Talk:I Bought My Son a Bucket of Slime for Christmas, and Now I Need Some Questions Answered/@comment-34823985-20181228224341

I thought this was a cool idea, but the father/son dynamic doesn't match with the lack of emotion. The protagonist seems more concerned with what to do with the bucket of blob than with the loss of his child. He lost his son, so he goes online looking for answers?

I pretty much saw what was coming (not necessarily a bad thing, imo) and I hoped he'd realize what was in the bucket before his son got to it. I envisioned him luring his ex-wife to his place and feeding her to the bucket of blob. Hell, I thought maybe several people would disappear as the story progressed. What a wonderful way to dispose of... problems.

Now, having said all that; I still enjoyed the story. The strettttching was a nice touch. I'm willing to fire up my figurative flame thrower and burn down all semblance of reality or sense for a few minutes if the story is well written. I don't feel like I wasted my time reading this. It had a bit of a campy feel to it and I like campy. I wish I saw more of it on the site.
