Happy to see a new one from you. Not your usual style. I suspect you're as disgusted by most of the crap on Lit as your fans are.
Love it.
The only thing is, your shorts are too good! I want to know more. Well done.
A story requires a beginning, middle and end, where's the beginning at least?
When you acquire a reputation as a good writer, living up to that reputation can be a problem. It's not as easy to understand a Deke/Zeke shift in a character's name in a 907 word story from an accomplished writer. I don't mean to unduly complain, since the story was OK for one of these short story quickies.
For those who are wondering, what we read was a vignette, What's a vignette, you might ask?
"a brief evocative description, account, or episode."
So, no, a story does not require a beginning, a middle or an end.
A 5* vignette! Good job!
I'd like to learn more about who was involved and what happened, but...

This story.
Name of the author will get this good praise and a high score that it does not deserve.
Looking at this not as a romantic qhml1 famous thing, this one is actually good funny quickies! Some little snippets is always welcome in life<3
I have to ask... He THROWS a small woman across the hall and into a wall, so hard she literally slides down to land on her ass disoriented and unable to catch her fall. And the only thing the called cops care about it whether she was a prostitute?
So very nice to read another of your stories. Always guaranteed to be top drawer in all respects. Too short. Only advice I can give is When you take up your pen write till the inks gone
Not one of your best stories, but the ending is golden. Made me laugh a lot.
A clear and well-told story, but difficult to figure out. I'm not usually one of those clods who asks, "Duh - where's the sex?" but I missed that. I still loved your humorous twist. Revenge is best served with a heaping helping of embarrassment.
It's hard to say who I despise the most - the cheater or the cheater's assistant. Even being sued, she is getting off easy and the added humiliation only makes it better.
Great flash story! Would love to see a full treatment of what happened before this.
Whoa! Now There is Talent! Putting forth such an interesting story with so few words! Who cares whether his name is Deke or Zeke, the small minor points matter not. It is the entire Gist of the story explaining the loss of a beautiful and devoted marriage, by the determined evil being forced on a loyal married couple by the seduction of a wife. The righteous and unforgiving Husband who resents the loss of his Wife's fidelity and the destruction of his marriage. Fidelity can mean a lot to some people that value their spouse's loyalty more than anything else. So finding out that the most valuable thing in your whole world has been seduced, used, destroyed, and NEVER able to be returned to its "unused" or "untrashed" state again, regardless of how hard they try, I, E. Humpty Dumpty. Some things can only happen once. Good or Bad. Some things, you want to only happen once. Such as your Spouse's Seduction by some one else when you are not there to prevent it. 5 stars. Very thought provoking.
Pinto931: Nope it is a complete story that doesn't leave out anything necessary
I was just getting started on the story when I ran into a wall too.
Not your usual length and fare
Ending felt a little abrupt, but upon reflection it fits perfectly. I think I'm just used to your longer form stuff. This was simultaneously sad, upsetting, and satisfying, despite my lingering desire for more. Fantastic as usual!
a window would've been nicer for her first flying lesson...5*****************************
Way to short, and definitely not up to qhml1’s normal high standards, very abrupt ending to a very very short story.
Tanglewood, you make me look normal. That's nearly impossible. Ask around.
Seeing this is not a 750 word goodie, adding a few more words for clarity would be good.
This might have been a good story, if you weren't too lazy to actually write it. As it was, you started 3/4 of the way through, and then didn't finish it. What a shame. Please don't waste my time by posting such story fragments in the future.
Finally! One of those 750 word-ish (I didn’t count) stories that is complete enough to be good. It’s brevity is the only thing keeping it from being great.
Another potential interesting story down the drain. Seems no one wants to write an actual story anymore.
Good story, good sense of humor on the description of the slut. But no background on what happened- dialogue between whomever, which's the biggest thing sorely missing. Overall, enjoyable read. 4 stars Bob
Looks like an attempt at a 750 word that got away.
Not your best, but better than many others.
Thanks for sharing.
No background details.
Could have been an enjoyable read if only it was a little bit longer...
Been enjoying qhm1 stories, this ain't his better ones.
Thanks anyway Mr. qhm1.
Needed a lot more to really make this one special, instead it felt like a shower thought or something you thought of while taking a dump. Not your best.
First time I saw a qhml1 story under a 4. Hopefully my 5 will give the story a boost. Not many writers can tell a story in 750 words.
People who say revenge is hollow and doesn't help are the people to gutless to do it, 5 stars!
Throwing a woman int to the wall. What is happening to you? Have you joined the dark side?
Q has (finally) turned to the dark side!
There's a reason, so I've gotta ask ... Why? Has there been a major upheaval in the writer's own personal life?
Frankly, this one is not gonna win q as many accolades from the "intellectuals" here as many of his other stories. But, being more true-to-life is not a bad thing. It illustrates range.
I like it!
A decent teaser trailer for a story, but not even a full preview much less a full story. Another rather disappointing entry from a very inconsistent writer.
Nice, probably shouldn't be throwing women through doors, but that bitch needed to learn how to fly.
Got comfortable in the chair for a long one. Well not I have some time to finish this drink and ponder things. Great read.
Eh, I guess it was okay. Seemed kind of forced for a qhm1 story, didn't have the charm.
Meh. Way too short. There's a good story in this buried in the details though.
Works for me. She screwed up his marriage he showed her how to fly across a room.
Well told - just not enough of it. Was it supposed to be 750 words? Good but I would have preferred one of your longer tales.
Cool, I wish I could have done that to my X before she hightailed it to Brisbane Aus. I hope they like her over there. 5 BIG ASS FUCKING HUGE FLAMING NOVA STARS! Thanks, made my day.

thumbs up! Good way to make a point so that the determined cunt knows not to ever come back.
Best answer to swinging couples , who ruin a marriage, that I’ve seen yet. Welcome back.
I find it hard to understand why people never finish the stories they start. clearly this one needs another chapter, or at least a story.
Very strange- this is indeed the very same story, word for word, that came out today, by Scottgreen, named 'Seducing my married coworker'. I'm guessing that this is NOT one of Q's. But, what do I know?
I laughed pretty hard at the description of her pussy. Not saying you should be shaming a woman's pussy any more than you should shame a man's penis size, no, but sometimes the woman can deserve it, and if she does, don't hold back.
