All Comments on '750 Words About Guilt'

Every husband concerned that his wife may wander needs a dog to induce guilt in any gentlemen who would lead his wife astray.

Nicely different, RR. I liked this one.

Huh?

Great story. You've just made me hate two people. Jill and who ever the asshole Jody was. I even hate Rover after reading this.

Is there a second paragraph to this appallingly stupid and pointless story?

I didn't like the story. The asshole did have some guilty conscience but for how long til until another slut-wife comes along?

Gave this 4 star because it was really well-written but I did hate it coz there was no consequences for the pussy hound nor the whore-wife. That wife will find someone else who'll eat the prepared breakfast soon.

Anyone screwing a serviceman's wife is the scum of the earth

Wow what a lovely man, obviously a saint among men because a dog can sense these things you know, they’re not giving of their affection to just anyone.

It’s just heartwarming to know there are such stalwarts of moral integrity, willing to take the time and energy to make sure the wives of serving military be comforted and cared for.

Just a little upset that he could walk away from that wonderful woman after she lovingly cooked him such an appetising breakfast.

That poor dog (no the one with four legs) will have to come to terms with losing his master, it’s a well known fact that canines mourn like we humans do, I can still picture him curled up on the bed waiting for his master to return, dreaming of walkies and playing fetch.

I’ve got to stop here, the tears are blurring the screen.

One contemptible man with no redeeming qualities to speak of. One equally unrepentant wife who’ll seemingly get to deceive happily ever after.

Another one of those flash stories where you wish somebody/some event would balance the scales.

He is an asshole and would deserve the bullet the good Sergeant has for him, as does the faithless wife.

1/5

Reedy Richards is a shitty writer ...and despite everyone telling him that he still continues to spew his rotten shit on the pages of LW....

Deeply wish COVID can rid us of this pest at an early date

The inspiration for this story? Just the dog, jammed up against me the morning I wrote it.

At least it was short.

Jody felt guilty for the wrong reason. As a vet he should want to protect the soldier while deployed. One could hope this Jody drives off a cliff on the way home.

Great story. Guilt over the dog! Even the lowest fo the low have standards. Never steal a man’s dog.

An interesting flash story from a much different perspective than usual. Of the three characters portrayed, none were good. Not even the dog. Feel very, very sorry for the military guy.

Just another story about an entitled cheating bitch and a broke dick Jody. Pretty sorry ass'd dog as well. Must be the wife's dog. Most dogs a man would have know who their masters are and will protect the home by removing appendages from male strangers and not snuggling up in bed with them.

...how about this Jody getting Jody’s, and having a harder time with the guilt than the fact a dog made him guilty. Maybe the dog should bite him in the ass... or the other side. This just makes you feel bad about every character, Rover included. Done rambling, you write really well, and this is very original. Art is supposed to draw a reaction, and this did, so, success. Now I’m going to be wondering about these 4 for a long time.

Thanks for writing...but damn it!

Gave it four stars because it was well written? Hmm. never could understand that reasoning. No matter how well written, after all one doesn't except English majors here, it's an amateur porn site. But to score a story based on how well it's written is ridiculous. Either you liked it or didn't, that's how I score them. Of course, there are exception, especially if one uses such bad grammar it's difficult to read and yes there are some authors here that shouldn't be writing. I gave this one a three star rating. The subject matter isn't something I relish.

"Bronstein was a luck man to have a wife like her." Nope. He'd be lucky if he hadn't married a slut.

Interesting story. The narrator has no morality at all where human beings are concerned, but he respects dogs. No surprise since he is himself just a cur.

As a veteran, I have no sympathy for either character cheating on someone deployed from home. That doesn't change you did a good job writing a compact story in 750 words. 4*

That’s what I was thinking. What a poor excuse for a dog! A good dog would have bit the guy’s dick off.

Not one clean heart in the building

I read this story and scratched my head.

I read the comments and scratched my head.

When I read Your comment, 'The inspiration for this story? Just the dog, jammed up against me the morning I wrote it.' I wondered if you were saying you were Jodie or, your dog finally came back to you after snuggling up to Jodie.

Did working in the Vet's hospital give you the hunting ground you needed when you could still get it up?

Oh, come on, now! People are hating on the dog?

By the way, the 476th Engineering Detachment is a real unit at schuylkill Haven, and Army surveyors are trained at Ft Lost in the Woods. The characters are, of course, fictitious.

A Jody without guilt is destined to be a repeat Jody. Being a repeat Jody will very much increase the odds of retribution. One can only hope it comes soon and with extreme prejudice!

The wife is a worthless whore, but she chose her path. The poor dog was just likely duped by the whore’s acceptance of the asshat Jody.

Well written, as is the usual for RR. You often have characters I find repulsive, but I can’t fault your story telling.

Hilarious twist. Even a sociopath has his limits. Thanks for the grins and giggles.

Not a likable character in the lot. Even the dog was dumber than a stump. He should have been growling and biting the guy. With no one to root for, the story had no chance of being interesting or entertaining.

Normally I like most of you stuff -- this one not so much. Seems more like an outline to what could be a better story. It could go a lot ways. Just seems a little lazy to do it like this.

"Hating on the dog..."

Well, you did name him Rover, not Fido. Think about it...

What the hell is a Jody? 4 stars...thanx..

5* For the story, 1* for the asshat character. I know there are real people like this and they deserve the beatings they should get.

You were wrong at the end when he says Bronstein is a lucky man to have a wife like her. With a wife like that at home I'd say he has no luck at all.

with 2nd verse worse than the 1st. TK U MLJ LV NV

Yeah yeah the usual smug crap from RR, gods gift to women apparently. A legend in his own mind.

Fuck this guy and to hell with RR's story.

Rare that a loving wife tale makes me laugh. Your's did. 5

well what ever ,you are still a low life piece of shit . i guess that say's alot about your ugly wife and nasty pussy.

I have a 308 round for all the Jodie's. That disrespect our military Heroes..! I am a Marine Corps Scout I have no empathy especially when it comes to this issue.

I have no idea what the point of this story is. If it is about guilt, then where is the confession, the remorse, the penance, the absolution.

If it had not of been him fucking this cheating slut, it would of been (has been?) someone else. He thinks you can run away from guilt? Naw, he's an asshole, she's an asshole, and they wii both die assholes.

Maybe she will get caught with the next guy. Maybe she will repent and become the perfect wife. Maybe you could try to write that story. This was just a window on a hiccup during an affair. Wouldn't surprise me if he's back in the same bed next week. Let's hope he pays.

Thanks for the effort. You've barely got a rating of 3.

I disagree with the negative comments. I think a lot of the stories charm is the fact that it was only 750 words. I loved. You did a wonderful job with so few words.

...not bad.

Well written, but didn't invoke much of a reaction from me. So where are the kids during the father's two weeks away? 4 stars.

***You made a good point 750 words of it. Nice going. Thanks for sharing.

I really hate 750 word stories! A lot of good story lines go to waste....Who ever thought up this stupid idea anyway? Most likely a writer who couldn't "Finish The Damn Story"

Great story, but I disliked every character except the first sargent Michael Bronstein. But there is no character development except for the dog who wanted to snuggle.

@Anonymous, a "Jody" is a man who fucks a serviceman's wife while he's away on duty.

Reed Richards is LW's provocateur. His writing is excellent. He has great grammar and punctuation. His geography and detail is always correct, no nothing to dislike there. But his characters are so despicable that there is nothing to like about the stories of unapologetic cheating. These "Jody" stories are especially triggering to me. I wish only the absolute worst for Reed's cheaters. We need another "It Was Just One Time - The Sequel", where 1SG Bronstein returns to give Jody a life changing attitude adjustment. I know Reed writes these stories just to pull our chains, but he needs to do this sequel to throw a bone to a loyal reader.

Thanx sbrooks for educating me on what a Jody is.

Loklie

You wrote your character has Central heterochromia, but that's not correct. Central heterochromia means the iris changes color from the pupil out. I have that, gold in the center to green on the outside. Your character had heterochromia, different colored eyes.

Yes, your character is despicable. One day Jody will be shot by an angry husband. But we can only pray it happens sooner rather than later.

The Only Good Thing I Can Say Is

Thank goodness this was a short story.

Mr Mann72 asked me if I was Jody or the do. I’ve been the side guy before, but that was a long time ago, last century. The dog is our dog, barks at strangers but is very friendly once she gets to know someone.

When he is disappeared by the 1SG, he will not be missed.

Hopefully this was tung in cheek, otherwise let’s hope this Jody gets hit by a bus, or worse.

I seem to recall a story where the interloper was exposed because the dog that always barked at strangers, didn't bark at him when he came over when the husband was home.

Mr Brooks: Yup, I did use the dog who didn’t bark once before. It ain’t plagiarism to use my own idea twice.

Nothing lower than stealing dog's affections from his man. Hilarious! For a musical laugh have a listen to Dr. John's How Come My Dog Don't Bark (When You Come Around). That song might be an inspiration for a LW 750 worder. Great little tune in any case.

You can have my wife. I'll even help her pack. But stay the absolute fuck away from my dog!!

If my wife is at the front door yelling to be left in, and my dog is at the back door barking to be left in, I let the dog in first. At least he shuts up yapping when I let him in!

Having been a wartime serviceman, I really dislike tales of screwing a serviceman’s wife when he is overseas doing his duty. At least the jerk never came back.

Really different. What a warped sense of what’s right. 3 stars.

WHAT AN ASSHOLE!! TRAILER PARK WHITE AMERICAN TRASH

Okay, so obviously this is despicable, and the main character is an absolute ass etc etc etc. That being said, I really enjoyed this story. It's well written, original, and as despicable as the basis of it is, ot actually made me laugh. No one is perfect, everyone has flaws, but we also all have lines in the sand we refuse to cross that we mostly dont even know about until we find ourselves staring at them head on. Not saying this absolves the main character, because it doesnt, just saying that this story highlight thats perfectly in a well written and humorous way.

Do all wives cheat????????

Just the married one's (see below). lol

And if Rover was a cat? ;)

Will always be a Jody. Rover should have bit his junk right off. Well, it would hurt less than what the 1st Sgt's men will do to him when they catch him. Scumbag.

First part is Reed’s justification for cheating wives and the assholes who screw them. The last part? Guess he just likes dawgs.

5* stars of course. Liked the story. Absurdity is always refreshing, especially here at LW. Thank you, RR.
