Ohhh, @martin ! Thank you for such lovely words. You have really brightened my day! I especially appreciate a comment on this part, since I think it originally got fewer views than the others due to some technical issues with the predecessor sites. Also the comments that I've seen have been that people think part 3 is generally the hottest part of the series so far, so I am very gratified you are impressed with the intensity of the sexual exploration in this part!

This is so intense! That fucking scene must be one of the hottest and intense I've ever read. How could I have missed this story for so long?!

Great story, very hot please don't stop! I really hope Ian will hypnotize Jay to slowly push Collin into his arms. Keep up the great work.

> Wow – thank you! That sentence felt very much like one of mine – balanced phrases, percussive consonants, strong adjectives – well done! I am not surprised. I've been reading your stuff since I was 15, 12 years ago. You, and all your stuff, played a huge role in my literary-sexual awakening. Thank you for writing ♡

> I really like the author asides when they appear–you manage to strike a perfect balance between winking/nudging (which gets really old after a while) and speaking frankly to the reader without totally removing them from the world of the story. > I love Tom Robbins -- and I will take any chance I can to plug him! If you have not read him, immediately stop reading this and order one of his books on Amazon (or whatever service you use). May I recommend "SKINNY LEGS AND ALL" -- my first exposure to him -- his famous "EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES" or his beautiful "JITTERBUG PERFUME" where we learn the secret of immortality is sex and beets. Funny, insightful, his love of language and playful narratives will make you love words to the point where reading and dancing are the same thing. My narrative asides are all me channeling Tom Robbins. > West Virginia crew fleeing the scene and heading to parts unknown. Do I sense a European adventure coming? > Think a little more tropically. In the FORUM, we've been discussing symbionts and cold weather/ winter/ darkness and whether those would be weaknesses for them. I say, let's go south! > I love how the story serves a small reminder of what I think is one of your major themes–the notion that power almost always corrupts. (THEY)... keep desiring more, more, MORE despite having amazing bodies and perfect health. Nothing is ever enough, especially the feeling of being worshipped. In the old stories, gods needed praise and worship like a drug–it kept them alive and powerful. > This is so well stated, I just wanted to draw attention to it again and thank you for the observation.

> Your sense of the dramaturgical is exquisite, your feel of tempo and rythm impeccable, your stories are orgasm-inducingly tense and exciting. > Wow -- thank you! That sentence felt very much like one of mine -- balanced phrases, percussive consonants, strong adjectives -- well done! A few years ago, I was hired as the dramaturg on the "new" National Tour of CAMELOT -- basically, my job was to take a three-hour juggernaut and bring it in at 90 minutes, yet still maintain the "integrity" of the original piece. A pageantry musical, CAMELOT is a lot of standing around with sweeping monologues and boring songs. In some ways, it was easy to bring it down because it lacks so much content. Anyway, I worked on it for a couple months, going through at least four drafts for the producers -- only to find out Lerner's (the librettist and lyricist) granddaughter had already created a 90-min version that had been approved by the estate. I immediately got a copy and found that we were fairly close (I got rid of a few more songs than her). I got paid really well to research a show I don't like and create a script that was never used. Dramaturg.

What a thrilling conclusion! I really like the author asides when they appear--you manage to strike a perfect balance between winking/nudging (which gets really old after a while) and speaking frankly to the reader without totally removing them from the world of the story. I honestly did not expect the twist of the West Virginia crew fleeing the scene and heading to parts unknown. Do I sense a European adventure coming? :p And poor, poor Tully...as I said in an earlier comment, I do genuinely like her character. I wonder what will become of her? Murdock is gone--there doesn't seem to be a way to extrapolate the Symbiont from him. WIll she have to kill him? Will he kill her? Finally, I love how the story serves a small reminder of what I think is one of your major themes--the notion that power almost *always* corrupts. The Sheriff, the Great One, Murdock...they're all corrupted by the Symbionts and keep desiring more, more, MORE despite having amazing bodies and perfect health. Nothing is ever enough, especially the feeling of being worshipped. In the old stories, gods needed praise and worship like a drug--it kept them alive and powerful. This story reminds me of that. It's brilliant. :)

absman, I adore your writing, I really do. Your sense of the dramaturgical is exquisite, your feel of tempo and rythm impeccable, your stories are orgasm-inducingly tense and exciting. Thank you for writing stuff, dude. And thank you for that short pruning at the start of this chapter.
