That was a complex story told in a very compact format. Very nicely done. I'm still curious about the reminders that Hirako set every single time. Perhaps that is something you planned for the expansion. Oh, and ditto on "My Fall and Rise." One of my all time favorites.
Thank you.
I appreciate your taking the time to read the story and comment.
Things were mentioned in the story that served as both hooks for possible future chapters as well as atmosphere.
Have a great weekend.
This story has all the makings of a great series. I hope that you will continue it. It brought to mind some of David Drake's novels.
That being said, the Valentine's Day aspect felt like it was taped on. So while I really enjoyed the story, I don't feel like it is a great candidate for the contest.
Salute!
Your "genius" Hirako actually demonstrated intelligent behavior! That is all too rare in fiction... especially erotic fiction.
Thank you so very much for a dozen breaths of fresh air! :-) :-)
