Our story gets wilder and we are pushing boundaries. The mask and daubed handwriting artwork is something I would love to pin to my wall. I love it all, thank you partner.
And then there was Eleven....The Street is beginning to catch fire in this one! WOW! There's top-shelf stuff in every scene in this installment, and finally we see Rex the Mercenary, with his peculiar relaxation method, which I have to say is a hell of a lot more creative that the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction thing, which I tried once and could never get into. My therapist pushed me to sign up for a program at one of our top hospitals here in Philadelphia (Thomas Jefferson University)--went to the first class, and demanded they give me my $500 back, never went again after the first class. I just can't sit for 45 minutes and do absolutely nothing, you know? I'm not only a Scorpio male (which makes me not only totally insane, erratic, eccentric, passionate, psycho, and extreme in everything I do). but a lifelong Type A to the n-th power personality, where everything becomes a competition--a titanic, apocalyptic, climactic, winner-take-all battle! I went in there with the mentality of "I'm gonna be the best goddamn, highest-quality, blow-everyone-else-out-of-the-water meditator in this entire fucking place!" I get the impression that my views aren't exaclty what I'm supposed to be going for in MBSR, so probably best I pulled the ripcord! But I digress, as I often do. Full disclosure--I have no interest in mummifying myself in a leather body bag and hanging myself from the ceiling either--not my "bag."
Sorry, couldn't resist.
So, glad to see that Erin comes right out guns blazin' at ol' Max, whose "I'm just here to make money" reply is lame and baffling--since when is a Gordon Gekko type (which he's trying to hold himself out as, and failing at) squeamish about anything? Love her "why do you flip-flop" question. Kate, you had me going for a second with her concealing the pistol--thought the moment I'd been hoping for all this time would finally come when they got inside--double-tap to the base of the skull, bye-bye Max. The Pincer Steve going nuts chewing open his wrists, Red October gutting Max's security chief and those macabre details leave me wondering. I have a sneaking suspicion that perhaps Max may be Red October--a dissociative personality guy--a vague hunch. Been at the back of my mind now and then over the course of the story, but I bring it up now in the open. Erin broaches the topic, albeit rather tacitly with him, and his reaction is freaky, to say the least. Plus, the vibe Max gives off evokes Norman Bates' off-camera exclamation "Mother, blood!" in "Psycho" after he chops up Janet Leigh in the shower, though Max is more of a basket case than Norman--he's shaking, baby-like, wants to be cuddled by Erin (behaves like a "little" in the BDSM world--the whole submissive thing where the sub likes playing the "baby" with pacifiers, diapers, cribs--that whole kink). Then, there's Erin's catching him in his knowing about the vehicles and the location of where they are. So something's not right (I never trusted the son-of-a-bitch from the start as you know). Looking forward to Erin doing some damage to him when she gets home--maybe some "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" to find out the whole skinny on what he's really about, what the hell's going on, and just inflicting some gratuitous pain on the little bastard. Perhaps it involves that mask-like apparatus that Sissitrix drew as the lead-off sketch at the top? That's some hardcore bondage gear goin' on there! Looks like something you'd see worn by members of some weird Scandinavian Dark Metal band, Rammstein impersonators, or maybe some guys trying to break into pro-wrestling with a leather gimmick--whatever it is--edgy, cool, dramatic, Gothic, and perfect 10 for any prop/costume design department!
And lastly, but definitely, not least--there are the dark delights of Club Underground. Diana the Domme and Rex the Mercenary and Sub. Must say that two images leapt to mind when I read about how Rex was rigged up. Plus, found surreality of this scene very, very "Twin Peaks." First image was the "Bring out the Gimp" scene from "Pulp Fiction." Second thing was Allen the Pod, and how it spoke with Erin--especially how she had to pull the plug from Rex's mouth to enable him to speak--his manner of speaking was very "formal," very similar to Allen's--then his having a knife in there with him the whole time (which makes the entire bondage thing either academic or pointless--he's armed during the whole thing, with a blade sharp enough to shred the heavy-duty leather he was wrapped up in--so there's no "power exchange" to speak of, but some illusion of it, which Diana has to be in on from the start--they're probably lovers already, so we may be seeing some "bedroom BDSM" with these two). Given Erin's reaction to Rex overall, I think that Max doesn't have long for this world, and that my prediction from a review of an earlier episode that she'd get with Rex or Rex and Diana looks like it may come true.
That's all I've got for Part 11! Had a great time with this one--I enjoyed the intense "Grangerian" eroticism of Erin's face-to-face with Rex after his unveiling--she was taken by surprise by him, and I think she'll be taken by him in the physical sense as well, and perhaps to such an extent that she'll forget about the damn machines. But the machines may ot take kindly to it--therein lies "a rider to the tale," as Judge Holden would say. Another tour de force!
Hi John, your comments are a work of a mad literary genius. I love them and they fit perfectly into Sin Street. It's wonderful to hear your thoughts and ideas so please keep them coming. For me, the art was sublime. I want a framed picture of the mask Sissitrix created. It's all Sin Street and that speaks to me. I hope you are doing well with your own writing and having a great weekend.
Kate--I am all-in for the title of "Mad Literary Genius!" I'm on board with it, claim it 1000%, and should my work reach the status where merch becomes an issue--that will be part of a logo, a slogan, a hashtag--something! That mask was something to behold! Can't wait to see to what use it's put. Both of you never fail to please. Thanks!!!

A lot of scenes inspired me in this eleventh episode. It was a pleasure to draw your words.
Thank you, I feel the same way. I love working with you

Another great chapter. Thanks to both of you for a thrilling read.
Hi Martin, thank you so much for your lovely comment. Everytime I look at the mask it thrills me.
Handjob Hannah? Love it! lol “Stubby” is half the man he used to be! 🤣🤣
