All Comments on 'A Horse with No Name Pt. 02'

Thank you for writing this great piece. A worthy entry in the Mystery Tour, indeed.

damn fine read,

all of it.

well done.

thanks

A great story very well written, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

great story it was a fantastic read

You delivered in a way that only a writer of your legendary status could. This was one for the ages. I got Rafael Garza and Brodricksburg, now I have to go and search for number three. Great writing from a master craftsman. Thanks again, Randi.

Thank you. Well written and suspenseful. I have a TBI and the way you cover the effects is spot on. Only difference is that with the 2impacts he would have some vision identification problem and some balance problems. Thanks from us TBI people for stating our case and an excellent story.

A great read all the way through. Thanks for the time you put into this.

K.K. If I wore hats, mine would be off to you. This story is the proof of why blackrandie invited you the "The Legends Event",The way you blended those THREE stories together was truly a work of an excellent writer.

Another wonderful work to add to the masters list. I very much enjoy how he describes the first time two people have a sexual experience and all of its awkwardness. In this case, it was with Kate and Ben/Mike. Very realistic. Also like his choice of location as I am very familiar with these areas. Thank you for your contribution.

Cannot understand what Kaplan was doing still working for Stanley-he was supposed to be fired according to previous story - that sunday afternoon.

Well he is beetle dung now

a trip back to Brodricksburg. 5* all the way!

thank you for a wonderfully written story and for posting the 2 parts close enough together, that we didn't have to wait 2 weeks, and forget what we read in the 1st story, and thanks to literotica for the quick posting also

It was a pleasure to read, thank you.

Very well done.

I loved the resolution of this story. A well-written Literotica masterpiece! --JRZ

The second part didn't quite

keep up with the intensity

of the first part.

But that was to be expected.

A solid, interesting and

a most enjoyable story.

Kudos to the author!

Top ratings from me.

To what everyone else said.

Excellent story! I read both parts back to back. I found myself getting emotional at the closing of the story which a good story should do.;)

now to search for hidden answers in the ID. TK U MLJ LV NV

Great story. The code premise makes zero sense, sadly. Things just dont work that way. But I enjoyed the rest of it. Thanks for writing.

If someone gets it, please post.

One word, WONDERFUL!

Wonderfully written. The pacing of the story is perfect, the characters well developed. I'd like to have seen perhaps a bit more back-and-forth between Mike and Lisa; seems like she would have tried harder to redeem herself, or at least discuss their past/future in greater detail, IF they had truly loved each other at one point. That's nitpicking though, probably just me.

If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion: when a character is speaking, you might try using more contractions. To me, the dialogue seems a bit stilted; too formal. That said, you've written a great story and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Thanks for posting - 5 stars on both parts. And many thanks to Randi for her efforts.

This event fit right into your wheel house. As always, an excellent story from one of my favorite Lit authors. Thank You, a 5 is just too damn low.

A wonderfully crafted absorbing tale.Enjoyed the twists and turns and the final outcome.Well done K.K

This was a well written and thoroughly enjoyable story. Thanks for the submission

A fitting conclusion to a tale well told.

Thanks KK

Truly magnificent

Wow! They don't get any better than this! I'm not going to blow sunshine up your ass

(I've always wanted to say that) Fantastic Story Thanks ★ ★ ★ ★ ★WOOF!

K.K. must post stories every month or be tossed into solitary until he writes something. The guy has evolved into a very, very good writer. He is at the top of his game with this mystery. It's a great read from a very accomplished writer! Thanks for the hard work for us readers! 5 stars!

I've been up all night reading ( because I slept all day ) . This is truly one of the finest jewels i have ever had the pleasure in reading , THANK YOU ! I read it straight through and enjoyed it . Needless to say it got 5*'s .

Thanks for the read

txcracker

delivered with true mystery author craftsmanship. I loved the way the plot was was revealed as the characters were developed. The start was intriguing, and the ending complete; not too much or too little. That takes genuine skill. A most enjoyable story read in one sitting, and wholly captivating. Thank you!

An enjoyable read from start to finish, thanks very much for this terrific contribution to the MMT!

And another thank you for posting both parts so we're not left hanging, waiting for the conclusion.... ;-)

A 5* effort for sure!

I wonder what happened to K.K.? He used to post great stories every month.

I have a sneaking suspicion he has become a screen writer and makes good money writing. I was going to suggest that he so this story over as a screenplay for Netflix.

great story..i thought i had to press all the stars to vote, but after pressing 1 star I could not press any more. My vote is 5 stars

Great conclusion to the story. I was still convinced that George and Lisa were involved in the abduction and theft until you said otherwise.

Looking forward to reading some of your other stories now.

Very well done, Five Stars! Sure glad Randi got you old writers together for this series.

...an Edgar Award winner, for best first novel, a police procedural, from a few years back, and I gotta tell ya, the writer has nothing on you. Tight plot, compelling characters, sweet romance. What a real treat. This is clearly your genre. *****+ many thanks.

Tony Kaplan was Sonya's high school boyfriend who tried to rekindle night they "almost" had sex before being caught by her Father.

Really enjoyed it, nice to read a page turner likethis, kept my interest.

I had some of my usual nitpicks, but I couldn't spoil this wonderful story.

Five big stars!

Well done as a who done it.

Had me going thinking the Best Friend and Girl Friend were the Culprits. But all's well that End's well.

Will have to read more by you!!!

I liked the story a lot. I debated giving only 4 stars for all the errors- there were TONS of misplaced or wrong words that made reading a little harder, but in the end the story won out. Stylistically, the people are a little stiff in their interactions (like fiancé Lisa- she kind of came and went without much ado), but I appreciate K.K.’s fine contribution.

Damn good story KK, you deserve to be one of the legends

not the Best one on LitE, it has to be one of the Top Two!!!

Too bad LitE will only let you give 5*s

Always a pleasure to read a story from one of the all time great authors on Literotica.

I have enjoyed your writing for a long time. I read Raphael Garza and liked that also, but didn't realize that that was your first submission in a long time. I am also looking on other formats for DQS1, as he has left me hanging.

fucking standing

A good plot, full of suspense, drama, and romance. The characters that appear early in the story are well developed and interesting. The later characters were given as much substance as needed to further the plot, but it felt hollow and contrived the way Lisa and George entered and left their various scenes with the main character. You would think that Lisa would immediately realize she needed to come to grips with her past engagement and current romance with George, but we are left to believe that that whole conundrum was just left to fester, or be ignored. Her and George's relationship appears to have been cheap and of a rebound nature.

The story was not helped by all the superfluous and pointless details too often included by well meaning authors. Why did we need to know what he ate, when, that he needed to go to the grocery, that he drank bourbon two fingers at a time, and that while he suspected both George and Kaplan, he never made any real effort to determine if they were involved in his abduction, or might even be working together. And the owner of the company would definitely realize that he had an inside thief and murderer among his employees, but the story tells us nothing of any investigation being conducted.

And why would a person who knows someone wanted him dead, someone that was a work associate, leave his front door unlocked and himself available for further violence? The story was weakened by the failure of the characters to act like they took themselves and their own predicaments seriously. Lisa says nothing about George or their engagement, George says nothing about his feelings for Lisa, and Mike fails to ask any of the obvious questions about Lisa and George. Illogical and unrealistic.

Again, thanks for the effort. Pretty good overall.

Thank you for a very enjoyable story. Caught the reference to the previous stories, I'll never tell, lol. The cartel could still be looking for it's money or...well you know,😉.

Definite 4* hit.

Thanks again.

AMerryman

P.S. So much to read.I'm falling behind....

Thank you so much for the great story. One of the best I have had the pleasure of reading in quite some time.

I don't mean to take attention away from K.K., who is an excellent author, but anyone searching for DQS needs to go to Smashwords, from which I have just bought WWWM3.2 and 4.1.

To the main theme, I have always enjoyed K.K.'s stories and he gets a maximum score from me.

Thank you again sir - kudos.

I liked most of it a lot, but I reacted to the head-doctor categorically stating that there was no chance of any memory at all coming back to Ben/Mike. No doctor I've ever met would dare to nail a prognosis down like that. It simply never happens, and especially not with head trauma. Even if he held that view, it's unlikely that the doctor would say it out loud because he might actually take away the poor patients will to live. It was later proven wrong too, Ben/Mike did actually recall the telephone number.

Another thing, would the police actually call their main suspects "Mr" all the time? "Mr Pruitt", "Mr Peterson" and "Mr Kaplan". Perhaps in more formal settings, but surely not when discussing the crime among the policemen themselves?

Dr. Patterson looked at me for a moment then said, "Recovery your memory? No. You may recover some memory fragments, but they probably won't make any sense to you."

The doctor didn't tell Mike he would never remember anything. Read more carefully.

KK, thank you for posting this story for us. It reinforces what I always thought, that you're a damn good writer who really knows how to set the scene and tell a story. You were one of the first I read on Lit twenty years ago. Since then I've read and reread Jean's Modesty any number of times, and one day I realized why. It was because it was so well written. And now two decades later, your talents have only strengthened. Congratulations, sir.

One small observation. I notice your protagonists tend to be very gentle men who are good at working with their hands. Does that tell us something about you?

How in the world would SA not have a copy of this supposed gold mine on their servers? Hard to fathom.

Still a great story.

The code thing is implausible. If you can access the binaries for unreleased code, you're likely able to access the source code. Really, you build the source yourself to get the binaries. It must be so much more advanced than what I've really seen. You either get very selected access to code, or get it all. You're not going to find a developer's computer with binaries and no source. How are you going to fix bugs for customers without source? No, that's just not good. What's more likely is only having access to a limited portion of the whole app, and you fix that by stealing a backup tape.

So, minus that, it was OK. The relationship thing wasn't cool, with her going to get first choice and fiancée stealer being ok with being second. But he did good, not taking back the doubter. Then falling in love with a physical trainer, I dunno, seems unprofessional.

Excellent writing of a very intriguing and absorbing story. Thanks for the enjoyable read.

You used to be one of the biggest cuck writers on here. You purposely didn't allow votes and comments because of that. Boston Cream Pie has to be one of the most hardcore cuckold stories I've ever read. Then you write this masterpiece and it's like what? Fantastic.

I still voted 1 star because of your other stories you never allowed votes and comments for. Fantastic story.

Always ready for a story by K.K.,

Have been reading for years will continue.

Thank You

What an interesting story about losing ones total memory and an attempted homicide. I have known people with short term memory loss from injury but never a total loss. I really liked your story line flow and character development. Thanks for sharing. Five stars and no I don’t care about minor grammar errors. 😄.

Last year, when I first started reading Literotica, K.K. and this story were very early in that reading process. K.K. was one of the first “good” writers I came across, along with SS06, c2c and JPB. Certainly in the first 10 of the writers that got me hooked on Literotica.

But it was so early, and I hadn’t read enough stories that I felt I was qualified to score nor comment, and “favoriting” (I bet a bunch of you wish I never started). So I started reading others. When I went looking back for this story, one I thought of often, for the life of me I couldn’t remember who wrote. And I hadn’t favorited it either, so couldn’t search for it that way.

Fortunately tonight Random Stories brought up K.K. and I clicked on Authors’ Link, and rediscovered K.K. and this wonderful story.

Thanks K.K., for this truely 5-star story. And, of course, click on Favorite Story.

Excellent story. Plot is bittersweet - asshole did pay for his crimes - baseball strike poetic justice - but Mike loses decades of his life forever.

Loved it

How could a person ever know what goes on (or does not go on) in the mind of an amnesiac? Is his story real to life? Can someone really forget their own name, early childhood and late adulthood and at the same time still remember intuitive skills like driving and drywall construction? Even vocabulary requires a knowledge of prior life to have images to match up to words. And it was just too convenient to be exposed to memory-joggers for the one truly cognitive recollection, namely the desk hidden compartment (nothing intuitive about that), that was the crucial key to solving the Interapp puzzle, when he remembered nothing of Interapp (or anything else cognitive that was pre-accident).

But, you know, I do not think it makes any difference because as Ben/Mike told us what was (and was not) going on in his head, it felt like you were right there living in his head and life. The story felt real. And I have to admire the creativity of the author to come up with all the situations, scenarios, and particulars that made this an intriguing tale.

Literotica has lots of trash, so-so, and fair stories. And a fair number of good and better-than-good ones. But to find a gem like this one in the heap -- that's rare.

Great story and I love reading your mysteries! Keep them coming!

I realize it’s semi-integral to the way the story is told, but after the second time someone walked into his house through an unlocked door — considering him being almost killed, and that being one of the uppermost things on his mind — you’d think he would lock his doors to his house. Since he kept on thinking about his almost murder, and he was in the city that it occurred — hell, the last time he left it unlocked was after coming home from the hospital AFTER Kaplan shot him — you’d a thunk he’d think even a little bit about physical security.

I say “semi-integral” up top, but it wouldn’t have mattered too much if after the second unannounced entry, he’d have locked his doors and just let anyone in after they’d rung the doorbell. They ring the doorbell, Ben/Mike sees who it is and lets them in. THEN they walk in with Pizza, or pull a gun, or answer Mike’s cellphone without permission, etc.

Also, Kaplan’s hidden/missing car is never explained. Not a big deal, but a small puzzle left unanswered.

Romantic, empathetic and just generally a good read across the board. Nicely done!

I have been reading your stories for about 6 months and they are all very good. I'm just curious about the large gap in time between your earlier stories and this one. I'm glad you started writing again.

Why would anyone who has a choice live in PA rather the NC.

This is the third story I have read of yours and I think it is great. Loved the flow of the story and the way it followed a logical line to add intrigue and different possible different branches for the story line to take. What is the truth of who Ben is or was? Was he a criminal, or someone who got caught up in a situation he never saw coming. Was Ben/Mike guilty of stealing the program and a victim of a double cross or could he have been set up for the crime? Maybe it was Lisa, George or both? How does Kaplan figure in? Maybe it was one of his other friends. Loved the twist and turns. Only found a few mistakes that were minor in nature and did not take away from the story. Hope you keep writing and keeping us entertained. 5stars.

Different lost memory NOT recovered as in most stories of this type

4 stars

Police work etc flawed but you wrote I don't

High school grad and mother's death and later time extended

Top rank story, as could be expected from a great author like KK.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tale, well worth the time taken to read it

Scores 5/5

Great! It's awesome hearing all of the familiar places too. Enjoy your stories.

another one nit picking K. K. who has never written 1 story on here. I can't write , but look up to those that do. even if see something in grammar just look over because writing was my weak point in school. great story it could happen in life .

Don't take any notice of the nitpickers ......

wotthefukdotheyknow??

Great story ,

Thanks for writing it 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗.

Loved it.

The door locks on Ben/Mike's house in Raleigh call for some plot clean-up. When the detectives first arrive the house is locked and a pry bar is required. That leaves the question "How did Kaplan get into the house on January 25th if the keys were found in the car trunk?" If we explain this dilemma with the kidnappers leaving the house unlocked, then how did Kaplan leave the house locked? The locks are fixed the day after detectives broke in. Lisa and George and Kaplan seem to wander into the house at will - despite his previous attacks, Ben/Mike is not paranoid enough to lock his house when he is home? Were the new locks keyed the same as the old so that everyone had keys? Sherlock Holmes is on the case and Conan Doyle will fine tune the plot in due time, I'm sure.

.

K.K., thanks for a spellbinding story full of suspense and whodunnit. Nice twist with the permanent memory loss. A proof reader would have improved the ease of reading an excellent story.

Keep 'em comin'.

A couple things. As a locksmith I can fairly assuredly state that the door lock would not have been a deadbolt but rather a locking knob. A pry bar would not have opened an exterior door without destroying the door or the jamb. However, a locking knob is very easily opened with a pry bar. To lock the door push or turn the locking button on the knob and close the door. And you will notice the mention of changing the locks as they were not secure. An assumption would state they are referring to the locks on the front and back doors.

Issue 2... the keys were not in the trunk. You will notice that it is stated that the keys were found in the car (in the ignition) along with all the fast food garbage

An excellent enjoyable story!!!

It sucked me in quickly and never let me go. And I really liked the way it ended, seemed like the bad guy got pretty much what he had coming. But I have to say that I think Ben/Mike was either pretty naive or just flat out stupid. He was almost killed and left for dead, lost his memory and all of his past life. And knowing all that, when he went back to his home town he just believed everything people told him, answered the door without knowing who was on the other side of it, evidently left his front door unlocked after he moved back into his house, and took absolutely no precautions to keep his would-be killer away from him. He just got lucky with the baseball, and it’s just double lucky that the bullet didn’t hit him in the heart or the head. But like I’ve always heard, I guess sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. Anyway, as I said, great story, K.K., thanks for it.

A definate top 3 on this site. Thanks again.

Another five star story.

Beautifully told and professionally written. It flows so nicely.

This story is so good that I hope it was published on the open market. lt deserves to be set free for others to enjoy.

Well done.

May have been a few minor issues but they don't really detract from an excellent story overall.

When you can write Romance like this why write all that inferior Loving Wives stories. I admit I have enjoyed some Loving Wives stories but this one blows it out of the frigging water!!!

How can an author who writes a story like this , also produce a putrid offering like,"CARRIE", which, to my misfortune I started to read but finding the direction it was taking, gave up in disgust!! It is not fair to put such a story in the loving wives category, without a short description warning the reader of what it truly is. If there are men who enjoy watching their wives being fucked by others,good luck to them but at least give some indication of what the story is about. Most MEN find the "CARRIE" theme nauseating. That story didn't even have a rating system. While an author has the right to write what he wishes, the reader has the right to know the theme of the story. 5*s for this offering. I've learned to avoid the non-rated stories.

2nd time to enjoy this story.

Knocked it out of the park.

Well done.

Amazingly good story.

Best story in the 'loving wives' category.

Great part 2, love it. AAAAAA++++++

Where are the millions from his fantastic program that SA was going to sell for billions?

Amazing story!

Great story on all counts. 5*****

Great story, well worth 5 stars. One thing in particular that didn't ring true (can't say what, too big a spoiler) but overall an excellent read. Could easily be the plot of a film or an episode of a detective series.

Very well written loved it awesome story line. Thanks for ur hard work

Even though the premise of this story is a hackneyed trope, it had potential, but it is so deeply flawed that, were I grading this, I would give it a D-, and tell the author to re-read it and correct all the flaws, of which I made notes about 9 of them. In addition, every single page had multiple typos and grammatical errors. This makes me wonder why the author didn't care enough to use and editor and/or a proofreader, and just slapped out a story and posted it. I guess my expectations are too high.

Thank you for a very enjoyable read.

One hell of a story. Well written and the storyline flowed smoothly from beginning to end. 5/5
