"Dreams" by DickD (stroke fiction)
"Dreams" by DickD (dickd49@aol.com). {Link: See TOC.} Guest review by Fiddler. When first you read this story, you notice that none of the characters is dreaming. The whole story, however, is really plotted like a dream. The transition from one event to the next makes a certain kind of sense, but the third event has no relationship to the first. Aside from the first (very short) chapter the author provides us with plenty of sex. The male first narrator starts by telling us about a trip to a lakeside party which we, but not he, realize is going to be an orgy. After reporting on one sex scene which he sees and hears, however, he stops to tell us about his former girlfriend. We never get down to the lake. Chapters 3 and 11 are mostly about his experience with his girlfriend, Kathy. Chapters 4 through 10 are his third-person account of what she had gone through with another boyfriend, Doug, and another couple, Karen and Jim. Chapter 12 is Kathy's first-person account of being raped by some guys whom she was using to make Doug jealous. Chapters 13 through 17 are Karen's version of the same events. It's hard to reconcile Kathy's relationship to Doug with her relationship to the first narrator. None of that matters very much. This is stroke fiction, and it provides lots of sex, consensual, nonconsensual, oral, anal, vaginal, observed. It also gives us (when you ignore the first narrator's chapters) a reasonable development of passion and romantic involvement. Ratings for "Dreams": Athena: 6 Venus: 8 Fiddler: 9 |
