STRANDED III (the final sequel)

[Low_Roads]

The note of uncertainty (both Dora's and ours) makes these end pages most haunting. That Dora will never learn the truth about Priëlla until after her death, if even then (whether or not her infernal friend survived her return to hell; whether she even existed in reality or simply as a childish fantasy) gives the tale a wistful tone, leavened somewhat by our faith that good things are likely to happen to good demons. Priella's earned a little redemption, true; without a sequel to inform us, we'll never know if she ever was able to achieve it. Adult Dora's closing admonition, "Be good, Priëlla"… a well-worn pleasantry from her other unremembered existence… is a bittersweet piece of serendipity that addresses closing rather than continuance. All the same, I'd like to believe that these two unlikely comrades will be reunited someday.

Yes, I liked to give this one a little bit an open ending, alike my earlier Mermaid story. It doesn't perhaps give you the gratification that you were hoping for, that all turned out right, but there's good hope for that at least. The story has been a lot from Dora's point of view in the first place and so it ends now too.

Who knows? 😉

Thank you, Mettaur!

I was wondering if people liked it enough to stay interested (because most people come here for the tickling and the 2nd and 3rd story do not have a lot of tickling in it). Either way, the story was not written just for people who like tickling. It just contains a certain amount of it along the way.

Nice to hear you liked the story!
