sword craftsmen. And out of the box, they're the sharpest, best cutting knives I've ever used.)

I did fear a death in this one - had thought it might be Melina, but unlike some, I'm not convinced she's gone over to the Dark Side - after all, she did save the IC's life several stories ago with her sharpshooting skills. But she would be a most formidable opponent. Future stories will explain her involvement with the white supremacist groups - for better or worse.

Glad Laura is done with the CIA - and I'm looking forward to read about how the IC finds the CIA "consultant".

You hit the bullseye with the comment about the inconsistency of treatment of information for classification purposes. I had a colleague doing some civil defense project for a federal agency who had trouble getting access to information - he had the clearance for the reports, but not for the TITLES of the reports, which were classified at a higher level and thus he had trouble searching the databases. I laughed and told him I had the data he needed from an open source - a book published by an academic press in 1960. He had his own copy ordered off of Amazon in minutes.

This was an excellent story !! Would give it 10 stars. Great job.

Lovely ending. Excellent story. You're losing your touch, nothing in the epilogue to force me to start reading the next story immediately. 😁😁😁.

Reading my previous commentaries, I found several points that made this story special. First that Laura got to see her “ mother” one last time as the mother died. I don’t know the range of “Mr C” operation but the arrests of several double agents some must have been connected to him. Also Melina may have a change of heart when she realized that she was set up to be captured and killed. Nothing like a woman scorned! Being a dog lover, the final scene with Laura and Bowser touch my heart🥲🥲

*****I love adventure stories and you write some great ones to me. Thanks for sharing.
