    Hi Slimv, Well, I read your last story. It's certainly
ranks as one of the better ones typically written on these
boards and elsewhere. From the point of view of grammar,
well, though not perfect it is a quantum leap over what is
found usually. The mother's segue was a bit fast and
without much tension, so I thought it a bit unrealistic,
but then, you have a story to tell and it's often not too
good an idea to get bogged down in details. So, I took it
on faith and enjoyed the continuance.

One thing I liked was the inner tension I felt with regards
to the underlying smoking story. Will the mother encourage
her son to smoke more? Will she finally get turned on (or
whatever) to the notion that she'll "live" on as a smoking
legacy she bestowed onto her son (even relishing the
thought that what she's done to her body she'd want done to
his and, so, she makes sure that this legacy is entrenched,
etc., etc., you know, combinations of fetishistic images
brought on by my own projecting and a reality born of
story? I'm not into incest, at all, yet you've delineated
it in, I suppose, as palatable fashion as one can. Still,
not my own cup of tea, but se la vie.

The key, I feel, is to keep the pace flowing gingerly and
you seem to be doing that, and well. So...keep up the good
work and, hopefully, the accolades will follow. Of course,
to really start obtaining fans, you may want to also think
of posting your story in places with a wider following.

I hope I've helped you here.

Will the mother
