I Will Be Your Dominatrix / 294-0-00078-806-6

I'm not sure who this short story is supposed to appeal to. It's not what I would consider "erotica" - the dominatrix angle is extremely thin and barely dealt with, and there's not enough reading material on the main character's profession to fill the time while you boil an egg.

Instead, the focus is not on her profession but rather her boredom with it, and in predictable short story fashion, she quits at the end of shift one day, walks out and finds another job (no previous experience required, apparently), only to find that the hours are longer and the pay worse than her previous, easy-breezy high paying job in the sex industry, so she walks out of her new respectable job and happily back into her old one.

That's it - that's the whole story. And, in true short story fashion, there's no dealing with her previous unhappiness at her old job - that sense of unfulfilled ambitions evaporates as soon as she realizes that the pay is as good as it is, and you'd really think that an intelligent character could have figured out comparative salaries prior to all the job-hopping. The whole conceit just feels very thin and flimsy, and the short story seems to have been hastily slapped together, with a handful of spelling and grammar errors in the process.

I wouldn't recommend this short story - the price is low, but even free things take time to read and this story just isn't worth it.

  1. A whole short story built around a pointless plot cul-de-sac? My favorite!
