Story: 'Trapped in Hillsborough.'

[Falls]

Hi,

 

Now that Mick Coyle has thrown down the gaunlet with his wonderful "Trapped" story, my Bear story has been eclipsed.

 

To try and regain some pride, I have decided to throw caution to the wind and bring out what was to have be my original submission. I had put it on one side for technical reasons but needs must.

 

This is a work of fiction, and only fiction. It contains adult subject material and readers descretion is advised.

 

Trapped in Hillsborough.

Excellent Falls.

It doesn’t give me much time to concoct another tale; I hope you haven’t got many more of those surprises in the bag.

And what is the meaning of…..

(Unlikely To Be Continued)

I got all amorous with myself, so to carm down I had to go for a two mile jog and that’s not funny when you’re only wearing your pajamas and the wife’s fluffy pink carpet slippers, I heard the muttering as I passed the pub “Oh, It’s only the village loony”

Well Falls, would you credit it. A sexy novel.(The only one I DID want to be continued) Are you going to continue it ?

The story is a bit convulated at first, with too many extraneous bits of information which detract from the narrative.

 

Then the story gets into a good stride, and begins to flow more easily. The amorous fumblings are brilliantly described, without descending into pornography. The reader senses a climax approaching (no pun intended) but then the whole narrative is annoyingly interrupted and destroyed with ..... "(Unlikely To Be Continued)"! The story suddenly and abruptly comes to a halt at this point in the narrative! Why the self-censorship?

 

I didn't sense a feeling of the main character being trapped at all. Instead I felt that a young man had fallen lucky - big style - through a casual encounter with a sophisticated woman of the world.

Hello,

 

Yes, the first part was somewhat disjointed but that's one of my lingering problems. Trying to get all the details that I feel the reader needs to know and at the same time keep the narrative going. Obviously I need to work on it.

 

As for the " Unlikley To Be Continued ", the word " Unlikely" was a last minute addition. This type of story was a complete departure from anything that I have written before. I felt that if I did finish the story, it would also herald my "complete departure" from the group once Mantaspook and Shoeshine had a look at it.

 

Anyway, thanks for the comments.

 

Regards

Not at all, they would love you to continue it.

Falls this is an adult group.

Ok! That doesn’t say its wide open for obscenities, but most modern day authors have a bit of,(erm! we will not say sex, but bordering on) in their writing.

At first I was a bit shy to write stuff like that, but you have to cater for the wider audience.

Too much detail though - it spoils the flow of the narrrative. Tip: Try working in some of the details as the story unfolds, rather than cramming every detail into the scene setting at the beginning of the story.

I don't think Mantaspook and shoeshine would take any such action at all. As I said in my previous post, you avoided the story descending into pornography - not an easy task given the subject matter. You achieved this with brilliance in my opinion. Some very fine writing indeed, even if the subject matter was a complete departure from your usual style.

 

I think that the stories from Falls continue to improve in style, and I look forward to reading future stories. Keep up the good work!

You say "Unlikley To Be Continued " . What a shame, ive actually read it twice. If you ever do write Part Two you can always PM me with it ,if its too hot, for the Writers Group". !!

[shoeshine]

Fancy pattricia reading it twice!
