Miss Nee strikes again! Always a pleasure to read one of Mattblack's stories.
Overall a great story but too many open questions.
What has Kevin to do with this story? Who shot him, and why? Has he any connection with Curtis?
Who is Miss Nee really?
What happened later on? Did Carol sometime feel sorry for her behaviour?
What happend to the first wife Carla?
Nice story, a dark little tale expressing, how Karma doesn't always take the direct route. As the ad says, it might not happen overnight, but it will happen...
5 stars

A very thought provoking story. Kept me guessing until the end. This needs two other stories, the first on Miss Nee's life before she was given HIV, the second on what happened to Curtis and Carol.
Quite confusing and a number of loose ends doesn't help clear the confusion.
But Mattblack is one good writer.
Hmmm... Where have I seen "Nemesis" before? Oh, yeah...
Nevertheless, I enjoyed it a great deal. Nice play on the name, BTW. The 'Tramp approves!

One of your better ones; but considering they’re quite bad….well, the less said the better.
Is it Carla or Carol?
~~~
"Because he wanted to make another statement about how superior he was to you." - He's already bigger and stronger, but needs a couple of guys to prove how "superior" he is?
A couple of issues for me. Why would Curtis beat up Carol? He's the one who infected her. The other is, AIDS is no longer a death sentence. Still, 4 stars.
Miss Nee or Nemesis looks a lot like an avenging angel to me. Good story.
I liked it. Miss Nee is an interesting character. Her history would make a great story.
Even though you don't like to 'wrap up everything in a nice bow', this story felt incomplete. Was Miss Nee really infected? probably if she was willing to fuck a guy 6 times just to get revenge for her friend. gave you 4 stars
It is always nice to see a new story from Matt. No one else comes up with plots like his. Well done.
Pretty decent story, too many questions left unanswered. Still I give it a 4
That was really bad. Very poor.
.
So Dave married Carla while still in high school?
.
And the mysterious Ms Née was never explained.
.
The Dave character was totally up likable. So readers never cared about him being used. Nor did they care when he got his pathetic revenge.
.
Bad plot. Boring cardboard players. Stupid ending.

Not sure I’ve got this right but how it’s written he married some girl called Carla in high school, so before he was eighteen!!!! (great to have understanding parents). Then Curtis stole Carla away and they divorced, later he met Carol and married her, Curtis moved back and then stole Carol as well (sheeze poor guy just can’t catch a break).
Not your best work Matt which is unusual. Still we can’t all bat a thousand.
Didn't like it. The idea of nemesis is awesome but the story itself failed. One problem, her parents didn't like Curtis but they kept him employed? Why?
More importantly the AIDS angle is like having someone infected w strep throat. AIDS is treatable and in fact the treatments are such that it is very hard for someone w treated hiv to infect someone.
A much better way would have been for Nemesis to take Curtis from Carol, turn him into her love slave ( remember she us Nemesis,), totally get him under her thumb then throw him away, leaving him a shell. I would say she could have done that with Carol but Curtis wouldn't care about her....
Just lacked imagination.
Send lots of cigarettes to the meanest dude in the jail to make sure Curtis' punishment is on-going until he is a crippled mess when he gets out. Then Dave can visit some more payback on him in person. Two by fours are cheap to acquire. Take back Carol and Carla only to dump them. Never let up on Curtis. Play his game back on him.
Kinda weak ... HIV is not a death sentence today. AIDS is once you go full blown so a drug cocktail would have kept both of the creeps "healthy".
Did someone hack your account, Matt? This is way below your usual quality. How many times did Dave marry? Divorce? Lots of uncharacteristic grammar errors, no drama, wooden characters, too many cliches including the telegraphed ending. Three stars so you'll write more and go back to the good stuff.
why would Carol try to sue Dave over being shitty ex-wife that divorced him for Curtis?
Why would Carol try to sue Dave? Because she was a self-absorbed, entitled, stupid bitch.
the conversations in this story read like a bad LW story. so far removed from how a normal person would talk
⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like the story generally. But, there are questions. Dave lost Carla after high school, then Carol after college. TWO wives to the same guy? What happened to Carla? Why was it so long before he married Carol? Why doesn't that stupid bitch realize how expendable she is to Curtis? Why did Curtis beat Carol? He fucked up and got them both infected. No revenge on Curtis' homeboys? What possible grounds would Carol have to sue Dave? Etc., etc.
Give us a do over. Write version2.0 longer. Don't rush. Fill in the blanks. Maybe a series about Miss Nee. Her backstory would seem interesting.
Being aware that you have AIDs and then deliberately having unprotected sex, without warning your partner is illegal in most States...but I really like Miss Nee's way of taking care of problems.
A really well written story. I give you 4 points because I felt let down at the end. Yes, justice has been done, but it would have been even better if we had seen the result clearly.
I love anonymous's comment that being aware that you have aids and having unprotected sex is illegal. I just dont understand it - She killed her ex in a drive by shooting - which I believe is illegal in all states. So I guess the legality of the act didnt really enter into it for her.
Great story
Taking one star off for the author giving the vibe that HIV was a hoax ("they were waiting for results"). If it was confirmed, it'd have made it an amazing BTB worth 10 stars.
Hilarious, these days they can work on HlV. But it’s still a killer.
Great BTB
4/5
Told a nice, well constructed story. Also who doesn’t like the bully taking it in the shorts?
So much is left just... out. This feels like an outline for a better story, but this is not that story.
You have done much better but no matter the Striking Ironmongers will still loveit.
By the way, there was never ever even as hint in my story that HIV was a hoax. I have no idea how that conclusion was reached.
Good little plot. Curious why Miss Nee would spend a few months setting this up? Was she dumped or divorce from Curtis or have something to do with her dead husband?
Just a message for Dave, mate it took Curtis AND TWO of his mates SNEAKING UP ON YOU IN THE DARK to give you a beating to show you who was superior,
so as Curtis's superior hold your head up.
And as Carol didn't work that out it shows Carol is as thick as a brick, Curtis did you a favour
Another good story although I've seen the ' woman with AIDs gets revenge on men' plot before. Well written and paced. Personally I would have liked to have seen a yes she did or no she didn't conclusion but I understand your choice
Fun story but you left a gaping plot hole. What happened to CARLA, the first woman the a-hole stole from Dave & married???
10 big blazing stars for Mr Matt Black, Good Job sir! Great Writing, Good Plot, good Effort, Thanks for this great story. Buster2U
An exceptionally clever and well-constructed story! Full Marks! Loved it - always great to see the downtrodden and bullied come out on top! BRILLIANT for none of us saw this coming only when it was revealed at the end it made me look and understand the title! Well done MattblackUK!
Whether she gave him AIDs or not is pretty immaterial. He got his revenge by having someone else beat the shit out of his slut wife and end up in jail for doing so. If it was a small city, “accidentally” letting word out his ex may have contracted HIV would be further revenge. No one would touch her with a ten foot pole. Maybe not the best revenge but better than most real life divorces.
