The story popped up today on the first page list of random stories.
The first sentence of the story is:"The sun was about to set and made a fitting back drop to the blackened hole peppered house in front of them."
I understand "The sun was about to set," but the rest of the sentence leaves me baffled. what is a "blackened hole peppered house"?
I'm sure somebody here can explain how I'm misreading this sentence to create a mystery when there really is no mystery.
The sun was about to set and made a fitting back drop to the blackened hole peppered house in front of them.
Maybe it should have been written like this:
The sun was about to set and made a fitting back drop to the blackened, hole-peppered house in front of them.
Burned and shot up house?
The setting sun made a fitting backdrop to the soot-stained, bullet-pocked house in front of them
...though I don't like 'fitting', why is it fitting? Is it redolent of the recent flames? Why is it significant that it's in front of them? Is it supposed to be their next cover?
The angry red sky and setting sun were a mocking echo of the flames that had recently danced above their destination, now a soot-stained, bullet-riddles shell of the house that was to have been an observation post.
The sun was about to set and made a fitting back drop to the blackened hole peppered house in front of them.
Might well mean that "The sun was about to set. That made a fitting backdrop for the house to the west of me/us. The house was peppered with blackened holes." It might mean something else, too.
The house was peppered with blackened holes.
Only the holes were blackened? Was it attacked by Imperial Storm Troopers?
The house was peppered with blackened holes
Non-PC alert!
The director couldn't get any African-American holes to audition, so he used Caucasian holes and shoe-polish.

I would interpret "hole peppered" in this context as implying full of bullet holes.
Blackened is ambiguous without more context. It could mean fire scorched or it could mean dark, as in without power for lights.
If it is fire scorched, it can't be too badly burned or you'd loose the bullet holes.
"The sun was about to set and made a fitting back drop to the blackened hole peppered house in front of them."
That's why you need to hyphenate certain words. It should be "hole-peppered" meaning it was peppered with holes.
the blackened hole peppered house
The house was a blackened hole (eg a hole in a lightning-struck tree trunk) to which someone has applied a condiment, perhaps to deter cats.

The setting sun sent forth rays of blackened pepper to the blackened dwelling and as the rattlesnake kissed desert called to me with its yews and yaws I longed for the simple days on Mars. "Well, those Graviton propellers won't rotate themselves" I said to myself.
Whatever happened to good old-fashioned "bullet-riddled"?
I suffered from fat-finger syndrome above and hit S instead of D.
In this case it was tidally locked black holes orbiting each other and spinning through the house.
I couldn't get past the title of the story. I had a flash image in my head of a mask wearing freak running amok in an adult toy store with a chainsaw.
Is it fair to give this story a 1-bomb without reading the codes?
No it's not. It's not a story I would read to begin with, as the title of the story alone is off-putting to me with or without codes. Therefore I wouldn't vote on it to begin with.
I've never understood the need of some to bomb a story they never read.

I agree!
It's known as mirror writing, a common phenomenon amongst children.
Smaug actually wanted a Bilbo massacre.

I'm surprised someone hasn't written a BDSM story using the theme.
I've seen a LOR video porn spoof where Frodo wore The One Ring as a Prince Albert.
I'd not bothered with the actual posts, but I do wonder from the thread title:
Why did someone go around massacring dildos? But, more importantly, why does anyone care?
"Four Highschool babes and their sexy teacher take the wrong turn and get caught up in a hillibilly sex frenzy. Kidnap, rape, sexual torture and the rest. (Score how you feel but be warned you get what it says on the tin)"
Current score is 6.30, which isn't too bad considering the content.

Why did someone go around massacring dildos?
It wasn't a massacre, it wasn't even assault. The charge was battery.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was about an in-bred family of psychopaths that went around killing people with chainsaws.
So the Texas Dildo massacre must be about some warrior priest killing a horde or sex vampires by driving dildos through their hearts.
It is a sad day when your BOB's aren't charged.
Disagree. I like not having to pay to read Lubrican's stories ;-)
AJ
I was thinking of a different use of the acronym, and I'm sure we would soon know if joyR's BOBs lost charge.

Yes, she posts to the form while it's recharging ;-)
