How many 5s are you allowed to award, because this story is worth a boatload. The matter-of-fact tone completely sold the narrative as well as offering a frame of reference for/counterpoint to the sheer lunacy. Possibly my favorite story I’ve read here. Looking forward to the companion piece and others.
Got to admit it was entertaining. The last one the wife might have a little trouble overcoming. A man has to know his limits.
But his hod is completely empty!
Five Stars!
The real reason he could not write the story from heaven is that there no writers in heaven. How could there be? What do you write about. You get up. You have a good day. You sleep. You get up. You have a good day. You sleep. That's scintillating story material. A writer would be so bored out of his mind he would want to kill himself.
I think i dated that guy.... I now am happily married to a quite boring man who is not imaginitve to do shit like that... I actually have date many writers and those weird actors that go crazy from "being" their character for too long... Madness... I don't know why writers are renowned for drinking heavily... You should see their partners.... Artists of any sort are to be avoided... Possibility of being all locked together in a secured warehouse in the middle of nowhere... Or on a remote island that is not shown on maps...
You have some great stories. This isn't one of them!
and either ends in court or the cemetery or the nut house. TK U MLJ LV NV
I believe after the divorce he should find out how it feels to be shot in the head. Yeah that would make an interesting article. He could write it from Heaven, no hell. Shit I just remembered. No pencils.
I know I'm nuts too
It would probably make more sense to have him do some research on what it's like to be committed to a psychiatric hospital for electroshock therapy.
Made me wonder why the wife married the guy, but she must have always had one hell of a sense of humor! Not to mention an almost infinite amount of patience.
he should be reading the bible but maybe the humorous parts of it also offend him
He should start shooting himself in the head to know what it's like to commit suicide.
Did you read the story about the guy who tasered himself to be sure it worked?
As someone who once aspired to be an instructor of journalism (I instead became a spelunker), I must take task with you for setting back the concept of investigatory journalism at least 11 months by publishing this objectionable story. Apologize sir!
One of the most amusing stories I've every read online, I definitely enjoyed it.
It started out cute, but by the time:
Any doubt I might have had was erased one day when I came home to find him lying
curled up at the foot of the stairs.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm fine. Have you ever heard the expression 'A dog's life?' Well, I wanted
to get an idea of what a dog's life is really like and whether, in some ways, it
I lost it. Still laughing. Hell, I was drinking a cup of coffee at the time, and had to stop and wipe my keyboard down.
I would like to tell you how much I like this story but I can't, I'm to busy laughing.
Both stories are well-written and funny on their own, but they are truly exquisite as a pair! <applause for both authors>
Sweet story of a complete whack job. Sorry if it's true in any shape or form, but goddamn did I laugh.
Obviously, this is one subject he should have used investigative reporting to get to the answer; review couples who went through that problem.
Trying to learn in the first person can easily get you into what the wife said, and you should expect it, researchng a divorce.
Good story. Makes me wonder just how far some writer(s) might go for a story. Plummer, Plunket or somesuch, used to do things like that. I doubt he carried to infidelity, though!
take a writing class......i mean really......this is horrible in terms of plot
LOL, this guy takes the prize! He's got to be either the most hilariously insane character I've ever seen, or he's simply crazy like a fox.
It would be hard to believe that he's actually been setting up this infidelity scene for years, but given his history I wouldn't put it past him. <grin>
I really liked that one, it was so funny and crazy that it seemed real, of course it takes a loving wive and some simplicity huh cant want until you update..
greetz
rp just hopes his wife will believe it when he trys it out....
But I'm sure she knows better!
come up with this stuff? Its great. You my friend have a very interesting mind.
Love everything you write.
