Of Crichton’s oeuvre I’ve only read Jurassic Park and I couldn’t say that’s the first comparison that springs to mind when reading yours.. unless I missed the best bits of Jurassic Park I suppose...
LOL!

I am sure that’s the first time I’ve seen the word “crichtonian”.. why are some authors suffixed with “-ian” and others with “-esque”? Why “Ballardian” but ”Kafkaesque”? And is there a group of shadowy literary wizards like @Eulalia who decide on these things?Yes. I have always found his descriptions to be quite vivid, when I read them I can actually see the scene in my mind.
Thank you. It is always a challenge in fiction writing to walk the line between too little or too much description. More can help set the scene and draw the reader in. Too much can end up being a torrent of adjectives that reads like cheap pulp fiction or cheap pornography. Oh Wait! That's what I am writing!Yes.

I think you get the balance just about bloody perfectThank you. It is always a challenge in fiction writing to walk the line between too little or too much description.

No need to apologise, I rather like these sketchy piecesI beg to apologize to my readers. I realize the posting is erratic and the quality more so. It was just a little idea I had that I rushed out without proper preparation. It is moving rapidly to the conclusion. Just take is as it is meant to be, a short piece of doggerel about rape (and a minor subplot).
a short piece of doggerel
Never noticed before how it echoes in here..So we don't forget the beginning of the story before we get to the end. So we don't forget the beginning of the story before we get to the end. So we don't forget the beginning of the story before we get to the end.
Happy endings all round!! A nice tale. Short and..if not sweet, then certainly tasty.The End (for now)
VIII
Over the next ninety minutes, the five men attacked Caroline sexually in every way possible, vaginally, anally, orally; singly, doubly, even three at a time. While the acts were what Caroline regarded as filthy and perverted, they maintained her in a state of constant, high arousal, and she lost track of how many times she came.
At last they were satiated and left off attacking. Caroline lay on her back on the mattress, arms and legs spread, in a kind of trance of sexual ecstasy. Cum oozed from her cunt and ass and drooled from her mouth.
They allowed her some time to recover, and then William directed her to a bathroom. “Take a shower and clean yourself up bitch.”
Caroline spent a long time under a hot shower, washing the physical and mental residue of the assault off herself. She couldn’t tear her mind away from the intensity of the last few hours of the powerful reaction of her body to multiple sexual assaults. Was this the end, she asked? Or would they just return to another round? Strangely, she didn’t feel any dread at that thought.
As she emerged, naked and glowing, from the shower, several of the men whistled their appreciation of her body. In a totally unplanned response, she smiled at the compliments.
Harry handed her clothes to her and told her to get dressed. When she did, William showed her the tablet. The bomb was gone!
“You’ve been a good sport, bitch. We will take you home and not bother you again.”
“Oh, thank you!”
“But you must never tell anyone what happened here. Or, when you least expect it, the bomb will be back and blow you and your family to hell!”
“I won’t! I won’t! Trust me!”
“I think we can,” said William
Two weeks later
William sat at the bar in the “Biker Haven” black tavern, nursing a club soda. A nervous white man entered and sat tentatively on the stool next to him and ordered a straight bourbon.
“Nice to see you, David. How’s it hanging?” asked William.
“Good, Sir, um, William. Real Good.”
“Did you bring it?”
“Yes,” said David, pulling a thick envelope out of his pocket and sliding it to William. “It’s all there, $5,000 in hundreds, as you said. It’s all there, you can count it.”
“Don’t need to, David,” said William flashing a smile, as the white man gulped down his drink.
“Thanks,” said David winching at the burning drink. “I’m glad to pay.”
“So you another satisfied customer?”
“Oh yes! It’s all you promised and more. She’ll do anything. And I mean anything! I even got some BDSM stuff and she didn't bat an eye! What a wildcat!”
“Glad to please a customer. Remember, feel free to recommend us to your friends. KKR Club – we guarantee the result!”
“Oh yes, Sir. I will,” said David, getting up. "I won't forget," he said nervously, heading for the exit.
As the door closed behind him, William turned to the bartender and ordered another club soda and put the envelope in his back pocket. “Another honky wimp saved from a sexless marriage. God, I love this business!” he said to the tall Oriental man.
“Don’t we all,” said Charles.
My object all sublime...That ending was very satisfying, after a series of episodes that I didn't really enjoy and almost gave up on...........it's a good job there's sod all else to do at the moment!!
