"No, I don't think it's mouths to feed. I think it's that they are a distraction and maybe a cause for Herder violence. But sending Carlin away with them means they'll be likely to come back here, perhaps to stay, which is what I think she wants - what we all want."
"That's true, but I don't know if Mirselene is as devious as you present her."
"Now don't twist my words, Ezra," she scolded him, touching his arm. "I only meant she is far-seeing and looks out for the tribe."
"And you must be almost as devious to look into her mind so convincingly."
"Me, devious?"
She was genuinely shocked for a second and then realised he was joking and laughed. Erin heard her laughter and came over to join the conversation. Dagma and Sharne had reached an impasse in their discussion and also caught them up, swinging Pepi along.
Thus it was a good-humoured escort party who were welcomed back to the camp that morning, having seen three much-loved daughters of the tribe begin to grow up and wend their way toward adulthood.

Anonymousover 3 years agoI've read other intriguing stories on Literotica
(but they are an infinitesimally small percentage of the total stories),
and this one ranks right up there with the best.
I think part of it is the author's style of writing.
Maybe something that cannot be taught -- like innate musical ability, but once recognized, may be developed and improved.

Anonymousalmost 4 years agoHaving just read Murder & Precession, I'm a bit disappointed so far.
The plot started with promise, but got bogged down in too much slow moving and dull sex, which doesn't seem to be your forte.
I accept the sex is necessary for the plot, but I'd have preferred more exploration of the characters and the changes the tribe are experiencing, and a much smaller word count for basic bed mechanics.
I've seen how you can write, so will stick with it and hope it improves.

The answer to the problem of cloning males comes later. Something stops male mammals from being cloned. I admit it's just a device to make a woman-only planet and have some fun, but I hope it's not completely implausible.
Bessie the ancient cow has been genetically engineered to produce milk her whole life. But actually I believe a cow (and a woman) will continue to produce milk so long as she is still being milked or is suckling or expressing.
The reason why mammals need to be cloned but birds, insects, amphibians, reptiles, fish and molluscs, etc, can breed without cloning is that they all lay eggs. The explanation comes later but it's pretty sketchy.
Thanks for reading and enjoying my story.

Anonymousalmost 6 years agoA cow that has not had a calf within the past few months (couple of years) cannot give milk. If a cow cannot have a calf, it is only use is to be eaten. I can't imagine utilizing the scarce resources of the cloning facility simply to provide a variety of meat.
And, why do the waterfowl reproduce sexually but not cattle? What is the division between affected species?
And, wouldn't M_ the chief know that she could sell a few drops of his blood to the cloners for practically any price? Then, they could clone males as well...
Just some musings as I get sucked into a great story!
JasonRTaylorover 9 years agoThe sex, relationships and even the plot all move steadily into more satisfying territory with each chapter.
