All Comments on 'The Shack: The Milk Run'

Thought those blue topaz eyes came from Evie, not The Reinhardt (and isn't he dead)?

Delany Forever!

This is the second story I've seen from this writer. I don't get it. Wash, dry and repeat. They aren't loving wives stories and don't belong here.

Before you comment take the time to GOOGLE Major General Smedley Butler. You will find it a most interesting read. Todd here seems to have painted a pretty good picture of what's going on in U.S. today and has been for some time. Oh as to the story it should get a 10 or perhaps a 20. Interesting don't you think that Tara, Tiffany, Emma and Delaney are all sisters fathered by the Reinhardt. Thanks Todd for a story that has a lot of fact in you read about Smedley Butler.

Amazing as usual.

When Emma was doing public engagement and pinned Delaney, Tess, et al., the blue topaz eyes didn't jump out at Mack, Tess or any of them? If not then, then later?

As always, TOP NOTCH!

I wanna know more about Delaney and the bulldozer

Every time I think that Todd172 and the Missus can't write a better story, I have been proven wrong. And I am just delighted about that. I have been waiting for this new Shack story for months, checking the site on a nearly daily basis. And in the darkest hour of the night, I know that it was worth it. A constellation of stars is nowhere near enough to rate this story

Just got Online and as usual dropped into Lit,LW, see if anything worthwhile is up.

Eyes spot The Shack You fargging little beauty. Todd’s posted yeahhhhhh

Another " Brilliantly Crafted" Masterpiece 5 stars and a big thank you to both of you

cheers an " Aussie Shackaholic "

So.. lemme start by saying THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

There, got that out of my system.

Seriously. Keep doing this. Keep writing these stories. Because they are, simply, amazing. Wonderful, hilarious, ... I'm going to run out of adjectives, so I won't get going.

Thank you.

The Reinhardt- no shit... 5☆!

Fantastic! Can't wait for "Luther's War".

Amazing. Thug bunny and her posse. Please keep it up.

Yet again a very entertaining story with believable characters that you want to know more about. Cannot wait to read further stories about these characters. In the meantime once again I am rereading the authors previous stories.

You should be getting published.

Your stories could easily be made into movies.

Just too good.

I can only give 5 stars more if I could.

absolutely brilliant and long and awaited for chapter....love the way both series are interconnecting and eagerly looking forward to the next instalment....many many thanks for posting on this free forum and am sure that many of us around the world appreciate you and your teams efforts....your characters are starting to become comfortable and familiar with us and that is truly a mark of a gifted wordsmith....from the bottom of the world in NZ

I cannot tell you how excited I was to see another Shack story posted. Easily one of my favorite series. Look forward to the next one.

Excellent stuff - like Maria's fallback career option working with Mookie - ties lots of stuff together - think I posted on another Needles & Delaney story about the girls meeting Spooky - seems you were already there (or was it the missus ?) ... just one more thing - you aren't setting up for a Tess & Mookie romance are you ? ....

Brilliant!

Some heavy name-dropping going on here, must've mentioned or featured most of the extended cast by the time the story was done. Action was a little less than previous Needles and Delaney fare, but as a way of setting up Thugbunny's solo career after Needles is really over the hill, it's expertly done.

I can't help but wonder why this series is still staying in LW, since the ex only played a peripheral role in the first story and has faded further into the background with each sequel. Not to complain, though - they're definitely some of the best stories in the section.

Thanks to you and the Missus...the saga grows

Damn eff this is good. thank you for this continuation of the story but i want an interaction between the monster and Delaney.,

Been thinking it was time for the next addition to the Todd172 Shack Universe. You and your spouse just get better with each creation. When you posted multiple Needles/Delaney stories I was concerned that it might become too much of a tangent from the (beloved?) Shack cast but you have masterfully interwoven the old band into the current scenarios. Can't begin to imagine the planning these require. Once again many thanks for sharing your adventures.

Well, I've bought the first one, now waiting for you to put the sequels on sale ... :)

I've read all your stories here, and never was disappointed. Congratulations, another great story, time well spent. And please, also put "the tales from the shack" in print/ebook form so that we can show our appreciation in a more tangible way. You deserve it.

Was already a huge fan of your and the missus' work, but this has got to be the best damn thing I have ever read even if is not technically a "Loving Wives" story. Already bought your Amazon book on Needles and Delaney and have never regretted it! Love you guys and cannot wait for more! Fuck. Reinhardt?! Really?! Fuck.

What a happy surprise to see this! Todd, as usual thank you for your work. I hope you know how much it is appreciated.

As usual, just brilliant. I do love any of your stories that have members of the shack in. Being greedy I would have loved to see monster in this one. You write such great characters, the 3 girls are worthy of the series and I hope to see more of them. Thanks for writing.

First discovered the tales from "The Shack" while recovering from a spinal operation, such great character studies, great pace and unpredictable arc's made them irresistible. There is something about them that reminds me of the stories i read as a teen borrowing pulp fiction that my elder brother and father had left aside. I can think of no other author on Lit where i have favourite characters. Thanks for your works Todd172, 5 Stars

All the worthwhile praise has been written many times over, so I'll merely say 'Thank you' to this amazing writing team. May you never run out of stories to tell!

I've been waiting annd watching and a little frustrated but this wass so worth the wait. Thank you mate, you and your team have outdone yourself. A great read and some food for thought

Hated it. Non-erotic story doesn’t belong in Literotica.

Yawwwwn. And why is this in the LW category?

Brilliant, just brilliant. My only complaint is that I can only give 5 stars.

Fantastically written, just oozing tension and pace, better than most thrillers out of Hollywood.

I love all the Shack stories, actually all of your output, and this has just extended the fine tradition.

My only complaint is that I saw the story just before starting work this morning, and had to leave it untouched until lunchtime. I'm not designed for handling that level of stressful anticipation.

No pressure, but, more please. Whenever you can.

You’ve done it again. Absolutely fantastic. Gripping stuff!!!!

If only there was some way to give more than 5 stars for the occasional submission that is just extraordinary. Thank you again for sharing your talents with us in this timely tale.

5 stars just isn't enough. Another outstanding installment from a master story teller - and i didnt need to pay a penny for it. My thanks to you, the Missus and the rest of your team. Delaney needs her own movie series.

SP00KY KNOWS OF DELANEY PROBABLY AFTER SHE GOT HOME SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ONE GIRL TO POGO AND HOWARD AND THEY BROUGHT HER UP TO SPEED ABOUT WHO NEEDLES IS. DID POGO AND/OR HOWARD GO SEE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE STORY WAS ABOUT THEM AND HOW HE'S BACK IN THE LIVES OF HIS DAUGHTERS? DID CHARLOTTE KNOW WHO WAS THE BIO-FATHER IS ALL A LONG AND WAS SHE ABOUT TO BOOT CHUCKY TO THE CURB? DOES EMMA AND EVIE KNOW ABOUT WHO HER FATHER IS?

It is good to see more of your work.I have read everything you have written.I also got your book from Amazon.Could you put one out on Monster?

There are several authors on Lit who really know how to handle character voice, possibly the hardest job when writing. You have some serious skill here. Thank you for another fine tale (even if it was a bit of a Whitman's Sampler of a cast).

Like every other Shack tale this one is incredible. Why you haven’t gathered stuff up and put it into novel form is beyond me! Movie studios would be all over this. Can’t wait for your next installment!

Thanks to both of you and your crew of helpers for superlative storytelling.

Another excellent addition to the series!

Todd, as always great work, thank you. And your followers know why it's in Loving Wives. And that Delaney's mom is a cheater, and part of Needles' anger issues.

@PeckingChicken I don't think the Reinhardt's eye color is specifically mentioned. Blue eyes is a distinct possibility, in which case the topaz coloring might be dominant among blue-eyed offspring and explain Emma. Or a dominant mutation -- Elisa (Emma's daughter) has the same color too. There are circumstances where specific shades of eye color can be tricky. Or -- my favorite theory -- the Reinhardt had the same unusual color, and that's why he married Emma's mom. My first wife had eyes so emerald green that as a baby her parents (both green-eyed, BTW) took her to a specialist on the orders of her pediatrician -- there's a rare but serious condition that can cause that. But it was just her natural eye color, she kept it all her life, and seeing her for the first time that color stopped me in my tracks and prompted me to date her even though I don't have green eyes.

Thanks, mate. I have missed Thugbunny. Glad to see her back.

I question the category the story is placed in but not the writing quality. That is excellent. Many thanks for the story as it wound and wiggled its way through. Cheers.

Outstanding. I read all the Shack stories multiple times. I hope the series continues as people keep trying to kill Delaney and run into "difficulties".

Great story.

Kinda miss Sheree in this, but I can't see how she would have fit in to it. Not having Delaney and Needles interacting missed a bit too.

The blue eyes, I thought that was Evelyn, not Das Reinhardt?

These are great characters, lots of potential stories in them, with crossover, like the reference to Shameless.

Looking forward to your next stuff. In the meantime, I'm gonna reread this one.

BTW: On the android app, the story doesn't load properly, it truncates about a third of the way through, right after:

"Your water system, though. I know how to make that a lot better. " *****

Glitch in the matrix somewhere, I guess.

as always beautifully written, dialogue believable, love the stories keep on keeping on.

Five stars is where the rating system here should start for any Shack story

Amazing and so much fun! First time commenter and have always loved these stories. Would make an awesome movie! Thanks for writing and continuing to post!

Outstanding. We need a published anthology.

Great story, superbly told, 5 stars, plus a million more! More of this soon, please!

Thanks Todd. Homerun as always.

Doc

Like all stories from the shack and especially about Delaney, I really enjoyed it. Look forward to more Needles and Delaney.

As allways, a great read. Love your character development and plot lines. Probably my favourite author on this site. Ignore the guy who said it doesn't belong in "Loving Wives" obviously too lazy to read the comments explaining why it is there. 😁

Damn, how many of your stories do I have to favorite? As always, you and the Missus kicked ass!

They just keep getting better and better,. Bringing in some of Pogo’s bunch and the tidbits from other stories was great. Delaney and Needles has been an awesome series. Here’s hoping you take monster out for a walk in the near future.. Please keep it up and thanks for keeping the stories together.

Will have to read this again 5-6 more times to get all the juice out of it but you and the Missus get 6 stars! Great way to start the weekend! Can't wait for the next story!

Just fucking fantastic. 5 stars, thanks so much.

Entertaining, believable, and accurate tech

Late in 2016, "Behind Blue Eyes" placed Emma as a near impossible pregnancy:

"I paid - very dearly - for the privilege of viewing his medical records. Emma was almost literally a miracle." as The Reinhardt's tadpoles were 99 44/100% jellyfish.

In 2021...

"But that odd blue topaz color... I'd seen it before.

Delaney resembled her sisters.

All of them.

Tara...Tiffany...

And Emma."

Which leads me to wonder if Evelyn Cabot didn't have a wandering genome, manifesting as the equally lustful for money and power, former Mrs. Lester Dawes, Chartlotte. a/k/a "that bitch".

Also from 2016 Howard voiced: "She glanced around for a moment then looked up - right at me. I could see her clear blue eyes through my scope as they settled on my position."

I don't recall any mention of The Reinhardt's eyes other than "shark-like" when losing the custody battle for Ellie. Elisa would share those same eyes later in the same story "Blue Topaz Eyes" (July 2016).

Thanks for an otherwise compelling read - per usual!

Wow. Excellent story that had me totally engaged.

To the previous Anon, Todd explained that the entire Shack series, with permission from the admins, is posted here since, presumably, the earlier stories in the series were posted here.

Best one yet! Still waiting patiently for Jinxy's story.

Another fantastic tale from Todd172. Thank you.

Great story. Looking forward to the anthology. Keep up the fantastic work.

The GOAT of literotica. Love this series. Great work

Excellent story, well written.

This has the promise to become a series of novels.

Endless scenarios possible, following the team of young desperados and Maria.

Man I love the Shack, much props to you and the Missus. Keep them coming!!

Ahhhhhhh……

Just what I needed for an early mornin’ read!

Thank you for this lovely tie up. 5 stars, great stuff. I must read the Needles and Delaney book a third time. If you ever put tales from the shack out as a book, I'd buy it.

From the first story here that I read from Todd, Thugbunny (Delany) has to be my favorite character of all time. Thanks so much for keeping her alive- I could spend hours reading about her just brushing her teeth. To give her some 'friends' is a big bonus.

Thanks for the early holiday gift. Loved it!

Great job!!!. Your Needles and Delaney stories are my favorites. Keep them coming.

Beyond excellent! (As usual)

Thank you , thank you, thank you, you and the misses are my absolute favorite author . your characters come completely to life. I cannot tell you how entertaining your stories are to me the wit comedy the real gritty Gore it's absolutely amazing thank you and I look forward to your next offer. I wish they had 10 stores that's how much your stories are enjoyed. Sorry for the run-on sentences but I am older can't navigate the text he is very well again thank you.

There's something here for everyone... And this is mine.

Really enjoying The Shack series. Please don't stop.

Very well researched, and well written, just saying

Stunning, as always. It's a true pleasure to read writing that is clean and masterful, full of intricate character development, with never a false note, and full of compelling characters. Every time I read one of these stories I love that I can simply relax and slip seamlessly into this world without fear my suspension of disbelief will come undone.

My only faint complaint is that this author isn't more prolific, though that's something I completely understand. It's ultimately probably a good thing, as I'd have a lot fewer hours in my days.

Excellent work. Love the series. Would love to see another book or three.

And very fine story tellers you are.. It is always a good day when your stories appear.

Thank you for sharing your passion and the results of that passion with us. We do appreciate it. Be well and continue to do good work.

Should publish The Shack Series as server also novels. Loved the story. Someone missed the love between Maria and Micheal, so it does belong in LW.

I love it. I bought your book even though I read the stories at least 6 time. I love stories like this and I appreciate you and the Missus writing them. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Todd172 - brought an unexpected smile seeing a new story from you. Have you thought about putting ALL your Shack stories on Amazon for a couple bucks apiece? Even though we get to read them here, I’d buy them there to support / encourage more stories. You definitely have a talent.

I think it's great! Ignore the comments of ignorant idiot's. His post is an example of someone who doesn't bother to read a series to understand enough the background for a story to make sense before expressing an opinion. Unfortunatly there are far too many people like that in in world.

You may have waited a few years to release this story as you built that background but I, and I'm sure, many others, have waited equally long to read it. We'll happily want as long as you require to read more too!

Thank you for the time and effort you (and your wife) spend entering us, the price is right and if you decide to actually charge for your talent, just let us know where to send the money, you're both worth it!

You have done it again. Just when I think you can't write anything to match your latest story, you write something like this. I can't say this is the best because of other top drawer stories you have written. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Of course, 5*.

Absolutely Awesome! Loved every word!

To the anonymous who wrote the wash, dry, repeat comment; Please refrain from trashing one of the best authors on this site. If that anonymous would take the time to read ALL of the explanations leading into the stories, the reason for placing it in Loving Wives could be understood. Take some time to read and think before you speak or write.

I'm pretty sure Tara and Tiffany are Needles actual daughters

Todd, I'm sorry the system only allows 5 stars. I am a true fan of your writings, particularly Delaney & Needles. I would love to see them is a full paperback, or even a movie. I eagerly look forward to your next story. Thank you.

Loved some of the lines in this one - hiring a lawyer for seventy three cents and a D&B token. Delaney is a hoot. Missed an opportunity to let Monster take out some bad guys, as the lawyer connection kind of fizzled out. Super story!!

I can only agree with Boyd on this one Delany forever

Brilliant story yet again Todd many thanks to you the missus and your editors for the effort you all put in to entertain us.

Can't wait for the next story

Steve

Thank you. I just can't stop reading this series. Needles and Delaney are two of the best characters to ever be dreamed up. Hope there's more.

Another story from the Shack...made my month. Thanks for all of the call outs to the rest of the group...now I'm going to have to reread the whole set of stories again. It was fun to learn more about Delaney's gang from summer camp...gotta love young professionals!

If anyone out there loves Needles and Delaney stories, head out to Amazon and buy the three story anthology. I did and it's in my regular reading rotation.

WOW! Another terrific story. Great plot. Thanks! cowboy100

Needles and Delaney would make a GREAT movie franchise!

Great story as usual! I’m a little surprised that Delaney is a Reinhardt by blood as in Behind Blue Eyes, Evelyn was positive that there where “no other Reinhardts” out there. I assume you have some sort of back story as to how neither Evelyn or her late husband knew that there was indeed another Reinhardt.

OH my GOSH that was great. I have read everything u have done here n have totally enjoyed every single word . So pls more more but faster the wait time kills me. Bit seriously thanks for all urs n the misses hard work dedication n time out of ur lives to do this. It is greatly appreciated .

Wow! Excellent.

"This is the second story I've seen from this writer. I don't get it. Wash, dry and repeat. They aren't loving wives stories and don't belong here."

Then go elsewhere! You have the option not to read them!
