Well written and a good finish. I guess it's just me but I read these stories for entertainment. Mostly they have no basis or relationship to real life. So I don't understand some of the readers (mostly anonymous Andys) jumping on your case because they think this couldn't happen in real life and that the characters wouldn't have or should have done this or that. GET A GRIP PEOPLE, IT'S A STORY.
I may not agree with what the characters did or their motivation or the ending, but I read your stories because I like your style.
One of my favorite authors on this sight gave a good piece of advice that I will offer you. Write your stories for you. You have an audience of one. If others like your writings good, if they don't you have still pleased your target audience. YOU.
Sorry to ramble so long. Thanks for your work and keep it up.
like a sad clown in the circus. Excellent work creatively.
Of course I could never go back to that woman. She has no moral core in her and is completely self-centered. But then we would not have the radio station in the middle...
I don't know what film it was but someone did something similar with a portable stereo, he stood outside the house until his wife or girlfriend took notice. One thing I will say is your writing has improved 100% from your first story.
You are simply a motherfucker. Do not know when to stop. I think your father is a truck or cab driver.
Don't try to be a modern shakespeare. Stop writing for few days, then you will come out with better stories.
The billboard thing would have been nice in a story where the couple deserved to get back together, but I doubt that was the case here. The author made this all about the chase of getting back together without addressing any of the underlying issues about whether they belonged back together or not. Why did she let her friend commit adultery in her house, for starters? That was a very intriguing problem from chapter 1, and there literally wasn't a single sentence that attempted to address that. Then we have her behavior of leaving him without talking, sticking in the knife with the divorce terms, dating immediately after leaving, etc etc... Why is the husband so keen to get back with her?! Seriously, what did she ever do in the first chapter or this one to indicate she might be a good person or a good wife?
when your looking to write a story base it on something that could happen not sillyness this is what your into now.
I thought the billboards was great, nice ending to the story, thanks.
You have a very fertile mind. Not the usual cheating wife country and western take. And the writing is getting better. Please keep up the good work.
I did like the story, although I feel like he saved his marriage and got back a vindictive, self centered bitch.
She was perfectly happy to ruin him financially while she had the good life. And why didn't his lawyer jump on her confestion of committing adultery. True or not it reveled her lack of morals and should have allowed him to reverce the divoce settelment.
The problem with this 2nd chapter is that two days "after" she kicked him out she started dating... There is the issue that prior to his discovering that her friend was using their home, there were problems already... That would mean that she was not innocent... he had survivors guilt of sorts... but she was self-centered... as per usual, rather than looking for ways to fix the problem - she decided to make it his problem...
not good.
