Great story, especially the contrast of weeping and reaching for a towel.

Ugh. I was thoroughly disgusted, and thinking murder, and then I re-read the title. For some reason, that made everything okay.

This is still remarkably disturbing, but the premise … it’s like one of those dark Strewel Peter stories intended to caution children of the perils of this or that.

best line: “cartoonish scarlet”

Anyone willing to write a Strewel Peter style prequel to this, or any prequel at all, will have my undying gratitude.

jesteram – the worst part of this is that I had intended to write a funny story and by the time I’d finished I just felt vaguely uncomfortable. But, yes, it’s a cautionary tale.

You marvelous bastard.

In execution, it’s depressing and disgusting in a terrible way.

In concept, it’s absolutely hilarious.

The result is something that I don’t think “dark humor” quite covers.

I’m not sure if it really quite requires “mature” status, but then I think of how it could look if the wrong person was looking over a reader’s shoulder…

O.O
