"Best Laid Plans" by Kim (odd bondage) 9, 9, 9
"Best Laid Plans" by Kim (ghost@nym.alias.net). Kim's stories are There are a million reasons not to bind yourself completely to your bed in anticipation of your lover. This story demonstrates one of those reasons. Actually, this story demonstrates several of those reasons. Indeed, this story applies Murphy's Law to that situation. Very early in the story I put two and two together and figured out the end of the story. It's not that I'm really smart. I don't know much about history. I don't know much about geometry. But I have begun to understand Kim's mind - at least to the point where I can tell when and how I am being set up in her stories. Yeah, right! OK. Now I don't want to give this story away. We have Kim bound and handcuffed to the bed, waiting for Rob. The phone rings, and Kim hears Rob telling the answering machine that he won't be coming home till late that evening. Soon she hears a burglar in the house. Oh, I forgot: Kim is NAKED and handcuffed, etc. To make matters worse, the burglar is disguised in a Richard Nixon mask. You know - Richard Nixon - the guy who saw "Deep Throat" fifty times, so that he could get it down Pat. I'm sorry: I'm supposed to leave the political satire to one of my guest reviewers. The really bad part about the burglar in the Tricky Dick mask is that he remains silent, but he still wants to communicate with Kim. In short, Kim is going to be raped by a Bad Mime. Realizing that Kim is THE Kim of a.s.s. fame, Tricky Dick wants her to finish one of her stories for him. There's surprisingly little sex in this story. There's also a surprisingly long story in this story. There are also a large number of allusions to a.s.s.d. people, and the millions of readers who don't go to that newsgroup may miss some of these. Overall, it was a good story, but not one of Kim's best. But remember: not all of Shakespeare's plays were his best either.
