This story was pretty good but, for me personally, had a little too muh 'reality'.
I thought the premise was brilliant. I've always been a fan of solo stories where our heroine creates elaborate machines or mechanisms to secure herself and this box idea was a rarity for me which I liked.
But the whole involvement of the John character just spoiled it somewhat for me. Was there any real need to make him such an arsehole? Couldn't he have just been a tool for Amy to play with and then kicked out when she forgot herself?
Did we really have to have the attempted r-pe and police intervention and all the extraneous detail about the court case?
Did it really add to the story line of a girl exploring her fantasies. It just seemed a bit too much like a PSA warning on personal safety for women. That's not what I read stories like this for. I come to sites like this to get away from real life for a few hours.
For me, John could have disappeared after Amy had her way with him and then released her friend and apologised. Actually, she could probably have disappeared then as well.
The story would still have stood up perfectly well without John's involvement.
For me, the story is about our lonely heroine finding how much she liked being in her box by her own hand and then dumping one friend who turned out to be unreliable and then stumbling across another who cares for her and helps her going forward to explore more ways of securing herself.
I liked it, I really did. But I've downloaded it and edited out all of John's involvement and I'll come back and read it again when it's faded a little from my memory.
I hope you continue and I hope we get to hear more about the clever ways our heroine devises to lock herself up.
Thanks for your hard work. I know it's not easy and takes a lot of time and effort but it was worth it and it's appreciated.
