"The Kind Men Like" by Q. Daphne A. (strip-qda@mindless.com). Guest review by JJMoneyBoy. Q Daphne A has quickly become one of my favorite authors, this being the 5th story that I've read. This one adds the element of science fiction, and quite nicely. A young woman finds herself used as a "model" for a sex machine/toy. She is stunned to find a "model" in her apartment one night. That reality gives way to an even stranger ending, as they quickly become, ummmm .... more than just friends. It was a story that had me scrolling as quickly as I could devour the words. I'll admit that I'm not sure I find myself looking with too much eagerness toward the future, but, on the other hand ..... Daphne's description of the heroine is exquisite. The details of the futuristic times are elaborate and convincing. The conversation with the "machine" is both clever and funny. Oh geeez, I just had a thought. Daphne, did you slip Monica one of those power packs?? Does Ken Starr know about this?? It might just be enough to get our boy Bill off the hook. One more thing, Daphne ..... you forgot to include instructions on how to order a catalogue. Please make sure to get me the number before you give it out to your adoring public. After all, the "Kellys" are the kind men like!!!!! Ratings for "The Kind Men Like" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 JJMoneyBoy (appeal to reviewer): 10 |
