To help with farm work, Kenji purchases a Fyth, a giantess slave.
Hey, SpookyTaco,
(awesome handle, by the way).
I only stop by here occasionally, but reading your story actually forced me to register so I could make a comment,
The story has great characters and a fun, interesting storyline. It's one of the most original takes on the giantess theme that I've read in some time (and for some reason, I really like that they're reading Charlotte's Web. It seems to fit the story, somehow).
Thanks for this story. I look forward to reading more.

Thanks Rainman! As far as handles go, it's interesting you chose 11311, both an asteroid and a palindromic prime number. :)
Hi, Spookytaco.
Well, I liked that a lot. I especially enjoyed the characters.
Alani and her kind are considered animals in this society (even Alani thinks of herself in this way). I think the way we treat animals (even giant, intelligent, humanoid 'animals') is a reflection of our character.
Carl, for example, is a bitter, unhappy man, and the way he treats submissive, subservient Alani shows the kind of person he is. Still, didn't Carl say that Alani wasn't to blame for his injuries. Maybe Alani is softening up grumpy old Carl. Which is good, because I felt bad for Alani for being so naive as to think of Carl as her friend.
The relationship between Alani and Lyric (love that name) is really sweet. A child in that society would be likely to think of Alani as a great big pet, at best, but Lyric wants her for a friend right away. Again, I think that's a reflection of Lyric's character and upbringing.
There seems to be something brewing between Kenji and Alani, but I'm glad that nothing overtly sexual happened yet. That would have seemed odd in that society, especially in the short time they've had together so far.
Alani's sweet, self-effacing nature seems to be bringing out the best in her 'owners'. I like that.
I like to think about what would happen in future installments to this story.
Something romantic between Kenji and Alani?
Alani going from Lyric's reading buddy to a sort of mother figure.
Alani and Carl as drinking buddies?
Oh, the possibilities.
I hope you do continue this, but if not, it stands up as a fine story all by itself.
Thanks for the great read.

Wow. I'm humbled. Thank you.
