By the way "strait" is a body of water. "Straight" is heterosexual.

excellent chapter..i have a guess about what your planning and cant wait to see of im right.

Truly excellent writing. I'm a big fan of big sub and hypno themes, and this was a cock-churning work!

Hello again! not worn out at all GoodTime! I'm more worried that you could became too bored to read me always commenting! It doesn't feel repetitive, because you're doing different ways to humiliate poor officer Huntly, so it works for me. If you want to expand the playground, you could try to change of setting, or go deeper in mind control, like modify memories, habits, or other people around him to further break his mind. But you're doing perfectly, from my point of view. I'm always happy to read the updates.

is his cage metal or plastic sometimes you say plastic sometimes its metal but then its pink??? same as: he plays with his caged dick and then left bis hole alone... pls reread your stories... all in all i really like it...

Would love to see what happens to someone on the top floor, do they get reprogrammed too?

I loved hair loss scene. I have been Nairing myself for years with marginal luck.

That was really good. I simple premise executed really well. Good pacing, good dialogue, and having him doing yoga at the time was a good plot device for easing us into the situation. Well done.

Thank you so much!!

You raise good points, Hypnothrill, but I think it's pretty clear that what Lane decides to do ISN'T a good idea. *He* may think so, but it doesn't make it right; the fact that he enslaves Dylan and puts off freeing him ("yeah, someday, someday") suggests that he's selfish in a different way than Todd was; the latter was super-selfish, but Lane, in his eagerness to "fix" things, just automatically assumes that his opinion of making things better is right without considering if it actually IS. Kind of a condescending "I know what's best, so we're going to do this my way"--white liberalism. :p Like many people, I was initially so thrilled to see Todd lose that I didn't really stop to think about the implications...and then the more I thought about it, the more I realized that Lane was still robbing people of their free will, controlling their diets, trying to make policy changes, etc.; it's just that he did so in a "nice" way, so it seems better. But it's NOT better...I think that is part of what makes the ending so effective, that the *reader themself* is tricked into going along with Lane's agenda. :O The best kind of propaganda is the one that makes you agree with it, right?...I don't think Swizzington is endorsing the view that hypnosis is better than free will, either. To be honest, I kind of like that we couldn't see any of Lane's character flaws in the final half of the story, or at least see why they weren't a focus--because he was being hunted down like a dog. If one of his high-speed escapes or chases had been interrupted with a scene of "Gee, if I had this kind of power, I would use it to run for political office!" I'd have said "There are literally people trying to trap you in chains right now, and THIS is what you're thinking about? WHY?" The second half of the story was really more of a suspense tale than anything else, and suspense tales don't exactly lend themselves to characters planning for the future; they have to deal with the here and now immediately (I think about Dan Brown, who will interrupt a chase scene with a lengthy flashback explaining how the name "Mona Lisa" is actually a secret coded reference to Egyptian gods of fertility; yeah, it's INTERESTING, but it pulls me out of the story so fast that I lose my place). As for your points, Kyle, I don't think it was really Lane who "bested" Todd--Chester's tech protected him, then Dylan got him to escape, and it was Chester's tech again that recruited Nathan (both Nathans, actually) and then THOSE Nathans who took down Todd. If anything, it makes Lane seem like more of an opportunist, who happily takes credit for other's work--another negative quality that shows up in the ending, when he has Andrew run for office and hides behind the scene. I think that Lane, unlike a lot of protagonists, is that kind of sneaky manipulator, who has other people do his work for him. It's a unique take! As for the running around/almost getting caught, I again think this is best understood as a suspense story, not an erotic one (or a mix of the two). We accept the protagonists getting out of jams and just-avoiding capture because that's what makes it exciting! :D If Lane had gotten caught right away, the build-up would not have worked. That's what I think, at least! :D
