Where is the revenge? Was the revenge the husband fucking al the women becuase his wife was a cheating whore?
Hard to follow. I get the theme but the confusion of characters popping in and out took away from the story. Try again.
This is not a story. It is not a conversation. It is NOTHING. Throw it away. Delete it.
Horribly written. Much more than can be excused from an attempt to fit an inappropriate story into a 750 word format.
I admit it took some thoughtful re-reading to keep track of the plot development--but doing so led me to appreciate the succinct but sardonic unraveling of the Dunn's marital and business relationships. And hell yes give all the women sexually harassed by her husband raises and promotions while simultaneously firing his ass--which, if nothing else, should head off later legal retaliation by the victims against her company. It's a plus that Mrs. Dunn is smart enough to resign her position in favor of her husband's latest conquest BEFORE she invites the new male hire on a sexual journey to Brazil--and in front of witnesses; no chance of a legal kickback against her as the trip would clearly be consensual and not tied to any job benefits.
Guess the preceding reviewers couldn't see the forest for the trees.
Well done. More please.

Sad when authors write such nonsensical crap and expect the readers to somehow be able to divine what is going on.
quite disjointed - good premise but needed better character identification and differentiation and also needed to be longer with more consequences
Too many people for this short a story. Need to at least mention who/what they are when they first talk. Nice story concept.
I suspect this was carefully and minutely planned and staged. But the characters were so obscure, and the plot so vague and simple that it just wasn't worth the effort to decode this private joke. It appears her husband, who works for a company she controls, was fucking women who also worked in the business? Yeah, so what? Happens in A Lot of stories. What's special about this one? You might as well try telling a joke about a Rabbi, a Baptist minister, and a Catholic priest, to a Tibetan monk who is unfamiliar with any other religion, and couldn't care less. Me either. But thanks for the effort.
Low score. The story because of its style of writing with the freaking 750 word project, which frankly 99 percent of the time are either good ideas that don't get the love they deserve or outright terrible, leaves the story a confusing mess. The revenge seems barely existent, the worst vitriol was towards the lawyer friend, the characters weak, and the plot bare bones. Might be a good story if it wasn't so limited, wife getting revenge on her cheating apparently trophy husband.
This would have been better if you had used Burroughs' "cut up" method. Would have made more sense too.
okay. You start with Elaine needing advil. why? Anticipation of seeing the video? Her reaction to John, the lawyer is not consistent with what he says. Then she doubles the cheating women's salary. No explanation. Now she decides to cheat.
Trying to trim this to 750 words, you lost the story. 2 stars
It really needs to be redone, it's confusing in who is who and the ending…… well it doesn't.
