        This had to be a fantasy; I can't imagine any man getting paddled in the balls that many times. I do agree with some other reviews. The pace needs to slow down a bit. But it's indeed an imaginative story and I hope there's more. (8/10)

        Could have used a bit more character development.  A very interesting twist at the end. He sure got snuckered. I'd like read about some of those experiments that are in his future  (7/10)

        A fair start for a SF based story (might put that in your descriptors -- and this is fiction, not "real").  Pretty well written, but the pain parts are almost rushed through, as are the attendants' visits. Slow down, describe them more richly, complicate them a bit. Your readers will thank you. (7/10)

        Very nice. I would have liked a little more background information but the rest was great. (7/10)

        Not a bad start to the story. Characters could have been developed a bit better though. (7/10)
