Good morning everyone,
Today we’re diving between the covers of four new short stories written by Albert Robinson and inspired by inputs from his wife Lynn. Long-time readers should recognize Albert from earlier reviews dating back to September 2021. Older stories like “Spicing Up A Marriage” and “Secrets and Shenanigans” have previously been discussed.
These newer stories follow the same trope as their predecessors. Men are shrunken and humiliated, sometimes grievously injured, and normally shoved into a woman’s anus. If that’s your favorite fetish then you’ve come to the right place. Occasionally, women are also made tiny in Albert’s works, but that particular variation is infrequent and was not found in today’s stories.
Specifically, today’s post will analyze “The Shrunken Incel vs. Lesbian Cosplayers,” “Her Little Cub: The Affair,” “What The Spell Happened To You?”, and “Rear-Ended…” The oldest of these, Rear-Ended, was released on December 10, 2022, and the newest, The Shrunken Incel vs. Lesbian Cosplayers, was released on March 26, 2023. (FULL DISCLOSURE: Albert provided me with free review copies.)
Each is a quick read and costs about a dollar, $0.99 to be specific, or can be read for free via a Kindle Unlimited membership. The longest examples, Her Little Cub: The Affair and The Shrunken Incel vs. Lesbian Cosplayers, are both 32-pages long per Amazon. They can be read in half of an hour and experienced readers will finish them much quicker.
Being short stories there was not much opportunity to develop the characters. For the most part there was only a cursory description. Most frequently men were described in disparaging terms which justified the anal voyages and harsh treatment they endured. That’s understandable, the author provided reasons for the torture received by those characters. However, the characterization of the twenty-two year old miniaturized lover, Ryan Hills, in Her Little Cub: The Affair was unexpected and depressing.
Ryan, a former cabana boy at an exclusive country club, was depicted as a caring and generous lover to the comparatively giant-sized Mrs. Marilyn Bennett. Marilyn and Ryan met at the C.E.O. Coast Club where Marilyn frequently spent time with her girlfriends. After having sex, Marilyn asked if Ryan would be willing to be permanently shrunk to become her personal boy toy. Ryan immediately agreed stating that his “… life’s not headed anywhere” and that he has experienced a “… a lifetime of failures.“
Those unhappy facts gave the motivation to take a drastic step, permanently shrinking himself, to improve his lot and turn life around. However, at the very end Ryan said “I love you, Marilyn.” to which she responded with “Thanks…” Afterwards, they sat in an “awkward silence.”
Yikes! Ryan put everything into his relationship with Marilyn, but she did not reciprocate. He underwent an irreversible procedure and may never interact with any other human being again except Marilyn. Based on the fact that she does not share his romantic feelings she may treat him with the level of care given to a cherished pet.
To be clear, Marilyn did have affection for Ryan. She was concerned enough about his well-being to spend money to purchase luxurious miniature living quarters which included a bar, flat screen TV, and a hot tub. Nonetheless, she did not love him. And since she did not love him, who would? Was he doomed to spend the rest of his life in a loveless relationship? He was a tiny man, three inches tall, trapped in a rich woman’s house. He had no opportunity to find meaning in his life by completing higher education, meeting other people, pursuing a rewarding career, traveling the world, etc. That was sad. The other victims deserved their ill treatment, but Ryan was a good guy who got shafted. Hopefully, she will eventually love him back. Alternatively, since she was 50 years old and he was only 22 perhaps Marilyn will eventually die of old age and Ryan will then have to scramble to find a new life. TL;DR Cabana boys think carefully when mature women ask to shrink you! 🙂
In contrast, the guys diminished in the other three stories deserved their fates. One was the spoiled son of lawyer named Chad in Rear-Ended, one was an involuntary celibate (incel) named Damien in The Shrunken Incel vs. Lesbian Cosplayers, and one was a verbally abusive husband called Mark in What The Spell Happened To You. Chad and Damien had no redeeming qualities and thus it raised no objections when they were plunged unwillingly between feminine butt cheeks. Mark was a bit more likable, given that he appeared to change his ways, but it still seemed to take a threat from his wife’s best friend to ensure he remained a loving husband.
Regarding potential improvements, a “show, don’t tell” approach is suggested. For instance, when husband and wife Mark and Carly repaired their relationship in What the Spell Happened to You? it was conveyed in the following sentences:
“There was a relieving sense of reconnection between Mark and Carly; they laughed at his various gym antics, commiserated regarding both of their worthless bosses, exchanged workplace gossip, and even found common ground on what evening T.V. shows they enjoy.”
Instead of being “told” that they “laughed at his various gym antics” I would have preferred if that been “shown.” Meaning that it should have been described in detail. Did Mark forget to put the pin in a weight stack and thus lifted nothing? Did he sit down at a machine only to discover that the previous user was much stronger and thus he was unable to even budge the many plates they used? It need not be a lengthy recounting. A single relatable story would have sufficed. The same suggestion applies to “workplace gossip” and “what evening T.V. shows they enjoy.”
Additionally, everything was a bit too straight forward. The inclusion of twists and turns or a few surprises would have been welcome. Maybe a rude dude could have been shrunken, but then it turns out that he had experienced a tragedy that caused him to act poorly. The woman might have to consider if she was doing the right thing. Anything to add unpredictability.
Overall, these short stories were laser-focused on tiny men fans who want to read about little dudes going into women’s rear-ends. If that’s you then these are recommended!
That’s it for now folks. The next review, planned for the middle of next week, will analyze a size-themed video. Until then, keep growing!
