WOW that's powerful, like a punch to the mouth. strange though, i didn't find it arousing. i guess it brought flashbacks to my life, but i like it, i'm not flaming it, i felt for jim. you did a good job of conveying the emptiness someone feels after being used. a good job of writing down the body that functions after becoming an object, not the human being within. hauntingly powerful.

thanks. :) the feelings are a pretty familiar subject, even though my experiences weren't as bad as jim's. my best friend's dad actually told me that i was really alive. ^^

Oh, wow. You did some painful, beautiful things with this prompt.

OP here--

ALJFIAJFLD Someone actually read that pathetic, run-on excuse for a prompt and wrote a fic based on it!

It was beautiful and sad. And props for using the cop. I completely forgot about the character and it was a wonderful, wonderful surprise.

Wow, liked how this came together, and the sheer emotional torment in it. The first three scenes were a little confusing time wise, but I quickly caught onto the shifting time frames, and delivering them in this order gave the story a good structure of pain-explanation-solution (or at least attempting to heal him, though you left it open where he could be healed or not). I really liked the cop character; it's neat that you were able to take a background character, instead of using Frank or Cupcake as rapists. Also liked Bones and Prime Spock trying to heal Jim.

This is so very painful, and the way you looped back to the past, to show that Jim hadn't yet outrun all his demons.

Ugh. I am gutted.
