Glove Man by Jack Straw

    I believe this is the first time I have read Jack's writing and I
must say I was very impressed.  I have much admired the skills of David
Sullivan for the last year, and Jack seems to have similar gifts.  The
real talent Jack shows in abundance is his eye for detail.  He has
chopped-out what is inconsequential but has left the most minor details
that still influence the reader's perceptions.  My favorite part of any
story on this site is the psychology.  Jack plays the mental subjugation
of the men in his story in such detail that I can feel what they do.
Thus the appeal of the escapism concept!  The story was tight, crisp,
and devoid of any glaring weaknesses.  I would suggest trimming some of
the paragraphs a little and trying to show the woman's mindset a little
better, but otherwise fantastic!
